Answer:

c. It will increase.

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity at which a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break - even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit </em>

therefore,

<u>Existing break-even point in units :</u>

Break - even units = $16,000 ÷ ($40 - $18) = 727.27 or 728 units

<u>New break-even point in units :</u>

Break - even units = $21,000 ÷ ($40 - $16) = 875 units

Conclusion :

The results show that break-even point in units will increase from 728 units to  875 units as a result of the changes

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The cost per unit for product B is<em> $ 15 per unit</em>

Explanation:

Only Manufacturing Costs are used in Product Costing. Thus to find the Cost Per Unit of Product B, we Prepare a Manufacturing Cost Summary for Product B.

<u>Step 1 Prepare a Manufacturing Cost Summary for Product B</u>

Direct materials                                                                      $ 15,000

Direct labor                                                                             $24,000

Overhead costs($24,000/$36,000) × $54,000                   $36,000

Total Cost for Product B                                                        $75,000

<u>Step 2 Calculate the Cost Per Unit for Product B</u>

Cost Per Unit = Total Cost / Number of Units Produced

                       =  $75,000 / 5,000 units

                       = $ 15 per unit

Giving the following information:

Estimated the machine-hours= 45,900

The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $7.53 per machine-hour.

The estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,290,708.

<u>To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (1,290,708/45,900) + 7.53

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $35.65 per machine hour

The roots of today's anthropology emerged from very early accounts of travelers in previous centuries. what about these accounts
NISA [10]
Early accounts of ethnic groups and their cultures and habits came from scientific travelers like George M. Dawson who became director of the Geological Survey of Canada. In his travels in Canada to explore its mineral potential, he encountered many native groups who he described and also wrote of their languages so this is an example of how early travelers laid the foundation for the studies of later anthropologists.

The money demand function for an economy is given by (M/P)d = (0.6Y)/(i1/2). If output is 1,000 units, the nominal interest rate
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

$0.6

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate (i) = 9% = 0.09

Output (Y) = 1,000

Money supply(M) = 1,200

==> (M/P)^d = (0.6Y) / i^(1/2)

==> 1200/P = 0.6*1000 / 0.09^(1/2)

==> 1200/P = 600 / 0.3

==> 1200/P = 2000

==> 1200 = 2000 * P

==> P = 1200/2000

==> P = $0.6

Therefore, the price level is $0.6
