wolverine [178]

Answer:

Paula should purchase car B.

Explanation:

If Paula purchases car A, then her total payments will be $22,000 ($458.33 per month).

If instead she purchases car B, she will need to finance $20,200 for 3 years and her monthly payments will be $447.11. Total payments = $447.11 x 48 = $21,461.28.

this is an ordinary annuity and in order to calculate the monthly payment you must:

monthly payment = principal / annuity factor (PV, 0.25%, 48 periods) = $20,200 / 45.17869 = $447.1134511 = $447.11.

Answer:

Operating Income = $100,000

Explanation:

1 a. What is the current annual operating income?

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.3 = 1,500,000

Contribution = 1,000,000 (margin = 1m/2.5m = 40%)

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = $100,000

b. What is the present break even point in revenues?

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 900,000/0.4 = $2,250,000

2. A $0.04 per unit increase in variable costs

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.34 = 1,700,000

Contribution = 800,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = ($100,000)

3. A 10% increase in fixed costs and a 10% increase in units sold

Revenue - 5,500,000* $0.5 = 2,750,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,500,000*$0.3 = 1,650,000

Contribution = 1,100,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$990.000

Operating Income = $110,000

4. A 20% decrease in fixed costs, a 20% decrease in selling price, a 10% decrease in variable cost per unit and a 40% increase inunits sold.

Revenue - 7,000,000* $0.4 = 2,800,000

Less: Variable Costs - 7,000,000*$0.27 = 1,890,000

Contribution = 910,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$720.000

Operating Income = $190,000

5.Compute the new breakeven point in units for each of the following changes: A 10% increase in fixed costs

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 810,000/0.4 = $2,025,000

6. A 10% increase in selling price and a $20,000 increase in fixed costs

Revised Contribution Margin = 0.55 - 0.3 = 0.25; 0.25/0.55 = 0.4545

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 1080,000/0.4545 = $2,376,238
