Answer: Break even Point = 39683 units  

Explanation:

Break even Point

break even point units is the number of units a firm needs to sell in order to cover the total cost  of production. it is the point where the company makes no profit or loss. Break even point units is calculated by dividing fixed cost with contribution margin  which is the Sell price minus Variable cost  

Fixed costs = $25000

selling Price = $1

variable costs = 0.37 cents

break even point units = Fixed Costs/ (selling price - variable costs)

Break even Point Units = 25000/ (1 - 0.37)

Break even Point units = 39682.53968 =  39683 (rounded off)

The demand forecast is 30000 units while the break even point units is 39683 units. The company (Producer of felt tip pens) will not make profit from the expected demand simply because  the amount of units required to cover total production costs (to break even) is higher than the demand expected.  The company will not be able to sell enough units

Answer:

Expected Net Cash Flow = $3.8 million

Net Present Value (NPV) = $1.0492 million

Explanation:

Given Cash outflow = $10 million

Provided cash inflows as follows:

Particulars           Good condition         Moderate condition        Bad Condition

Probability                  30%                               40%                                  30%

Cash flow                $9 million                     $4 million                       $1 million

Average expected cash flow each year = ($9 million X 30 %) + ($4 million X 40%) + ($1 million X 30%) = $2.7 million + $1.6 million + $0.3 million = $4.6 million

Three year expected cash flow = ($4.6 million each year X 3) - $10 million = $13.8 million - $10 million = $3.8 million

While calculating NPV we will use Present Value Annuity Factor (PVAF) @12% for 3 years = \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12){^1}} + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12){^2}} + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12){^3}} = 2.402

NPV = PV of inflows - PV of Outflows = $4.6 million X 2.402 - $10 million = $11.0492 million - $10 million = $1.0492 million

Expected Net Cash Flow = $3.8 million

Net Present Value (NPV) = $1.0492 million

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

III. I, II, III, and IV.

  • I. It is part of the double-entry procedure that keeps the accounting equation in balance.
  • II. It represents a decrease to assets.
  • III. It represents an increase to liabilities.
  • IV. It is on the right side of a T-account.

Explanation:

The debit-credit balance is necessary for maintaining the accounting equation in balance, i.e. all the debits must have a corresponding credit.

Asset accounts increase when they are debited and decrease when they are credited.

Liabilities accounts decrease when they are debited and increase when they are credited.

Debits are on the left side of a t-account and credits are on the right side.
