Answer:

a) the break-even point in unit= 50, 000 units

b.) the break-even point in dollars = $50,000

Explanation:

The break even point in units is the minimum units of the product that the company should sell in order for it to make no profit or loss.  

At this units of sales, the sales revenue would produce a total contribution exactly equal to the fixed cost.

Break -even point in unit = General fixed cost/price  - variable cost

= 14,000 + 6000/(1-0.6)= 50,000  units

Break -even point (sales revenue) =General fixed cost/contribution sales ratio

Contribution sales ratio-= 1-0.6/1× 100= 40%

Break-even sales revenue= 14,000 + 6000/40%=$50,000

a) For Smithson Cutting, the break-even point in unit= 50, 000 units

b) For Smithson Cutting, the break-even point in dollars = $50,000

Profit before decision

Profit = (sales price - variable cost)× units - Fixed cost

= (1-0.5)×30000 - 14,000 = $1000

Profit after = 1- 0.60× 50,000 - 20,000= $0

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The amount to be paid for the contract today = $220,908.32

Explanation:

<em>The amount to be paid for the contract today will be equal to the present value of the annuity of $22,500 payable for 20 years discounted at a rate of 8% per annum.</em>

Present Value = A ×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 22,500, r- rate of return - 8%, n -no of years 20 years

PV = 22,500 ×( 1-(1.08)^(-20) )/ 0.08

PV = 22,500 ×9.8181

PV = $220,908.32

The amount to be paid for the contract today = $220,908.32
