Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Fixed cost is
= $500,000 + $1,000,000
= $1,500,000
And, the marginal cost is
= $0.25 + $0.10
= $0.35 per paer
Now
as we know that
AFC = FC ÷ Q
Now for At 1,000,000 papers,
AFC is
= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000
= $1.50/mo
At 800,000
, it would be
AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000
= $1.875/mo
MC = $0.35 per paper and the same is not changed
Now for break even, the average total cost is
ATC = AFC + AVC
ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q
VC = MC × Q
ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC
ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35
At Q = 1,000,000,
ATC = 1.50 + 0.35
ATC = $1.85
At Q = 800,000
, it would be
ATC = 1.875 + 0.35
= $2.225
As it can be seen that
The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.
The MC remains constant or same at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same
And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375
Answer:
B. Investing activity.
Explanation:
Investing activity refers to payment for acquisition of assets like a new building. It is an investing activity because the asset is expected to generate returns in terms of savings in rent.
Answer:
b. All of the answers are correct.
Explanation:
Death Spiral is a situation when a company's goods or services produced are declining and fixed cost is same. The company will be exposed to a burden of fixed cost if its output is reduced.
In this question the various departments of a company are underutilized. The fixed price allocated to each department will be same hence creating a burden on a company's funds. Managers may decide to reduce the services they use to reduce the cost of their department. The internal pricing system will start recovering the sunk cost of company. Managers will also consider purchasing services internally or externally whichever is cost effective. All of the statements are correct there b is correct option.
Answer: Old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:
= 624,000 - 524,000
= $100,000
Over a period of 5 years this will be:
= 100,000 * 5
= $500,000
Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:
= 500,000 + 32,000
= $532,000
The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:
= 532,000 - 455,100
= $76,900
<em>Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought. </em>
