Answer: proportion of extra income that is consumed. (D)

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an additional income that an individual consumes.

A building acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $1,375,000 has an estimated residual value of $250,000 and an esti

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

a. 0.05

b. $68,750

a. $1,150,000

b. 0.1

c. $115,000

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation rate x cost of the asset

Depreciation rate = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 / 40 = 0.05

The double-declining-balance depreciation for the first year = 0.05 x $1,375,000 = $68,750

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

The depreciable cost = Cost of asset - Salvage value = $1,450,000 - $300,000 = $1,150,000

The straight line rate = 1 / useful life = 1 / 10 = 0.1

The annual straight-line depreciation = $1,150,000 x 0.1 = $115,000

2. Break-even point in dollar sales

= Break even point in units X Sale price per unit

= 2,700 units X $21 = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales

= $\frac{8,100 + 600}{3}$ = 2,900 units

Final Answer

1. Break even points in units will be = 2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

Wiggle Pools has total equity of $358,200 and net income of $47,500. The debt-equity ratio is .68 and the total asset turnover i

Westkost [7]

Answer:

It is 6.58%

Explanation:

Debt-Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity

0.68= Debt/358,200

Debt = 0.68 x 358,200

Debt = $243,576

Total Asset Turnover = Revenue/ Total Asset

Total Assets = Debt + Equity = $243,576+ $358,200=$601,776

1.2= Revenue/601,776

Revenue= 1.2 x 601,776

=$722,131.20

Profit Margin = Net income/ Revenue x 100%

= $47,500/$722,131.20 x100%

= 6.58%
