1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume.
2. Reduce variable costs to 55% of sales.
3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000.
Which course of action will produce the highest net income?

Answer:

1. $43000

2.$65000

3. $31000

Alternative 2

Explanation:

Computation for the net income to be earned by Increasing the selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume.

1. Calculation of net income :-

First step is to calculate the Current selling price

Current selling price = $300000/ 5000 units

Current selling price= $ 60 per unit

Second step is to calculate the New selling price

New selling price = $ 60 *110%

New selling price= $ 66 per unit

Now let calculate the net income

Sales (5000 units * $66 per unit) $330000

Less Variable costs ($217000)

Contribution Margin $113000

($330000-$217000)

Less Fixed costs ($70000)

Net income $43000

($113000-$70000)

2. Computation for the net income to be earned by Reducing variable costs to 55% of sales.

Sales (5000 units * $60 per unit) $300000

Less Variable costs (55% * $300000) $165000

Contribution Margin $135000

($300000-$165000)

Less Fixed costs($70000)

Net income $65000

($135,000-7000)

3.Computation for the net income to be earned if their is Reduce fixed costs by $18000.

Dr Sales (5000 units * $60 per unit) $300000

Less Variable costs ($217000)

Contribution Margin $83000

($300000-$217000)

Less Fixed costs $52,000

($70000 - $18000)

Net income $31000

($83,000-$52,000)

Based on the information given the course of action that will produce the highest net income is alternative 2 with the amount of $65,000

The George Company has a policy of maintaining an end-of-month cash balance of at least $37,000. In months where a shortfall is expected, the company can draw in $1,000 increments on a line of credit it has with a local bank, at an interest rate of 12% per annum. All borrowings are assumed for budgeting purposes to occur at the beginning of the month, while all loan repayments (in $1,000 increments of principal) are assumed to occur at the end of the month. Interest is paid at the end of each month. For April, an end-of-month cash balance (prior to any financing and interest expense) of $24,000 is budgeted; for May, an excess of cash collected over cash payments (prior to any interest payments and loan repayments) of $28,000 is anticipated.

The country of Lessidinia has a tax system identical to that of the United States. Suppose someone in Lessidinia bought a parcel of land for 20,000 foci (the local currency) in 1960 when the price index equaled 100. In 2002, the person sold the land for 100,000 foci, and the price index equaled 600. The tax rate on nominal gains was 20 percent. Compute the taxes on the nominal gain and the change in the real value of the land in terms of 2002 prices to find the after-tax real rate of capital gain.
