dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Part a. What is the variable cost per unit?

Variable Cost per Unit is $ 11.13+ $ 7.29 = $18.42

Part b. What are the total costs for the year?

Production for the year is 190000 units

Calculation of Total Production = Variable costs + Fixed Costs

= 190000 units × $18.42 + $875,000

=$ 4,374,800

Part c. If the selling price is $44.99 per unit, does the company break even on a cash basis?

The Company Breaks Even when

Total Sales Revenue = Total Production Costs

Total Sales Revenue = $44.99 × 190000

= $ 8,548,100

Total Sales Revenue $ 8,548,100 > Total Production Costs $ 4,374,800

Therefore Company does break even on a cash basis

Part c. If depreciation is $435,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?

Total Production Costs = $4,374,800+$435000

= $4,809,800

Therefore accounting break-even point is $4,809,800 Sales

Explanation:

Part a. What is the variable cost per unit?

Variable Cost are costs which Vary with the level of Activity.

Part b. What are the total costs for the year?

Calculation of Total Production Costs= Variable costs + Fixed Costs

Part c. If the selling price is $44.99 per unit, does the company break even on a cash basis?

Break-Even Point is the Point when the company neither makes a profit or a loss

Total Sales Revenue $ 8,548,100 > Total Production Costs $ 4,374,800

Therefore Company does break even on a cash basis

Part c. If depreciation is $435,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?

In simple terms the break even point in Sales Revenue is equal to all Variable plus fixed costs

During the current year, Cary and Bill incurred acquisition debt on their residence of $1,300,000 and a home equity loan of $200

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

qualified acquisition debt = $750,000

qualified home equity debt = $0

Explanation:

Qualified acquisition debt refers to the debt incurred to purchase or build your home. In this case, Cary and Bill are allowed to itemize the interests paid for up to $750,000 of the acquisition debt ($375,000 if filing separately). This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.

Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.

On January 1, 2021, the company obtained a $3 million loan with a 14% interest rate. The building was completed on September 30,

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

1. Calculate the amount of interest that Mason should capitalize in 2021 and 2022 using the weighted-average method.

interest capitalized in 2021 = $166,189

interest capitalized in 2022 = $77,956

2. What is the total cost of the building?

total construction costs ($6,375,000) + capitalized interests ($244,145) = $6,619,145

3. Calculate the amount of interest expense that will appear in the 2021 and 2022 income statements.

interest expense 2021 = $1,148,000 - $166,189 = $981,811

interest expense 2022 = $1,148,000 - $77,956 = $1,070,044

Explanation:

a 14%, $3,000,000 loan obtained on January 1, 2021

building was completed on September 30,2022

January 1, 2021: $1,050,000 x 12/12 = $1,050,000

March 1, 2021: $870,000 x 10/12 = $725,000

June 30, 2021: $390,000 x 6/12 = $195,000

October 1, 2021: $690,000 x 3/12 = $172,500

total weighted average expense 2021 = $2,142,500

weighted average interest rate:

$3,000,000 x 14% = $420,000

$4,900,000 x 5% = $245,000

$6,900,000 x 7% = $483,000

average interest rate = $1,148,000 / $14,800,000 = 7.7568%

interest capitalized in 2021 = $2,142,500 x 7.7568% = $166,189

January 31, 2022: $675,000 x 8/9 = $600,000

April 30, 2022: $990,000 x 5/9 = $550,000

August 31, 2022: $1,710,000 x 1/9 = $190,000

total weighted average expense 2021 = $1,340,000

weighted average interest rate:

$3,000,000 x 14% = $420,000

$4,900,000 x 5% = $245,000

$6,900,000 x 7% = $483,000

average interest rate = $1,148,000 / $14,800,000 = 7.7568%

interest capitalized in 2022 = $1,340,000 x 7.7568% x 9/12 = $77,956

In 1975, interest rates were 7.85 % and the rate of inflation was 12.3 % in the United States. What was the real interest rate

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Since the real rate of interest is negative, this means that the purchasing power of the savings have decreased over the year.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Interest rates = 7.85 %

The rate of inflation = 12.3 %

Now,

The Real interest rate is calculated as :

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

on substituting the respective values, we get

Real interest rate = 7.85% - 12.3%

Or

The real interest rate = - 4.45%

Here,

Since the real rate of interest is negative, this means that the purchasing power of the savings have decreased over the year.
