He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $38,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Hubert does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $48,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $38,000 per year rate.

Answer:

Explicit costs are normal costs of operating a business.

Implicit costs are opportunity costs meaning that they are the benefits foregone by engaging in a certain course of action.

The wholesale cost for the pianos that Hubert pays the manufacturer ⇒ EXPLICIT COST.

The salary Hubert could earn if he worked as an accountant ⇒ IMPLICIT COST.

The wages and utility bills that Hubert pays ⇒ EXPLICIT COST

The rental income Hubert could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom. ⇒ IMPLICIT COSTS

Accounting Profit = Revenue - Explicit costs

= 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000

= $89,000

Economic Profit = Revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs

= 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 - 38,000 - 48,000

= $3,000

If Hubert's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he <u>should</u> stay in the piano business because the economic profit he would earn as an accountant would be -$3,000.

<em>Economic profit as accountant = Salary + rental income - accounting profit from piano</em>

<em>= 48,000 + 38,000 - 89,000</em>

<em>= -$3,000</em>

Brut [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

1. Unit rate lease

Unit Contribution margin = Unit Selling price – Unit Variable cost

= 40 - 24 =  $16

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= 200,000/16  = 12,500

2. Flat rate lease

Unit Contribution margin = Unit Selling price – Unit Variable cost

= 40 - 20  = $20

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= 260,000/20  = 13,000

b.)

Let at X units produced profit margin is same under both the lease options

40X - 24X - 200,000 = 40X - 20X - 260,000

16X - 200,000 = 20X - 260,000

4X = 60,000

X = 15,000

If 15,000 units are produced, profit margin will be same under both the lease options.

c)

1. Unit rate lease

Contribution margin income statement

Sales (20,000 x 40)  800,000

Variable cost (20,000 x 24)  - 480,000

Contribution margin  320,000

Fixed cost  - 200,000

Operating income  120,000

Operating leverage = Contribution margin/Operating income

= 320,000/120,000  = 2.67

2. Flat rate lease

Contribution margin income statement

Sales (20,000 x 40)  800,000

Variable cost (20,000 x 20)  - 400,000

Contribution margin  400,000

Fixed cost  - 260,000

Operating income  140,000

Operating leverage = Contribution margin/Operating income

= 400,000/140,000  = 2.86

d)

1. Unit rate lease

Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break even sales

= 20,000 x 40 - 12,500 x 40

= 800,000 - 500,000

= $300,000

Margin of safety (%) = Margin of safety/Actual sales

= 300,000/800,000  = 37.5%

2. Flat rate lease

Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break even sales

= 20,000 x 40 - 13,000 x 40

= 800,000 - 520,000

= $280,000

Margin of safety (%) = Margin of safety/Actual sales

= 280,000/800,000  

= 35%

nalin [4]

Answer:

Initial outlay = $60,000

Annual net income before tax = $7,200 per annum

Depreciation = <u>Cost - Residual value</u>

                        Estimated useful life

                      = <u>$60,000 - 0</u>

                           12 years

                     = $5,000 per annum

Annual net cashflow before tax

= Annual net income before tax + Depreciation

= $7,200 + $5,000

= $12,200

Explanation:

In this case, the annual net income before tax has been given. The annual net income before tax has excluded depreciation, which does not involve movement of cash. Therefore, we need to add back depreciation in order to obtain the expected before tax cashflow.

Assumes ABC Company had 50 units in beginning Finished Goods Inventory and sold 1,213 units. Additional data includes: Units pro
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Dollar amount of ending Finished Goods Inventory = $1,073

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the cost per unit.

Using absorption costing, the cost of one unit is  

Cost per unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit.

Cost = 12 + 8 +2 + 7\\Cost = 29

Now, the number of units left in inventory should be defined

Finished Goods Inventory (FGI) =  Beginning Finished Goods Inventory + Units produced - units sold

FGI = 50 +1200 - 1213\\FGI = 37

The dollar amount of ending Finished Goods Inventory is FGI multiplied by the cost per unit.

37*29 = 1,073
