Answer:

Option B is true.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The break-even point in units formula is:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

What changes the break-even point:

A variation in fixed costs.

A variation on the selling price.

A variation in the unitary variable cost.

<u>The higher the fixed costs, the higher the number of units. Lower the contribution margin, the higher the number of units.</u>

Therefore:

a. An increase in contribution margin per unit causes the break-even point in units to increase. False, is the opposite.

b. An increase in fixed costs causes the break-even point to increase. True, now the organization needs to sell more units to cover the fixed costs.

c. The break-even point in sales dollars equals total fixed costs divided by contribution margin per unit. False, in dollars you need to divide it for the contribution margin ratio (contribution margin / selling price).

d. A decrease in the variable cost per unit causes the break-even point in units to increase. False, is the opposite.

Supply, the supply curve, and the supply schedule are three different ways of expressing information about the supply of a good - service - or resource

<h3>What are ways of expressing supply?</h3>

The folowing information applies to the questions displayed below] Hoboken Industries currently manufactures 48,000 units of par

kap26 [50]

Answer:

1. 72000 units.

2. $19.

Explanation:

Solution:

Part 1:

Let's Sort out the data given:

Monthly Cost Fixed = $240,000

Fixed Cost unavoidable = 40% x 240,000

Fixed Cost unavoidable = $96,000

Now,

Avoidable Fixed Cost will be = $240,000 - $96,000

Avoidable Fixed Cost will be = $144,000

It means that, if the industries obtain products from the outside supplier, it will save or avoid fixed cost of $144,000 per month.

Now, we also given that,

Variable Production Cost = $16 per unit

Purchase Price per unit (Outsider) = $18 per unit

Increment in Price per unit = $18 - $16 = $2

Hence,

It will cost the industry an extra of $2 per unit.

Now, we can calculate the required monthly usage at which it will be indifferent between purchasing and making part MR24.

Break Even Monthly Usage = Avoidable Fixed Cost/ Incremental Price per unit.

Break Even Monthly Usage = $144,000/$2

Break Even Monthly Usage = 72000 units.

Hence, Monthly usage at which it will be indifferent between purchasing and making part MR24 = 72000 units.

Part 2:

Monthly usage as given = 48000 units on which it can avoid the fixed cost of $144,000

Avoidable Monthly fixed cost = $144,000

So, now, we can calculate the avoidable fixed cost per unit as well.

Avoidable Fixed Cost Per unit = $144,000/48000

Avoidable Fixed Cost Per unit = $3

We also know,

Variable Production cost per unit = $16

Avoidable Fixed cost per unit = $3

So, we can see the maximum purchase price in order to avoid monthly fixed cost.

Maximum Purchase price per unit = $16 + $3 =$19

It means, $19 is the maximum purchase price, if the industry is approaching the outsider for the monthly usage of 48000 units. It will benefit if the price is less than $19.

16 quarters 317209

17 quarters 322284

18 quarters 327441

19 quarters 332680

20 quarters 338003

11% = (1 + i/4)⁴

i = 0.106

quarterly interest = 2.65%

Now we need to determine the present value of this annuity and our discount rate is 2.65%. I will use an excel spreadsheet to determine the present value of the 20 quarterly payments and then add the initial payment.

$4,425,417 + $800,000 = $5,225,417

Classify each of the following based on the macroeconomic definitions of saving and investment:1. Saving Investment Kyoko borrow

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer

The classification is shown below:

Explanation:

The saving refers to the amount i.e above its consumption expenditure let us take an example if an individual salary is $100,000 and its expenditure assumes $50,000 then it saves $50,000 so the $50,000 is the savings. While the investment is the amount that is spent to buy some assets in terms of building, machinery, home, etc.

So the classification is presented below:

a. Kyoko borrows money to build a new lab for her engineering firm. = Investment

b. Rina purchases stock in Nano Speck, a biotech firm. = saving

c. Musashi takes out a mortgage for a new home in Detroit. = investment

d.Jacques purchases a corporate bond issued by a car company. = saving
