403,400, variable costs per unit of $123.60, a sales price per unit of $249, a discount rate of 14 percent, and a tax rate of 21 percent. What is the present value break-even point in units per year

Answer:

5375

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Fixed assets costing = $962000

Annual fixed costs = $403400

Variable cost per unit = $123.60

Sales price per unit = $249.00

Discount rate = 14%

Tax rate = 21%

The contribution per unit = Sales price - Variable cost

= $(249.00 - 123.60)

= $125.40

The present value break-even point(BEP) is the region of sales level where the net present value (NPV) equals zero.

Assuming that the sales level = p

i.e.

NPV = PV(of inflows - of outflows)

Inflows = (p * contribution per unit - annual fixed cost)( 1- tax rate) + depreciation * tax rate

= (p * 125.4 - 403400) ( 1 - 0.21) + depreciation * tax rate

where;

depreciation = initial fixed assest cost/ lifetime of the project

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (962000/6)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (160333.33)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670

Now, the PV of the inflows =PV factor(6 years, 14%) * inflows

= inflows * \dfrac{( 1-(1.14)^{-6})}{0.14}

= inflows * 3.8887

Replacing the value for inflows, we have:

=((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887

The PV of the outflows = Initial Fixed asset cost = $962000

∴

Equating both together using:

PV(of inflows - of outflows) = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 - 962000 = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 =  962000

(99.066p - 318686 + 33670) * 3.8887 =  962000

(99.066p - 285016) * 3.8887 =  962000

385.24p - 1108341.72 = 962000

385.24p= 962000 + 1108341.72

385.24p= 2070341.72

p = 2070341.72 / 385.24

p ≅ 5375

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A) Offering 1/2 price discounts through Costco.

Explanation:

Probably the most commonly used and most effective sales promotion is to offer a discount to your products or services. Everyone loves the idea of paying less for a product they need or want. But there is a catch with this type of activity, you shouldn't do it very often. If discounts are offered on a regular basis, then customers will tend to purchase the product only when a discount is available.

Pinkie Print​ Supplies, Inc., sells laser printers and supplies. Assume Pinkie started the year with 100 containers of ink​ (ave
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Instructios are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Assume Pinkie started the year with 100 containers of ink​ (average cost of $ 9.10 ​each, FIFO cost of $ 8.60 ​each, LIFO cost of $ 8.00 ​each).

During the​ year, the company purchased 800 containers of ink at $10.00 and sold 600 units for $21.75 each. Pinkie paid operating expenses throughout the​ year, a total of $ 5,000.

FIFO:

Sales= 600*21.75= 13,050

COGS= (100*8.60 + 500*10)= 5860

Gross profit= 7190

Operating expense= 5000

Net operating profit= $2,190

LIFO:

Sales= 13,050

COGS= (600*10)= 6000

Gross profit= 7,050

Operating expense= 5000

Net operating profit= $2,050

Average-cost

Sales= 13,050

COGS= [(9.10+10)/2]*600= 5730

Gross profit= 7,320

Operating expense= 5000

Net operating profit= $2,320

S buys a $50,000 whole life policy with a 50,000 accidental death and dismemberment rider. S dies 1 year later of natural causes
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Insurer pay the beneficiary = $50,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount of the policy bought by the S = $50,000

Accidental death cover = 50,000

Now,

When the S dies the insurer will pay the beneficiary the total amount for which is covered under the accidental cover i.e equal to the amount 50,000

hence,

Insurer pay the beneficiary = $50,000

In 1924, the famous novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post entitled ?How to live on $36,000
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$4,267,059

Explanation:

to determine the equivalent amount of money between 1924 and 2008, we must divide the 2008 CPI by the 1924 CPI, and then multiply by $36,000:

= (2015 / 17) x $36,000 = 118.53 x $36,000 = $4,267,059

The consumer price index measures the weighted price of basket of goods . It is useful for calculating inflation and comparing how the purchasing value of the US dollar has decreased in time. Basically what this shows us, is that $1 in 1924 would purchase the same amount of goods as $118.53 in 2008.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

A. Income statement $8.4 million

B. Balance sheet million $35.4 million

C. Operating cash flow million $1 million

Investing cash flow million=$28 million

Explanation:

a. Calculation for Income statement million

Using this formula

Income statement=Investment revenue -Patent amortization adjustment

Let plug in the formula

Income statement= ($54 million × 1/6)-([$36 million] × 1/6]÷10 years)

Income statement=$ 9.0-$0.6

Income statement=$8.4 million

Therefore Income statement million will be $8.4 million

b. Preparation of the Balance sheet million

Cost $28 million

Add Investment revenue $9.0 million

($54 million × 1/6)

Less Dividend ($1 million)

($6 million × 1/6)

Less Patent amortization adjustment ($0.6 million)

([$36 million] × 1/6]÷10 years)

Balance sheet million $35.4 million

($28 million+$9.0 million-$1 million-$0.6 million)

Therefore Balance sheet million will be $35.4 million

c. Preparation of the Statement of cash flows

Operating cash flow million=($6 million × 1/6)

Operating cash flow million= $1 million

Investing cash flow million=$28 million

Therefore Operating cash flow million will be $1 million while the Investing cash flow million will be $28 million.
