Answer:

For Capital Incentive manufacturing method = 26,623 Units

For Labor Incentive manufacturing method = 10,714 Units

Explanation:

We are asked to find out the annual break - even point in units if Sharpie uses the Capital Intensive Method and Labour intensive Method.

Solution:

1. For Capital Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 10

Direct Labor  = 4

Variable MOH  = 5

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 23  

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 77

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 1800000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 2050000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 26623

2. For Labor Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 12

Direct Labor  = 12

Variable MOH  = 2

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 30

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 70

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 500000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 750000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 10714

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

$8,770.00

Explanation:

In this question we use the present value formula i.e shown in the attachment below:

Data provided in the question

Future value = $0

Rate of interest = 0.48%

NPER = 4 years × 12 months = 48 months

PMT = $205

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the answer would be $8,770.00

Eastern Electric currently pays a dividend of about $1.64 per share and sells for $27 a share.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a. 9.07%

b. 5.93%

c. 12.07%

Explanation:

Dividend valuation method is used to calculate the the value of stock based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return.

Stock Price = Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )

a.

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 3% )

Rate of return - 0.03 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.03 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.03

Rate of return = 0.0907 = 9.07%

b.

$27 = $1.64 / ( 12% - Growth rate )

0.12 - Growth rate = $1.64 / $27

0.12 - Growth rate = 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.12 - 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.0593 = 5.93%

c.

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 6% )

Rate of return - 0.06 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.06 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.06

Rate of return = 0.1207 = 12.07%

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$41,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine The current-year's income tax expense amount

First step is to calculate the current tax expense

Current tax expense=$120,000 taxable income × 35% tax rate

Current tax expense=$42,000

Second step is to calculate the deferred income tax liability increased

Deferred income tax liability=$55,000-$50,000

Deferred income tax liability=$5,000

Third step is to calculate the deferred income tax asset increased

Deferred income tax asset=$16,000-$10,000

Deferred income tax asset=$6,000

Now let calculate the current year's income tax expense

Current year's income tax expense = $42,000 + $5,000 - $6,000

Current year's income tax expense=$41,000

Therefore Current year's income tax expense is $41,000
