A) Adding all goods and services
Answer:
c. accept the loan with the lower effective annual rate rather than the loan with the lower annual percentage rate.
Explanation:
In the above scenario it will be a good financial decision to choose a loan with lower effective rate than the one with lower percentage rate.
Effective rate is defined as the real interest rate on a loan or the actual amount that is to be repaid annually on a loan. It gives a truer picture of cost of borrowing money.
Percentage rate is interest paid on a loan expressed as a percentage of the total amount collected. It usually includes various fees and charges collected by the lender. So it is not a true reflection of the cost of borrowing
Answer:
b. $0.40 per unit and $8,000
Explanation:
High low method separates the fixed cost and variable cost using net of Highest activity level and Lowest activity level and net of their relevant costs.
According to High low method
Variable cost per unit = ( Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity - Lowest activity )
Variable cost per unit = ( $120,000 - $74,000 ) / ( 280,000 - 165,000 )
Variable cost per unit = $46,000 / 115,000
Variable cost per unit = $0.4
Fixed operating cost = Total cost - Total Variable cost = $120,000 - ( 280,000 x $0.4 ) = $8,000
<u>Calculation of Breakeven Point:</u>
The breakeven point (units) can be calculated using the following formula:
Breakeven Point (Units) = Total Fixed cost/ (Selling Price- Variable Cost)
It is given that the company produces custom bike license plates and spends $5525 per month in building overhead plus $2.50 per license plate. The plates sell for $5.99 each.
Hence,
Breakeven Point (Units) = 5525 / (5.99-2.50) = 1583.09
Hence we can say that the company must sell <u>1583 plates</u> each month before making the profit.
