Answer: $11.17

Explanation:

Number of phones sold = 30000

Sales price = $15 per unit

We than calculate the total contribution required which will be:

= Total Fixed Cost + profit required

= $65000 + $50000

= $115,000

To calculate the variable cost per unit goes thus:

Number of phones sold = (Total Contribution Required)/(Sale Price - Variable cost per unit)

30000 = 115000/(15 - Variable cost per unit)

(15 - Variable cost per unit) = 115000/30000

(15 - Variable cost per unit) = 3.83

Variable cost per unit = 15 - 3.83 = 11.17

Variable cost per unit = $11.17

Solution:

Answer for 1. and 2. :

Particulars                Assets     liabilities  owner's equity

Beginning capital           29000            16000            13000

Ending capital           63000            29000           34000

3. Beginning capital     13000

    add new stock              5500

      Add : Income                 ?

          Sub total                 ?

      Less: Dividend      36700

     Closing Capital      34000

By inserting the last two numbers of the sentence you will determine the "Subtotal." : 36700+34000 = 70700

We learn from the top of the document that the equity of the investor at the outset was $13,000 and the shareholding of $5500 was released. Therefore, when calculating net income, we have $18,500.

Now , Net income =70700-18500=$ 52,200

4. Closing Capital+Dividend =Common stock +net income

                                                =34000+8100

                                               =Common stock +1000

Then common stock = $ 41,100

5. Closing Capital + Dividend = Opening capital +Common stock issued +net income

34000+dividend =13000+16700+18000  

Dividend = $13700

6. Closing Capital + Dividend = Opening capital +Common stock issued +net income

=34000+1600 =13000+41100+ net income or loss

Net loss=$ 18500

Expanded accounting Equation for a corporation is :

Assets = Liabilities + Paid-in Capital + Revenues – Expenses – Dividends – Treasury Stock

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$32,000

Explanation:

Net advantage = Annual operating cost

Net advantage = [(Old machine - New machine)*10 life] - New machine cost + Old machine cost

Net advantage = [($320000 - $240000)*10] - $800000 + $32000

Net advantage = [($80000)*10 - $768,000

Net advantage = $800,000 - $768,000

Net advantage = $32,000

So, the net advantage of replacing the old machine is $32,000
