Eaton Tool Company has fixed costs of $407,400, sells its units for $90, and has variable costs of $48 per unit. a. Compute the break-even point. b. Ms. Eaton comes up with a new plan to cut fixed costs to $320,000. However, more labor will now be required, which will increase variable costs per unit to $51. The sales price will remain at $90. What is the new break-even point
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the break even point is given below
As we know that
Break even point is
= (Fixed cost) ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit)
a. Break even point is
= ($407,400) ÷ ($90 - $48)
= 9,700 units
b. The break even point is
= ($320,000) ÷ ($90 - $51)
= 8,205 units

Consider the case of the following annuities, and the need to compute either their expected rate of return or duration. Ryan inherited an annuity worth $3,280.16 from his uncle. The annuity will pay him five equal payments of $800 at the end of each year. The annuity fund is offering a return of
Answer:
7%
Explanation:
present value of an annuity = annual payment x PV annuity factor
PV annuity factor = $3,280.16 / $800 = 4.1002
using an annuity table, given 5 periods and the factor value, the i = 7%
you could also calculate it by solving:
4.1002 = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ ] / i
but it is much longer and difficult than just looking at a table

There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why the statistic is preferred.
Question Completion:
a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.
b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.
c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
Answer:
The GDP Deflator and the CPI
a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.
b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here. Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.
c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation. Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP. On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.

Common Stock ($1 par, 600,000 shares issued, 500,000 outstanding)
Answer:
The company's EPS is:
= 3.46
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Income Before Taxes (from ongoing operations) (’x2)= $2,470,000
Income Tax Rate (’x2) = (30% * $2,470,000) = $741,000
Net Income after taxes = $1,729,000
5% Preferred Stock ($100 Par, 10,000 shares issued) = $1,000,000
Common Stock ($1 par, 600,000 shares issued, 500,000 outstanding)
Outstanding common stock = $500,000
EPS (Earnings per share) = Net income after taxes/No. of outstanding shares
= $1,729,000/500,000
= $3.458
b) The earnings per share (EPS) equals Company A's net profit after taxes divided by the number of its outstanding common stock shares. Using the EPS, it indicates how much money Company A makes for each share of its stock. As a widely used metric, a potential stockholder of Company A can use it to estimate Company A's value when combined with the price per share.

Michael's, Inc., just paid $2.60 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 5.6 percent. If you require a rate of return of 9.8 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock
Answer:
$65.37
Explanation:
Calculation for how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock
Using this formula
P/0 = D0 ( 1 + g ) / R-g
Let plug in the formula
P/0 = $2.60 (1 + .056) / .098 - .056
P/0 = $2.60 (1 .056)/0.042
P/0=$2.7456/0.042
P/0=$65.37
Therefore how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock will be $65.37

6 . How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably.
Answer:
Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school.
This will shift the demand curve to the right, increasing the total demand at all price levels.Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably.
This will shift the supply curve to the left, increasing the price of pens at every demand level.What is sure is that the price of pens will increase. It is likely that the quantity demanded increases, but the extent by which the quantity demanded will increase is unknown.

And, the cash flow to stockholder is
= Dividend paid - owner equity 2016 + owner equity 2015 + retained earnings
= $11,400 - $283,818 + $231,918 + $49,380
= $8,880
What is profit motive
Answer:
the desire for financial gain as an incentive in economic activity.
Direct labor or machine hours may not be the appropriate cost driver for overhead in all areas of manufacturing due to the complexities of many manufacturing processes. Many companies use activity-based costing (ABC) which uses multiple drivers (items that consume resources) rather than just one driver to apply overhead to their activities. With ABC, a company can use a cost driver that has a direct cause/effect relationship in its applied overhead costs.
Waterways looked into ABC as a method of costing because of the variety of items it produces and the many different activities in which it is involved.
Using the following information, determine the overhead rates and the actual cost assigned for each of the activity cost pools in a possible ABC system for Waterways. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)

RETAINED EARNINGS STATEMENT
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Retained earnings, January 1, as reported $715,700
Correction for overstatement of expenses in
prior period (net of tax) $88,840
Retained earnings, January 1, as adjusted $804,540
($715,700+$88,840)
Add Net income $1,567,700
Less Cash dividends ($83,500)
Retained earnings, December 31 $2,288,740
($804,540+$1,567,700-$83,500)
Therefore retained earnings statement for the year ended December 31, 2020 will be $2,288,740
Jessica is a U.S. Army Reservist and in 2020 traveled 130 miles each way to serve duty at a local military installation. She was required to report four times in 2020. Her normal route from home to the base included a $1.75 toll each way. Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:
Answer:
AGI Deduction = 580.8 US dollars.
Explanation:
Solution:
Data Given:
Miles traveled = 130 miles
Reporting Period = 4 times in 2020
Cost from home to base = $1.75 toll each way.
Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:
First, we need to find the travel amount:
Travel amount = Miles x Reporting Period x 2 x Mileage rate for deduction
Here, mileage rate for deduction = 0.545 per mile. So,
Travel Amount = 130 miles x 4 times x 2 x 0.545
Travel Amount = 566.8 US dollars.
Now, we need to find the Jessica's Toll Expenses.
Toll Expenses = 1.75 x 2 x 4 times
Toll Expenses = 14 US dollars.
Finally, we can find the required AGI Deduction:
AGI Deduction = Travel Amount + Toll Expenses.
AGI Deduction = 566.8 US dollars + 14 US dollars
Hence, Jessica's AGI deductions are:
AGI Deduction = 580.8 US dollars.
A supply curve is upward-sloping because At higher prices sellers have a greater incentive to produce more, ceteris paribus. The law of supply states that as price rises, the quantity supplied increases. At lower prices sellers may not be covering their costs of production and are therefore willing to supply less. All of the answers are correct.
Answer:
All of the answers are correct.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that in a production process when the price of. Commodity increases the suppliers are more willing to supply more goods, while when price falls suppliers tend to supply less goods.
This is as a result of lower motivation to sell at a lower price where profit margins are low. The higher the price the more the profit made so they are more motivated.
Also when prices are too low the suppliers may barely cover their cost of production so they tend to supply less.
Attached is a diagram of the supply curve
On April 1, Cyclone's Co. purchases a trencher for $314,000. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $57,000. Exercise 8-11 Straight-line, partial-year depreciation LO C2 Compute depreciation expense at December 31 for the first and second year assuming the company uses the straight-line method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $51,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $314,000
Salvage value= $57,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (314,000 - 57,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $51,400
The depreciation expense is the same every year.
Jose has the opportunity to invest in a scheme which will pay $5000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. He must invest $10,000 at the start of the first year and an additional $10,000 at the end of the first year. What is the present value of this investment if the interest rate is 8%?
Answer: $19963.6
Explanation:
The present value of this investment if the interest rate is 8% would be gotten by using the formula below;
PV = PMT/[r × (1+r)^n / (1+r)^n -1]
PV = 5000[8% × (1+8%)^5 / (1+8%)^5-1
PV = 5000[0.08 + 1.08^5 / 1.08^4
PV = 19963.6
Therefore, the present value of the investment is 19963.6
