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

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month, with the following results: Sales (90 units) $90,000 Production
umka21 [38]

Answer:

d.$18,900

Explanation:

Gross Profit is the net of Sales value and production cost in the period for the units sold. Under absorption costing all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production of products are included in the total production cost. As the cost is available for 100 units produced we need to calculate the cost of 90 unit and deduct this cost from the sales value to determine the gross profit and then deduct the operating expenses to calculate the operating income.

Sales (90 units)                                                                  $90,000

Less: Production costs:

Direct materials ( $40,000 x 90/100 )              $36,000

Direct labor ( 20,000 x 90/100 )                       $18,000

Variable factory overhead ( 2,000 x 90/100 ) $1,800

Fixed factory overhead ( 7,000 x 90/100 )      <u>$6,300</u>

Total Production cost                                                       <u>($62,100)</u>

Gross Profit                                                                        $27,900

Less Operating expenses:

Variable operating expenses $8,000

Fixed operating expenses      $1,000

                                                                                          <u>($9,000)</u>

Operating Income                                                             <u>$18,900</u>

true or false: firms should obey all the laws, including but not limited to labor, consumer protection, and the environment.
lesya [120]

False. The actions of the company that are expected by society but are not specified by legislation are included in its ethical duties. The need that the company be environment friendly is one of the ethical responsibility criteria.

The company should be constantly mindful of its operations and how they impact the environment. It is the moral and ethical responsibility of every human and every business. A business that upholds the law is also a business that values social responsibility. The company is free to operate whatever it sees fit, but only within the confines of the rules set down by numerous laws, including labor, environment, and criminal laws.
