Katlin Markets is debating between a levered and an unlevered capital structure. The all-equity capital structure would consist of 75,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 40,000 shares of stock plus $320,000 of debt with an interest rate of 6.25 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options? Ignore taxes.a.$46,333.33b.$44,140.71c.$42,208.15d.$49,666.67e.$42,857.14

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

e. $42,857.14

Explanation:

The computation of the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options is shown below:

(EBIT) ÷ (Number of shares) = (EBIT - Interest) ÷ Number of shares  

(EBIT) ÷ (75,000 shares) = (EBIT - $20,000) ÷$40,000

40,000 × EBIT = 75,000 × EBIT - $1,500,000,000

35,000 × EBIT = $1,500,000,000

After solving this,  

The EBIT would be $42,857.14

The interest expense

= $320,000 × 6.25%

= $20,000

Explanation:

Direct costs are costs that are directly traceable to the production of goods and services and can be identified with a unit of production.  While direct costs are usually variable, some direct costs can be fixed.

Indirect costs are costs that support the operation of the company.  They cannot be traced to any unit of production.  Similarly, some indirect costs are variable while others are fixed.

D. If an increase in chocalate prices causes the variable cost per unit to increase to $0.55, what will happen to the breakeven point?

Answers

Answer:

(i) $0.26

(ii) 43.33%

(iii) 657,692.31 units

(iv) 3,420,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $0.60

Variable cost per unit = $0.34

Total fixed costs = $171,000

(i) contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable cost per unit

                                                   = $0.60 - $0.34

                                                   = $0.26

(ii) contribution margin ratio:

= (contribution margin ÷ Selling price) × 100

= ($0.26 ÷ $0.6) × 100

= 43.33%

(iii) Break-even point in units:

= Total Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin

= (171,000 ÷  0.26)

= 657,692.31 units

(iv) If an increase in chocolate prices causes the variable cost per unit to increase to $0.55.

contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable cost per unit

                                                   = $0.60 - $0.55

                                                   = $0.05

New Break-even point in units:

= Total Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin

= (171,000 ÷  0.05)

= 3,420,000 units

Therefore, there is an increase in the break-even units or more units have to be sold to cover the variable and fixed cost.

a. The contribution margin per unit for Stack-O-Choc candy bars is $0.26.

b. The contribution margin ratio is approximately 43.33%.

c. The breakdown point is approximately 657,692 units or $394,615.38 in sales dollars.

d. If the variable cost per unit increases to $0.55, the new breakeven point will be 3,420,000 units, indicating a higher breakeven level.

a. The contribution margin per unit for the Stack-O-Choc candy bar can be calculated as follows:

Contribution Margin per Unit = Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit Contribution Margin per Unit = $0.60 - $0.34 = $0.26

b. The contribution margin ratio (CM ratio) is the contribution margin per unit divided by the selling price per unit, expressed as a percentage:

CM Ratio = (Contribution Margin per Unit / Selling Price per Unit) x 100%

CM Ratio = ($0.26 / $0.60) x 100% ≈ 43.33%

c. The breakdown point in units can be calculated using the following formula:

Breakdown Point in Units = Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per Unit Breakdown Point in Units = $171,000 / $0.26 ≈ 657,692 units

To find the breakdown point in sales dollars, you can multiply the breakdown point in units by the selling price per unit:

Breakdown Point in Sales Dollars = Breakdown Point in Units x Selling Price per Unit

Breakdown Point in Sales Dollars = 657,692 units x $0.60 ≈ $394,615.38

d. If the variable cost per unit increases to $0.55 due to higher chocolate prices, you can calculate the new breakeven point using the updated variable cost:

New Breakdown Point in Units = Total Fixed Costs / Updated Contribution Margin per Unit

New Breakdown Point in Units = $171,000 / ($0.60 - $0.55) = $171,000 / $0.05 = 3,420,000 units

So, if the variable cost per unit increases to $0.55, the new breakeven point in units will be 3,420,000 units. This increase in variable cost will result in a higher breakeven point.

Tidy Limited purchased a new van on January 1, 2018. The van cost $40,000. It has an estimated life of ten years and the estimated residual value is $3,500. Tidy uses the double-declining-balance method to compute depreciation. What is the adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019

Answers

Answer:

$33,600

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But first we have to determined the following things

Depreciation rate

= 1 ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 10

= 0.1

It is double-declining so the rate is also double i.e. 0.20

Now in the first year, the depreciation expense is

= $40,000 × 0.20

= $8,000

Now in the second year, the depreciation is

= ($40,000 - $8,000) × 0.20

= $25,600

So, the accumulated depreciation at the end of 2019 is

= $8,000 + $25,600

= $33,600

Here the residual value is not relevant. hence, ignored it

The opening balance of Company A is 25,000, and the repayment is scheduled for 1,000 per month at an annual interest rate of 5%. Use the average debt balance to calculate the interest payment. The closing balance of debt at the end of the month is _____ and the interest payment is _____.

Answers

Answer:

Closing balance of debt at the end of the month = $24,000

Interest payment = $102.08

Explanation:

The computation of closing balance of debt at the end of the month and the interest payment is shown below:-

Closing balance of debt at the end of the month = Opening balance of company A - Scheduled Repayment per month

= $25,000 - $1,000

= $24,000

Interest payment =  Average Debt × Annual interest rate × 12 months

= (($25,000 + $24,000) ÷ 2) × 0.05 ÷ 12  months

= $102.08

Therefore we have applied the above formulas.

Final answer:

To calculate the interest payment, find the average debt balance by adding the opening and closing balance and dividing by 2. Then, multiply the average debt balance by the monthly interest rate to get the interest payment.

Explanation:

To calculate the interest payment using the average debt balance, we need to calculate the average debt balance for the month. To do this, we add the opening balance and closing balance of debt and divide them by 2. In this case, the opening balance is $25,000 and the closing balance is the repayment of $1,000. So the average debt balance is $(25,000 + 1,000) / 2 = $13,000.

Next, we calculate the interest payment by multiplying the average debt balance by the annual interest rate and dividing it by 12 (since it's a monthly payment). The annual interest rate is 5%, so the monthly interest rate is 5% / 12 = 0.41667%. Therefore, the interest payment is $13,000 × 0.41667% = $54.17 (rounded to the nearest cent).
