Answer:

187,500 units.

Explanation:

Fixed cost= $750,000

Variable cost= $2

Price= $6

To calculate the break-even quantity, we use the formula

Break even= Fixed cost ÷ (Price - Variable cost)

Let's input the values of each

$750,000/($6 - $2)

= $750, 000/ $4

= 187,500 units.

Therefore the break even is 187,500 units.

Precision Tool is trying to decide whether to lease or buy some new equipment for its tool and die operations. The equipment cos
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$4,200

Explanation:

Cost of equipment = $52,000

Life of equipment = 3 years

Depreciation through straight line method = 52,000/3 = $17,333

Tax rate = 33%

Pretax cost of debt = 10%

Lease amount of equipment = $18,500

After tax cost of debt = 10%*(1-0.33)

After tax cost of debt = 10%*(0.67)

After tax cost of debt = 0.067

After tax cost of debt = 6.7%

After tax lease payment amount = 18,500*(1-0.33)

After tax lease payment amount = 18,500*0.67

After tax lease payment amount = 12,395

Present Value of 3 lease payment = 12,395/(1+0.067) + 12,395/(1+0.067)^2 + 12,395/(1+0.067)^3

Present Value of 3 lease payment = 12395/1.067 + 12395/1.1385 + 12395/1.2148

Present Value of 3 lease payment = 11616.68 + 10887.13 + 10203.33

Present Value of 3 lease payment = $32,707.14

Present Value of cost involved in purchasing the equipment is $52,000, however there will be a tax shield from depreciation therefore, this amount would reduce the company's cost.

Annual depreciation tax shield = 17,333*0.33 = $5719.89. There will be tax shield on depreciation for 3 years. Therefore, present value of $5719.89 is calculated for three years:

= $5719.89/(1+0.067) + $5719.89/(1+0.067)^2 + $5719.89/(1+0.067)^3

= $5719.89/1.067 + $5719.89/1.1385 + $5719.89/1.2148

= $5360.72 + $5024.06 + $4708.50

= $15,093.28

Present Value of the cost of buying the equipment = $52,000 - $15,093.28 = $36,906.72

Net Advantage Leasing = Present Value of the cost of buying the equipment - Present Value of 3 lease payment

Net Advantage Leasing = $36,906.72 - $32,707.14

Net Advantage Leasing = $4,199.58

Net Advantage Leasing = $4,200.

A company will buy 1000 units of a certain commodity in one year. It decides to hedge 80% of its exposure using futures contract
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$96 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the average price paid for the commodity is shown below:

Average price = Total cost ÷ Total number of units

where,

Total cost = Total number of units buyed × spot rate - hedge fund

where,

Hedge fund is

= 1,000 × 80% × ($110 - $90)

= $16,000

So, the total cost is

= 1,000 units × $112 - $16,000

= $96,000

Now the average price is

= $96,000 ÷ 1,000 units

= $96 per unit

The following transactions occur for the Hamilton Manufacturers.
Radda [10]

Answer:

The answer is stated below:

Explanation:

The accounting equation is as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

Analyzing the transactions:

1. The service is provided to customer on account, which result in increase in assets and the stockholders' equity

So,

Assets        =   Liabilities        +  Stockholders' equity

+ $4,000    = $0                     +  +$4,000

2. The equipment is purchased by signing a note, which result in increase in liability and also increase in the assets.

So,

Assets        =   Liabilities        +  Stockholders' equity

+ $10,500  =   +$10,500         + $0

3. Paid for the advertising, which result in decrease in cash as well as decrease in the equity of the company.

So,

Assets        =   Liabilities        +  Stockholders' equity

- $1,200    = $0                        +  -$1,200
