Answer:

Lawnmowers= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 114,314

Chainsaws= 68,589

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales Mix - Unit Contribution Margin

Lawnmowers 20 % $34

Weed-trimmers 50 % $24

Chainsaws 30 % $37

Yard total has fixed cost of $6,836,000

Based on the weighted average sales participation and the unit contribution margin, we can calculate the weighted average contribution margin for the whole company. We need it to calculate the break-even point in units.

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / (weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)

Weighted average contribution margin= sales participation per product* unitary contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.20*34) + (0.5*24) + (0.3*37)= 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 6,836,000/ 29.9= 228,629 units

Now, we can calculate the required units for each product:

Lawnmowers= 0.20*228,629= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 0.50*228,629= 114,314

Chainsaws= 0.3*228,629= 68,589

Answer:

Employee stock ownership plan

Explanation:

An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is a retirement plan wherein the employer contributes its shares (or funds to purchase its stock) to the fund for the advantage of the employees of the company.

The company maintains an account for every employee who participates in the program.

Over time stock shares accumulate before an employee is eligible to them.

With an ESOP, while still working with the company, you never purchase or keep the stock directly.

If an employee is fired, decides to retire, is disabled, or dies, the company must transfer the stock shares in the account of the employee.

If the company is using the payback period method and it requires a payback of three years or less, which project(s) should be s

algol [13]

Answer: Project X

Explanation:

The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.

Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;

= 68,000/24,000

= 2.83 years

Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;

= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback

Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000

= $56,000

This means that the third year is the year before payback.

60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000

Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000

= 3.2 years

Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.
