Breakeven and leverage wingler communications corporation (wcc) produces premium stereo headphones that sell for $28 80 per set, and this year's sales are expected to be 450,000 units. variable production costs for the expected sales under present production methods are estimated at $10,200,000, and fixed production (operating) costs at present are

At what unit sales level would WCC have the same EPS, assuming it undertakes the investment and finances it with debt or with stock? {Hint: V = variable cost per unit = $8,160,000/440,000, and EPS = [(PQ - VQ - F - I)(1 - T)]/N. Set EPSStock = EPSDebt and solve for Q.} Round your answer to the nearest whole. units At what unit sales level would EPS = 0 under the three production/financing setups - that is, under the old plan, the new plan with debt financing, and the new plan with stock financing? (Hint: Note that VOld = $10,200,000/440,000, and use the hints for Part b, setting the EPS equation equal to zero.) Round your answers to the nearest whole. Old plan units New plan with debt financing units New plan with stock financing units On the basis of the analysis in parts a through c, and given that operating leverage is lower under the new setup, which plan is the riskiest, which has the highest expected EPS, and which would you recommend? Assume here that there is a fairly high probability of sales falling as low as 250,000 units, and determine EPSDebt and EPSStock at that sales level to help assess the riskiness of the two financing plans. Round your answers to two decimal places. EPSDebt = $ EPSStock = $

The federal reserve took an expansionary approach during the crisis. this was done by expanding the money supply and boosting liquidity. this can be seen in the fed's actions of lending to banks, purchasing securities, and lowering the federal funds rate in order to lower overall interest rates. the fed's goal was to increase consumer spending and overall liquidity within the system, and they pursued this by expanding the supply of liquid money.
