The company’s fixed expenses are $388,800 per year. The company plans to sell 28,600 units this year. Required: 1. What are the variable expenses per unit? (Round your "per unit" answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. What is the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 3. What amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $226,800 per year? 4. Assume that by using a more efficient shipper, the company is able to reduce its variable expenses by $5.40 per unit. What is the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:</u>

Unitary variable cost= (1 - Contribution margin ratio)*selling price

Unitary variable cost= 0.70*54

Unitary variable cost= $37.8

<u>Now, the break-even point in units and dollar</u>s:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 388,800 / (54 - 37.8)

Break-even point in units= 24,000

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 388,800 / 0.3

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,296,000

<u>If the desired profit is $226,800; the following formula is required:</u>

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (338,800 + 226,800) / 16.2

Break-even point in units= 34,914

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 565,600 / 0.3

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,885,333

<u>Finally, if the variable cost per unit decreases by $5.4:</u>

Unitary variable cost= $32.4

Break-even point in units= 388,800 / (54 - 32.4)

Break-even point in units= 18,000

Contribution margin ratio= unitary CM / Selling price

Contribution margin ratio= 21.6/54= 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 388,800 / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= 972,000

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)=  (388,800 + 226,800) / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,539,000

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Goals are what one plan to achieve within a specified period of time. Goal could be short term , usually one year or long term goal, which is more than a year. People that want to succeed must set goals because setting goal gives direction.

You can invest in an account that pays simple interest or an account that pays compound interest. In either case, you plan to in
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

You will receive $201.38 more interest if the investment is made with a compound interest rate rather than a simple interest rate.

Explanation:

<u>Simple interest rate</u>

We can calculate how much interests you'd obtain if you deposited the $2,600 in a simple interest rate account.

We start using the following formula for calculating the simple interests:

I=P * r

Where:

<em>I</em> are the interests per year,

<em>P</em> is the amount being invested,

<em>r</em> is the interest rate.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

I=2600*0.05=130

We then proceed to multiply this result by the <em>given number of years</em>, which is 8. We get 130*8=1040.

Finishing with the <em>simple interest rate</em>, if we wanted to know how much is the investment worth at the end of a 8 year period, we must merely add <em>the principal</em> (the $2,600) to the total interests after the end of the period ($1040). So 2600+1040= 3640.

We'll use these results later.

<u>Compound interest rate</u>

The formula for compound interests is the following:

I=P(1+r)^n

Where:

<em>I</em> is the value of the investment after <em>n</em> years,

<em>P</em> is the principal amount being invested,

<em>r</em> is the interest rate,

<em>n</em> are the number of years the investment is compounded.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

I=2600*(1+0.05)^8=3841.38

After the 8 year period, the investor will have $3841.38 in it's compounded interest account.

<u>Comparing these results</u>

<u></u>

We can simply substract the value of both investments at the end of a 8 year period, to determine how much more interest does the compound interest rate account give in relation to a simple interest rate account.

The values we've gotten were:

$3,640 for the simple interest rate account, and

$3,841.38 for the compounded interest rate account.

3841.38-3640=201.38. Therefore the answer is: the account that pays compounded interests will pay $201.38 more to this invididual, compared to an account that pays simple interest.
