Answer:

4,166.66 units per year

Explanation:

Break-even is defined as the production volume at which the cost incurred in the production process is equal to the revenue earned.

Production above this point will result in positive revenue for the company.

The formula for break-even is

Break-even= Fixed cost ÷ (Difference in cost of labour per unit)

Difference in labour cost is the gain from this process. When it involves sales the denominator is Sales price less variable cost.

Break-even = 15,000 ÷ (1.4 - 0.2)

Break-even = 12,500 units

Production will have to exceed 12,500 units to justify purchase of the robot for 3 years.

Units produced per year will be

12,500 ÷ 3 = 4,166.66 units per year

Answer:

Since elasticity is 6.4, a positive figure,it is normal good and the fact that it is greater than one means it is elastic,hence option A is correct

Explanation:

The formula for income elasticity of demand is given as:

/(new quantity-old quantity)//(old price+new price)/2)/(New income-Old income)/(old income+new income)/2)

New income=$33,000

Old income=$31,900

New quantity =5 times

Old quantity=3 times

Hence=(5-3)/(3+5)/2)/(33500-31900)/(31900+33500)/2)

Elasticity=6.45

SBD Phone Company sells its waterproof phone case for $114 per unit. Fixed costs total $222,000, and variable costs are $34 per
g100num [7]

Answer:

5,275

Explanation:

The targeted pretax income is the difference between the targeted total sales and the estimated total cost.

The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the level of activities or number of units produced and sold.

Contribution margin is the difference between the sales and variable cost.

Let the number of units to be sold be F

114F - 34F - 222,000 = 200,000

80F = 422,000

F = 422,000/80

= 5,275

Placker Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Total cost= $3,595

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated fixed overehad= $155,000

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead= $3.40 per machine-hour

Estimated machine-hours= 50,000

Job A881:

Total machine-hours 100

Direct materials $645

Direct labor cost $2,300

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (155,000/50,000) + 3.4

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $6.5

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 645 + 2,300 + (6.5*100)

Total cost= $3,595
