Answer:

1. The present yearly net operating loss is $65,700

2. Break even point in unit sales is 27,690 units, in dollars sales $2,575,170.00

3. The maximum annual profit that the company can earn is $23,300, at 30,500 units with a selling price per unit of $91

Explanation:

At breakeven point, the cost and revenue of the company are same such that the company neither a profit nor a loss. Operating profit or loss is the difference between the revenue and the cost of the company.

The cost of the company usually consist of the fixed and variable elements.

Given that the company’s present selling price is $93 per unit, and variable expenses are $63 per unit. Fixed expenses are $830,700 per year with present annual sales volume (at the $93 selling price) is 25,500 units

Hence the operating profit or (loss)

= $93 * 25,500 - ($63 * 25,500 + $830,700)

= $765,000 - $830,700

= ($65,700)

A loss of $65,700

Break even point in unit sales = Fixed costs / (Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit)

= $830,700 / ($93 - $63)

= $830,700 / $30

= 27,690 units

In dollar sales

= $93 * 27,690

= $2,575,170.00

if the marketing studies are correct then the new selling price per unit will be

= $93 - $2

= $91

The units sold will be

= 5000 +  25,500

= 30,500 units

The maximum profit to be made

= $91 * 30,500 - ($63 * 30,500 + $830,700)

= $854,000 - $830,700

= $23,300

Answer:

Gross Profit Margin: 53 % and 54%

Inventory days outstanding: 249 days and 252 days.

Explanation:

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales * 100

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

Gross Profit :

Year 1 : 10,498,448 - 4,860,309 = 5,638,139

Year 2 : 8,277,782 - 3,804,031 = 4,473,751

GP margin :

Year 1 = 53%

Year 2 = 54%

Days of inventory :  Average inventory / Cost of Sales * 365 days

Year 1 : 3,320,864 / 4,860,309  * 365 = 249 days

Year 2 : 2,632,898 / 3,804,031 *365 = 252 days

5) A car rental company offers two plans for one way rentals. Plan I charges $36 per day and 17 cents per mile. Plan II charges
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. Plan I is better is we drive 300 miles in a day.

b. 150 miles.

Explanation:

a. if mileage is 300 then rental charges will be,

Plan I : $36 + 17 cents * miles

$36 + 0.17 * 300 = $41.10.

Plan II : $24 + 25 cents * miles

$24 + 0.25 * 300 = $99.00

Plan I total cost for 300 miles is $41.10 whereas Plan II total cost for 300 miles is $99.00. Plan I is better plan and cost effective.

b. For mileage (m) calculation we will use equation;

Plan I = Plan II

$36 + 0.17m = $24 +0.25m

0.25m - 0.17m = $36 - $24

m = $12 / 0.08

m = 150 miles.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is  $10,200.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is , we have to make the following calculations.

First, we have to calculate the Annual preferred dividend = (2800*50*6.5%) = $9,100

Hence, First year preferred dividend = $9,100-$8,000 = $1,100

Finally, if we make $1,100+$9,100 = $10,200 and so this will be the cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders.
