When [tex]$\text{accessing}$[/tex] the relative effectiveness leverage versus equity financing companies look for the level of the EBIT where [tex]$\text{EPS}$[/tex] remains unaffected, called the EBIT-EPS breakeven point .
To calculate the EBIT-EPS breakeven point, rearranging the [tex]$\text{EPS}$[/tex] formula:
[tex]$\text{EBIT}=\text{(EPS }\times \text{no. of common shares outstanding )}+\frac{\text{preferred share dividends}}{1-\text{tax rate}}+ \text {debt interest}$[/tex]
[tex]$=(\$4.05 \times 515,000)+0+\$1,100,000 = \$3,185,750$[/tex]
Therefore, the break even EBIT is $ 3,185,750
Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cozy. Labor costs will go from $1.76 to $2.26 per unit. Assume all period and variable costs as reported on Chester's Income Statement remain the same. If Chester were to pass on half the new labor costs to their customers, how many units of product Cozy would need to be sold next round to break even on the product
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question. The concluding parts are assuming the following;
Selling price per unit = $54
Current total variable cost = $24.50
Total fixed cost = $69,000
New variable cost will increase by ($2.26 - $1.76)/2 = $0.25
New variable cost will be = ($24.50 + $0.25) = $24.75
Contribution margin = ($54 - $24.75) = $29.25
New fixed cost = ($0.25 × 2,339) + $69,000 = $69,585
Note:
Old break even units = $69,000/$29.5 = 2,335 units
Therefore,
New break even units
= Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $69,585/$29.5
= 2,397 units
Cozy would have to sell 2,397 units as opposed to 2,335 units in order to break even.

Hannish Orchards, a juice manufacturer, uses a process that adds all the raw materials at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are evenly distributed. Assume there are no beginning inventories. During the period the company started making 10,000 gallons. There were 2,000 gallons left in ending WIP that were 40% of the way through the process. Costs incurred during the period were: $ 16,000 Raw materials $ 5,500 Conversion costs The cost assigned to ending work in process would be closest to: A) $3,700 B) $4,300 C) $1,720 D) $1,780
Answer:
a. $3,700
Explanation:
Unit completed = 10000 - 2000 = 8000
Equivalent unit of material = 10000
Equivalent unit of conversion = 8000 + (2000*40%)
Equivalent unit of conversion = 8800
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $16000/10000
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $1.6
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $5500/8800
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $0.625
Cost of ending WIP = Equivalent unit of material*Unit cost+Equivalent unit of conversion*Unit cost
Cost of ending WIP = 2000*$1.6 + (2000*40%)*$0.625
Cost of ending WIP = $3200 + $500
Cost of ending WIP = $3,700

Calculate the annual cash flows of a $2 million, 10-year fixed-payment deferred annuity earning a guaranteed 8 percent per year if annual payments are to begin at the end of the sixth (6th) year.
Answer:
$437,946.42
Explanation:
Present Value of Deferred Annuity = $2,000,000
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,000,000*(1.08)^5
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,938,656.15
Calculation of Annual Payment from Annuity using the TVM
Annual payment = PMT [PV, FV, N, I]
Annual payment = PMT [2,938,656.15, 0, 10, 0.08]
Annual payment = $437,946.42
So, the Annual Payment from annuity is $437,946.42.
Donkey Inc. has a fleet of 10 large trucks that cost a total of $1,410,000. The fleet is expected to be driven a total of 1,000,000 miles during its estimated 10-year life and be sold for $141,000 at the end of its useful life. If the fleet was driven 125,000 miles during the current year, what is the amount of depreciation that would be calculated using the straight-line and units-of-production methods, respectively
Answer:
$126,900
$125,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) / 10 = $126900
Activity method based on activity = (miles that year / total miles expected to be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) x ( 125,000 / 1,000,000) = 125,000
2. PC Calculators sell calculators that it purchases for $15 each. It costs PC $60 each time calculators are ordered, and carrying costs are 20% of the calculator's purchase price. Annual demand is 100,000 calculators. (a) Compute the EOQ. (b) Compute the inventory costs if PC orders are at (i) the EOQ amount, (ii) 1000 calculators, (iii) 2500 calculators.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Purchase price = $15,
Ordering cost = $60
Carrying cost = 20 % × $15 = $3
(a) The EOQ (economic order quantity) goes thus:
= ✓(2 × Annual demand × ordering cost / carrying cost )
= ✓(2 × 100000 × 60 / 3)
= ✓(12000000 / 3)
= ✓(4000000)
EOQ = 2000 calculators
b. The inventory cost when PC orders are at the EOQ amount goes thus:
Note that:
Inventory cost = Cost of purchase + Ordering cost + Carrying cost
Cost of purchase = $2000 × $15 = $30000
Ordering cost = 100000 / 2000 × 60 = $3000
Carrying cost = 20% × purchase price = 20% × $30000 = $6000
Then, the total cost will be:
= $30000 + $3000 + $6000
= $39000
b. Inventory cost at 1000 calculators will be:
Purchase cost = $1000 × $15 = $15000
Ordering Cost = Annual demand / Ordering quantity × cost of placing the order
= 100000 / 1000 × 60
= $6000
Carrying cost = 20% × $15000 = $3000
Then, the total inventory cost will be:
= $15000 + $6000 + $3000
= $24000
(iii) Inventory cost at 2500 calculators will be:
Purchase cost = 2500 × purchase price = $2500 × $15
= $37500
Ordering Cost of order = 100000 / 2500 × 60
= $2400
Carrying cost = 20% × $37500 = $7500
Total inventory cost:
= $37500 + $2400 + $7500
= $47400
Baker Company, an Ohio company that sells a branded product regionally to retail customers in Midwest. It normally sells its product for $40 per unit; however, it has received a one-time offer from a private-brand company on the West Coast to buy 1,000 units at $25 per unit. Even though the company has excess capacity to produce the units, the president of the company immediately rejected the offer; however, the chief accountant stated that it might be a profitable opportunity for the company, even though $25 is below its unit cost of $28, calculated as follows:
Cost
Direct material $12.00
Direct labor 8.00
Depreciation and other fixed costs 6.00
Total unit cost $26.00
Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order:
a. $5,000
b. ($5,000)
c. $25,000
d. ($25,000)
Answer:
Effect on income= $5,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
One-time offer:
1,000 units at $25 per unit.
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Unitary cost= 12 + 8= $20
Effect on income= 1,000*(25 - 20)
Effect on income= $5,000 increase

Chris Co. produces sports equipment and is currently producing 1,000 mini long boards annually. A supplier has offered to produce the boards for Chris Co. for $300 per board. Chris Co. incurs unit-level costs of $280 per unit. Chris also spends $25,000 on product design each year and incurs $50,000 of facility-level costs. The avoidable production cost for Chris to produce one mini long board is
Answer: $305
Explanation:
The avoidable production cost for Chris to produce one mini long board goes thus:
Unit Level Cost = $280
Add: Product Level Cost = $25,000 / 1000 units = $25
Then, the avoidable cost to produce one unit will be:
= $280 + $25
= $305
At the beginning of year 1, Kare Company initiated a quality improvement program. Considerable effort was expended over two years to reduce the number of defective units produced. By the end of the second year, reports from the production manager revealed that scrap and rework had both decreased. The president of the company was pleased to hear of the success but wanted some assessment of the financial impact of the improvements. To make this assessment, the following financial data were collected for the two years. Year 1 Year 2 Sales $ 10,000,000 $ 10,000,000 Scrap 400,000 300,000 Rework 600,000 400,000 Product inspection 100,000 125,000 Product warranty 800,000 600,000 Quality training 40,000 80,000 Materials inspection 60,000 40,000 Required: a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure. b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years. b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2
Answer:
a. The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. We have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = 1.65%
b-2. Profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.
Explanation:
a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure.
The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years.
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales = ((Product inspection + Material inspection) / Sales) * 100 ………………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = (($100,000 + $60,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = (($125,000 + $40,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.65%
b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2?
To calculate the profit associated to quality, only costs associated to quality are deducted from Sales as follows:
Profit associated to quality = Sales - Scrap - Rework - Product inspection - Materials inspection ……… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $10,000,000 - $400,000 - $600,000 - $100,000 - $60,000 = $8,840,000
Profit associated to quality for Year 2 = $10,000,000 - $300,000 - $400,000 - $125,000 - $40,000 = $9,135,000
Therefore, we have:
Increase in profit because of quality improvements = Profit associated to quality for Year 2 - Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $9,135,000 - $8,840,000 = $295,000
Therefore, profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.
frocks and gowns incorporated has two divisions day wear and night wear the day wear division has an investment base of 880,000 and produces and sells 134,500 units of collars at a market price of 12.20 wants to purchase 27,000 units of collars from the day wear division. what is the minimum transfer price that the day wear division would accept for the 27,000 unit order from the night wear
Question
Frocks and gowns incorporated has two divisions day wear and night wear the day wear division has an investment base of $880,000 and produces (and sells) 134,,500 units of Collars at a market price of $12.20 per unit. Variable costs total $7.80 per unit, and fixed charges are $3.90 per unit (based on a capacity of 140,000 units). The Night Wear Division wants to purchase 27,000 units of Collars from The Day Wear Division. However, the Night Wear Division is only willing to pay $8.45 per unit.
What is the contribution margin for the Day Wear Division without the transfer to the Night Wear Division?
Answer:
The minimum transfer value = $305,200
Explanation:
The company current has an excess capacity of 140,000-134,500=5,500 units
These available quantities can sold at a minimum transfer price of $7.80.
However, the balance of 21,500 (i.e 27,000 minus 5,500) should be transferred at the market price of $12.20. This is so because there is an opportunity cost attached to units supplied which is the contribution to be earned if sold at the market price.
Hence, The 27,000 units should transferred at the value computed below:
$
First 5,500= $5,500× $7.80= 42,900
The balance of 21,500 × $12.20= 262,300
The total value 305,200
The minimum transfer value = $305,200

The annual demand for a product is 14,400 units. The weekly demand is 277 units with a standard deviation of 80 units. The cost to place an order is $28.00, and the time from ordering to receipt is eight weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.10 per unit. a. Find the reorder point necessary to provide a 95 percent service probability. (Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Round z value to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
2589.56 units
Explanation:
Given that
Annual Demand = 14400 units
Weekly Demand = 277 units
Standard Deviation = 80 units
Ordering cost = $ 28
Lead Time = 8 weeks
Carrying cost = $ 0.10 / unit
Based on the above information
a) For a 95 percent service level, the value of z by referring to the Normal Table in Appendix A) is 1.65
The reorder point is computed as follows:
= Weekly Demand × Lead Time + Z × Standard Deviation × √ Lead Time
=277 × 8 + 1.65 × 80 × √8

A firm has just paid its annual dividend of $5.64 a share. Thereafter the dividend is expected to increase at a rate of 2% a year. If the firm's stock currently sells for $60 a share, what is the cost of equity
Answer:
11.588 %
Explanation:
The information available allows us to use the Dividend Growth Model to calculate the cost of equity as :
Cost of equity = Expected dividend ÷ Price per share + growth rate
therefore,
Cost of equity = ($5.64 x 1.02) / $60 + 2 %
= 11.588 %
You have $100,000 in your retirement fund that is earning 5.5 percent per year, compounded quarterly. a. How many dollars in withdrawals per month would reduce this nest egg to zero in 20 years
Answer:
$680
Explanation:
The computation of the dollars in withdrawals per month that decrease this nest egg to zero in 20 years is shown below;
As we can see in the attached image that the $100,000 would be in the retirement fund so in 20 years, the withdrawals per month is $680 that decrease the nest egg to zero
Therefore the same would be considered
Determine if there was a percent increase or decrease in the number of trench coats sold, and by how much. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
a.
The percentage of trench coats sold decreased by 0.8%.
b.
The percentage of trench coats sold increased by 0.8%.
c.
The percentage of trench coats sold decreased by 23.3%.
d.
The percentage of trench coats sold increased by 23.3%.
Answer:
D. increase of 23.3%, right on edge
Explanation:
to find the percentage increase, first you need to substract the final from the initial, then divide the difference by the initial, then multiply your answer by 100 to get the percentage
in this case, the final is 127, and the initial is 103
127 - 103 = 24
24 ÷ 103 = 0.233
0.233 x 100 = 23.3%
Answer:
✅ D. The percentage of trench coats sold increased by 23.3%.The normal distribution is an appropriate model of: A. system reliability where components are connected in parallel. B. the full cost view of maintenance. C. the high initial failure rates of product, machine, or processes. D. the MTBF distribution of products, machines, or processes that have "settled in." E. system reliability where components are connected in series.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: the MTBF distribution of products, machines, or processes that have "settled in".
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of "normal distribution" refers to statistic model used in the field of probabilities and the most common characteristics are that they have a standard deviation of 1 and are all symmetrical. In the proper graphic the form of a normal distribution will be the one of a curve bell. Therefore that it is regularly seen in as an appropiate model of MTBF distribution regarding maintenance of products, machines or processes. Moreover, this distribution also known as Gaussian is motivated by the Central Limit Theorem.
One reason why "protecting domestic jobs" is a poor argument against free trade is because A. there is little evidence that trade protection saves domestic jobs. B. the cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs. C. labor in other countries is not priced lower than U.S. labor. D. any outsourcing of jobs from the U.S. is completely offset by outsourcing of jobs from other countries.
Answer: Cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs.
Explanation:
Protectionism is when the local industries in a country are protected against foreign competition in order to help them grow.
One of the main ideas behind free trade is for the consumers to be provided with affordable and low prices goods when there's a free movement of goods between the countries.
It should be noted that an increase in the labour cost will also.bring about an increase in the value of jobs and this can result to the goods being sold at a higher price. Therefore the correct option is B "cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs".

For a given product demand, the time-series trend equation is 53 - 4 x. The negative sign on the slope of the equation:
a. is a mathematical impossibility.
b. is an indication that the forecast is biased, with forecast values lower than actual values.
c. is an indication that product demand is declining.
d. implies that the coefficient of determination will also be negative.
e. implies that the cumulative error will be negative.
Answer: is an indication that product demand is declining.
Explanation:
The negative sign on the slope of the time-series trend equation simply explains that the product demand is declining.
A negative slope indicates that two variables are negatively related which implies that when the value of x increases, rhen the value of y decreases, and vice versa. When putting this in a graph, the line falls when the line that's on the line graph shifts from left to right.
The correct option is C
