Zoomer Company produces Optimist sailboats. The costs of producing 100,000 tiller extensions for use in the boats are as follows: Direct labor $250,000 Direct materials 300,000 Variable overhead 65,000 Fixed overhead 185,000 An outside supplier has offered to supply the tiller extensions for $720,000. If Zoomer accepts the offer $85,000 of fixed costs can be avoided. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the supplier's offer?
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the product in house.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor $250,000 Direct materials 300,000 Variable overhead 65,000 Fixed overhead 185,000 An outside supplier has offered to supply the tiller extensions for $720,000. If Zoomer accepts the offer $85,000 of fixed costs can be avoided.
We will calculate the total cost of both options:
Make in the house:
Total cost= 250,000 + 300,000 + 65,000 + 185,000= $800,000
Buy:
Total cost= 720,000 + 100,000= $820,000
It is cheaper to make the product in house.
Fixed costs including depreciation have increased at Leverage Inc., from $4 million to $5.3 million in an effort to reduce variable costs. What must the new variable cost percentage of sales be to break even from an accounting perspective at $20 million?
Answer:
VC% = 73.5%
The New variable cost percentage of sales = 73.5%
Explanation:
Given;
New Fixed cost = $5.3 million
Total cost = $20 million
Total variable cost = $20 - $5.3 = $14.7 million
Variable cost percent=(total variable cost/total cost)×100%
VC% = (14.7/20) × 100%
VC% = 73.5%
Answer:
73.5%
Explanation:
Break-even is the level of sales at which the business have no profit no loss. At this point business only covers the the variable and fixed cost.
As we know the break-even sales value can be calculated as follow:
Break-even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
As per given data
Break-even sales = $20 million
Fixed Cost = $5.3 million
Placing value in the formula
$20 million = $5.3 / Contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio = $5.3 million / $20 million = 0.265 = 26.5%
As we know
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
26.5% = 100% - Variable cost ratio
Variable cost ratio = 100% - 26.5% = 73.5%

Baker Company's sales mix is 3 units of A, 2 units of B, and 1 unit of C. Selling prices for each product are $20, $30, and $40, respectively. Variable costs per unit are $12, $18, and $24, respectively. Fixed costs are $320,000. What is the break-even point in composite units
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
3 units of A at ($20-$12) contribution margin per unit = $24
2 units of B at ($30-$18) contribution margin per unit =24
1 unit of C at ($40-$24) contribution margin per unit = 16
contribution margin of a composite unit (sum) = $64
Break even point in composite units=$320,000/$64= $5,000
Therefore the break-even point in composite units is $5,000
Answer:
30,000 units
Explanation:
The break-even point is the units of the products that must be produced and sold to make the total costs to be equal to the total revenue.
Beak-even point can be determined as follows:
Break-even point = total fixed cost / average contribution per unit
Break-even point (units ) = $105,000/125 per unit
average contribution per unit
= contribution from a mix /total units
=(3×( 20-12) + 2×(30- 18) + 1× (40-24))/(3+2+1)
=$10.667 per unit
Break-even point (units
= $320,00/10.66
=30000

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.
Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + additional stock issued + net income - dividend paid
net income is the difference between sales and expenses
= $406080 + $57600 - $34560 - $5760
= $423,360

Halo Beverages has two divisions, North and South, which share the common costs of the company's computer support. The total cost of computer support is $4,000,000 a year. The North Division fields 3,800 help desk calls per year and uses 18,200 hours of network time. The South Division fields 4,200 desk help calls per year and uses 21,800 hours of network time. What is the amount of cost that will be allocated to the North Division if fixed computer support costs of $2,500,000 are allocated on the basis of number of calls and the remaining costs (all variable) are allocated on the basis of number of hours on the network
Answer: $1,870,000
Explanation:
Total cost of computer support = $4,000,000
North division = 3800 calls per year
North division = 18,200 hours network time
South division = 4200 calls per year
South division = 21,800 hours network time
Total amount allocated on basis of number of calls = $2,500,000
Tot allocated on basis of network time =
$4,000,000 - $2,500,000 = $1,500,000
Total amount allocated to North division =
[(2,500,000/(3800+4200)) × 3800] + [(1,500,000 / (18,200+21,800)) × 18,200]
(312.5 × 3800) + (37.5 × 18200)
$1,187,500 + $682500 = $1,870,000
$1,870,000

The loss of income was refunded from the insurance company and must not appear in the gross income because tax rules gives benefits of such payment receipts. Furthermore, the compensation for suffering and pain is also disallowed expense under the tax rule.
The punitive damages must appear as income in the tax returns and the medical expenses that the person paid initially and set it off in the tax return 2019, must now appear as income because previously it was deducted.
So the total gross income under the tax rules = $50,000 + $6,000
Gross Income = $56,000

Problem 6-6 Bond Prices [LO 2] App Store Co. issued 16-year bonds one year ago at a coupon rate of 6.2 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. Required: If the YTM on these bonds is 5.4 percent, what is the current bond price? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
Answer:
$1,081.53
Explanation:
For computing the current bond of the price we need to use the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Assuming Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 5.4% ÷ 2 = 2.7%
NPER = (16 years - 1 years) × 2 = 30 years
PMT = $1,000 × 6.2% ÷ 2 = $31
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the current bond price is $1,081.53

Higher interest rates would have A. increased profits for firms. B. decreased investment spending by firms and home purchases. C. increased net exports. D. increased inventory spending. The Fed appears to believe that the more "potent multiplier effect" is associated with A. consumer spending on non-durable goods because it is more sensitive to lower interest rates. B. investment spending because it is more sensitive to lower interest rates. C. inventory spending because it is less sensitive to lower interest rates. D. consumer spending on non-durable goods because it is less sensitive to lower interest rates.
Answer:
1.) B. Decreased investment spending by firms and home purchases.
2.) B. Investment spending because it is more sensitive to lower interest rates.
Explanation:
Higher interest rate tends to moderate economic growth, by increasing the cost of borrowing, reduce disposable income and therefore limit the growth in consumer spending, this tendency reduces inflationary pressures and cause an appreciation in the exchange rate.
Changes in interest rates can have both positive and negative effect s on the markets. Central banks often change their target interest rates i response to economic activity: raising rates when the economy is overly strong, and lowering rates when the economy is sluggish.
Lowering rates makes borrowing money cheaper. This encourages consumer and business spending and investment and can boost asset prices.
Lowering rates, however, can also lead to problems such as inflation and liquidity traps, which undermines the effectiveness of low rates.
Jaymes corporation produces high-performance rotors. it expects to produce 69,000 rotors in the coming year. it has invested $11,040,000 to produce rotors. the company has a required return on investment of 20%. what is its roi per unit?
