Answer:
4,513 approx.
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum number of jars of silver polish is shown below:-
Sales revenue for one jar of silver polish $5.60
Sales revenue for 1/4 pound of Grit 337 0.85
($3.40 × 1 ÷ 4)
Incremental revenue from
further processing $4.75
($5.60 - 0.85)
Incremental costs of further processing:
Processing costs $2.40
Selling costs $0.40 $2.80
Incremental contribution
margin from further
processing into silver polish
per jar $1.95
($4.75 - $2.80)
Point of indifference denotes the point where all options are equally profitable. But after that we will see that more processing is profitable. This is due to the fixed costs involved in further production.
Thus Minimum number of jars needed to produce to justify the further processing = Avoidable Fixed cost ÷ Incremental contribution
= $8,800 ÷ $1.95
= 4,513 approx.
Alcohol proof is a measure how much of alcohol ( or ethanol ) is contained in a beer ( same as wine, whiskey, etc ). In the US, alcoholic proof is defined as twice the percentage ( in the UK percentage times 1.75 ).Therefore: 5 * 2 = 10 ( or: 5 * 1.75 = 8.75 ).Answer: It would have a proof of 10.
Answer:
weighted cost of capital for next year is 10.27 %.
Explanation:
Weighted cost of capital = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V)
Ke = Cost of Equity
= Dividend Yield + Expected growth rate
= $1.30 / $30.00 + 0.07
= 0.11333 or 11.33 %
Kd = Cost of Debt
= Interest × (1 - tax rate)
= 11% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 8.69 %
Weighted cost of capital = 11.33 % × 60% + 8.69 % × 40%
= 10.27 %

Explanation:
Answer: a.$275,000
Explanation:
Let us assume local production sales of 0 for simplicity of analysis.
At 0 there will be no Variable Costs and no fixed costs because they are dependant on the amount of units produced.
If then Rylan Corporation receives 25,000 units at $16 per unit this will change the Variable costs as it will have to incorporate the new units.
The question however says that normal production continues. This means that Fixed costs do not change. That means fixed costs remain at $0.
That means the only change will be the Variable costs of selling 25,000 units.
At a rate of $11 per unit we then have,
= 11 * 25,000
= $275,000
The costs have increased by $275,000 from 0 which means that $275,000 is the Incremental cost.
Note that Fixed and Variable costs of 0 are improbable and we're only used for simpler analysis. Feel free to try the question with other number of units for your own practice. You will arrive at the same answer regardless.
