Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Two different manufacturing processes are being considered for making a new product. The first process is less capital-intensive, with fixed costs of only $49,700 per year and variable costs of $740 per unit. The second process has fixed costs of $391,000 but variable costs of only $160 per unit. a. What is the break-even quantity, beyond which the second process becomes more attractive than the first? the volume at which the second process becomes more attractive is ..... units

answer :  At ≥ 589 units the second process becomes more attractive

Explanation:

A) Determine the breakeven quantity that makes the second process more attractive

the second process has a higher fixed cost of $391000

x = volume of sales that makes process 1 as profitable as process 2

sales = fixed cost + Total variable cost

profit = (( selling price ) * X ) - (variable cost * X ) - fixed cost

<em>Assuming the profit made from process 1 = process 2 </em>

((selling price * X ) - ( variable cost of process 1 * X ) - fixed cost of process 1 =((selling price * X ) - ( variable cost of process 2 * X ) - fixed cost of process 2

hence ;

x = ( fixed cost of process 2 - fixed cost of process 1  ) / ((variable cost of process 1) - (variable cost of process 2 ))

   = ( 391000 - 49700 ) / ( 740 - 160 )

   = 588.44 units ≈ 588 units ( both process will yield same profitability

At ≥ 589 units the second process becomes more attractive

Cr Bond Payable $199,000

Workings:

Value assigned to bonds=179,100/($179,100+$23,880)

*$200,900

Value assigned to bonds=179,100/$202,980

*$200,900

Value assigned to bonds=$177,265

Value assigned to warrants=$23,880/$202,980*$200,900

Value assigned to warrants=$23,605

Hamilton company uses a periodic inventory system, at the end of the annuanl accounting period, December 31,2015, the accounting
n200080 [17]

Answer:

FIFO : Ending Inventory = $6,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $36,000

LIFO : Ending Inventory = $36,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $28,000

Weighted Average Cost Method : Ending Inventory = $10,500, Cost of Goods Sold = $31,500

Explanation:

<u>FIFO</u>

Assumes that the first goods received by business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.

Ending Inventory

Ending Inventory = Units left × Earliest Price

                             = 3000 units × $2

                             = $6,000

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold : 2000 units × $5 =  $10,000

                                  6000 units × $4 = $24,000

                                  1000 units  × $2 =   $2,000

                                 Total                    =  $36,000

<u>LIFO</u>

Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.

Ending Inventory

Ending Inventory      2000 units × $5 =  $10,000

                                  6000 units × $4 = $24,000

                                  1000 units  × $2 =   $2,000

                                 Total                    =  $36,000

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold : 4000 units × $2 =  $8,000

                                  5000 units × $4 = $20,000

                                  Total                   =  $28,000

<u>Weighted Average Cost Method</u>

The average cost of goods held is recalculated each time a new delivery of goods is received Issues are then priced out at this weighted average cost.

First Calculate the Average Cost

Average Cost = Total Cost / Total Units

                       = (2000 × $5 + 6000 × $4 + 4000 × $2) / 12,000

                       = $42,000 / 12,000

                       = $3.50

Ending Inventory

Ending Inventory = Units left × Average Price

                             = 3000 units × $3.50

                             = $10,500

Cost of goods sold

Ending Inventory = Units Sold × Average Price

                             = 9,000 units × $3.50

                             = $31,500

Suppose you borrowed $37,000 at a rate of 9.0% and must repay it in 4 equal installments at the end of each of the next 4 years.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

C = 11,420.7405

Explanation:

Loan for 37,000 at 9% in four annual payment

We have to calculate the cuota of an annuity

C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time}}{rate} = PV\\

where rate = 0.09

time = 4

and present value is the 37,000 we receive today

C \times \frac{1-(1+0.09)^{-4}}{0.09} = 37,000\\\\\frac{37,000}{3.239719877} = C

C = 11,420.7405
