<span>Decrease by $57,400 per month.
Looks look at the cash flow for continuing to produce product a and discontinuing product a.
Continuing to produce
Income = 15900 * $29 = $461,100
Variable Expenses = 15900 * 23 = $365,700
Fixed overhead = $109,000
Total cash flow = $461,100 - $365,700 - $109,000 = -$13,600
So the Lusk company is losing $13,600 per month while producing product a. Let's see what happens if they stop producing it.
Income = $0
Variable Expenses = $0
Fixed overhead = $71,000
Total cash flow = $0 - $71,000 = -$71,000
So if they stop producing it, their fixed overhead decreases, but is still at $71,000 per month, for a total loss per month of $71,000.
The conclusion is to either lose $13,600 per month, or $71,000 per month. So if they stop production of product a, their loss per month will increase by $57,400.</span>

Answer:
b. 51,429 units
Explanation:
If x = Number of units
Net Income = Sales Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost
or
Net Income = Contribution Margin - Fixed Cost
where,
Net Income = $80,000
Contribution Margin per unit = $3.50
Fixed Cost = $100,000
Contribution Margin = Net Income + Fixed Cost
$3.50x = $80,000 + $100,000
$3.50x = $180,000
Dividing the above equation by $3.50 we get
x = $180,000 / $3.50
x = 51,429 units
Hence 51,429 number of units must be sold to generate the net income of $80,000.

Answer:
E. have a sinking fund provision
Explanation:
Callable bonds are the one wherein the issuer/borrower has an option to redeem the bonds anytime after an initial stipulated period. In case of such bonds, if the issuer decides to redeem the bonds, the holders have to accept the redemption value.
Usually, when market rate of interest on such bonds falls below the coupon rate of such bonds, the issuer redeems such bonds. Thus, such bonds are beneficial to the issuer.
Call protection refers to the period within which such bonds cannot be called or redeemed.
Sinking fund provision refers to transferring a portion of money during the duration of such callable bonds to a separate reserve known as sinking fund, which is created for the purpose of redemption of funds. So when such bonds are to be called, the total money transferred to sinking fund reserve would be raised and used for payment to bondholders.
Creation of such a reserve helps the issuer avoid the pressure of lump sum payment as periodically funds are set aside for the purpose of redemption.
