- Calculating LIFO, FIFO, Income and Cash Flows An acquaintance has proposed the following business plan to you. A local company requires a consistent quantity of a commodity and is looking for a reliable supplier. You could become that reliable supplier. The cost of the commodity is expected to rise steadily over the foreseeable future, but the company is willing to pay more than the price that is current at the time. All you would need to do is make an investment, purchase the inventory and then deliver inventory to the company over the following year. One complication is that the commodity is available for purchase only seasonally, so at the end of every year you would need to purchase the supply for the following year. The customer pays promptly on delivery. An initial cash investment of $62,000 would be used to purchase $50,000 of inventory in December 2019. The remaining cash would be held for liquidity needs.

- Break-even Analysis Example Imagine that you want to launch a new business selling a smartphone app. You make the following assumptions about your costs and revenue. The expected average selling price = $7. Estimated fixed costs = $75,000 (this is enough to cover your salary and pay for a small office). These costs will not change with the number of apps sold. Variable costs = $0.50 (these are the transaction fees you need to pay on each sale). (1) Armed with this information, calculate the break-even point in units: (2) To earn a profit of 5%, how many units do you need to sell? (3) What if you were able to reduce the estimated fixed cost to $65,000, what would your new break-even be in units? (4) What if you missed the mark on variable costs and the actual variable costs are $1.15, what would your break-even be in units?arrow_forwardInternational Paper is trying to find the best paper rolling machine to maximize sales volume.
