Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Basic models Deluxe models
Sales price $44 $54
Variable costs $25 $25
Contribution margin $9 $29
×
Sales mix 1 3
Total contribution margin $9 $87
Contribution margin per unit = $9 + $87 = $96
Weighted contribution margin= Total contribution margin / Units
= $96 / $4
= $24
Break even point = Total fixed costs / Weighted contribution margin
Break even point = $1,441 / $24
Break even point = 60 units
•Basic units = 60 × 63.33% = 38 units of basic
•Deluxe units = 60 × 43.33% = 26 units of Deluxe units
Answer:
The slope of the consumer's budget constraint is -PA/PB.
Explanation:
The quantity of good A (Q A) is plotted along the horizontal axis, the quantity of good B (Q B) is plotted along the vertical axis.
The price of good A is PA, the price of good B is PB and the consumer's income is I.
The budget line represents the maximum possible bundles of two goods that a consumer can afford by spending his total income. The slope of the budget line will be the ratio of the prices of two goods. It represents the quantity of a good that the consumer needs to sacrifice to increase the consumption of the other good.
So the slope of the budget constraint will be -PA/PB.
Answer:
NPV = $1.49 million
Explanation:
<em>The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite. </em>
<em>NPV of an investment: </em>
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
But we will need to work out the discount rate to be used for discounting the cash flows. Hence, we need to determine the cost of capital as follows:
Step 1: After-tax cost of debt
After tax cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1-tax rate rate)
= 9%× (1--0.3)=6.3%
Step 2 : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC=( 0.25×6.3%) + (0.75× 13%) =11.325
%
Step 3:Net Present Value (NPV)
PV of cash inflow= (1- (1.11325^-5)/0.11325)× 13.5 = 49.49 million
Initial cost = $48 million
NPV = 49.49 million - $48 million =$1.49 million
NPV = $1.49 million
Answer:
The agency collected $ 622.5.
Explanation:
Since HRH Collection Agency keeps a collection fee of 25% of any amounts collected, to determine how much did the agency collect on a bad debt if the agency forwarded $ 2490 to a client, the following calculation must be performed:
2490 x 0.25 = X
622.5 = X
Therefore, the agency collected $ 622.5.
Answer: C) Benchmark against local and national markets
Explanation:
This is the best answer because Solo Music Publishers is losing employees to rivals because they offer better salaries. Should they then align their salary package to that of rivals at a local and national scale, they will become more competitive and hence more attractive. Baring other factors then, they should lose no more employees based on salary structure alone.
