s are $486,000 and its total costs are $791,000. The firm can increase its production by 5 percent, without increasing either its total fixed costs or its variable costs per unit. A customer has made a one-time offer for an additional 50,000 units at a price per unit of $.165. Should the firm sell the additional units at the offered price? Why or why not?

Answer: The offer should be rejected.

Explanation:

Given the following :

Total units produced = 1,700,000 units

Total cost = $791,000

Total fixed cost = $486,000

5% increase in production = (0.05 × 1,700,000) = 85,000

Units required by customer = 50,000 ( it is still within range without incurring additional fixed and variable cost).

Hence, total variable cost :

Total cost - total fixed cost

$(791,000 - 486,000) = $305,000

Variable cost per unit :

Total variable cost / total units produced

$305,000 / 1,700,000

= $0.179

Variable cost = marginal cost (Since variable cost per unit will be unchanged).

Offered price = $0.165

$0.165 < $0.179

Since offered price < marginal cost ; The offer should be rejected.

Which one of these statements related to discounted payback is correct?a) the discounted payback period decreases as teh discoun
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

A) the discounted payback period decreases as the discount rate increases

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is used to determine the profitability of an investment project.

A not discounted payback period is how long does it take for the cash flows of a project to recoup the investment's cost without considering the value of money in time. By applying a discount to the cash flows, the discounted period will more accurately measure the length of time needed to recoup an investment using current dollars.

The higher the discount rate, the longer it will take for the cash flows to cover the investment's cost, so if the discount rate lowers, then the discounted payback period will be shorter.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

$5.31

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding

<em>where,</em>

<u>Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :</u>

Net Income                                                                       $650,000

Less Preference Stock dividend                                       ($71,000)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock      $579,000

<em>and</em>

<u>Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :</u>

Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding                                  100,000

Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2)                                9,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding    109,000

therefore,

Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷  109,000

                                = $5.31

The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.
