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

ratelena [41]

Answer:

10.52%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual financing cost is shown below:

First we have to calculate the interest cost that is shown below:

= $997.26

Now the used funds is

= $20,000 - $997.26

= $19,003

Now the annual financing cost is

= ($997 ÷ $19,003) × (365 days ÷ 182 days)

= 10.52%

We assume there are 365 days in a year
