Disclaimer- The complete question is

Wilson hires a financial analyst to analyze costs and profits for his cereal production business. The analyst determines that Wilson's eventual profit function is given as pi = 2x ^ 4 - 4x ^ 3 + 7 where x is the number of bags of cereal produced. At what point or number of bags of cereal will Wilson's profit start decreasing?

If the company produces only one 1 bag then the profit of Wilson starts decreasing.

Let  f ( x ) = 2x^4 − 4x^3 + 7

f ′ ( x ) = 8x^3 − 12x^2

For decreasing,  f ′( x ) ≤ 0

⇒  4x^2 ( 2x−3 ) ≤ 0

⇒  2x−3 ≤ 0     ( a s x^2 ≥ 0)

⇒  x ≤ 3/2

Since, x is number of bags

So,  x ∈ N

∴ x = 1 is only possibility

Thus, If the company produces only one 1 bag then the profit of Wilson starts decreasing.

Financial analysis is the process of evaluating a company's performance using financial data and making suggestions for future improvement. The majority of the work done by financial analysts is done in Excel, where they use a spreadsheet to examine past data and predict how the company will perform in the future.

15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Variable expenses                     378,000         14

Total variable costs              $3,240,000    $120

Contribution =                       $1,080,000      $40

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

33.77%

Explanation:

In one year, you are going to receive ($42 x 100) + ($0.56 x 100) = $4,256

you must return ($35.50 x 50) = $1,775

plus interests = $1,775 x 6% = $106.50

total return = $4,256 - $1,775 - $106.50 = $2,374.50

you invested $1,775

return on your investment = ($2,374.50 / $1,775) - 1 = 33.77%

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The journal entry for the issuance of the preferred stock is shown below:

Explanation:

Cash A/c..................................................Dr   $30,000

    Preference Stock A/c....................................Cr $10

    Paid in Capital in excess of Par A/c...........Cr   $29,990

Working Note:

Cash = Shares × Issued price per share

where

Shares are 1,000

Issued Price per share is $30

= 1,000 × $30

= $30,000

Preference Stock = Shares × Par price

= 1,000 × $0.01

=$ 10

Paid in Capital in excess of Par = Cash - Preference stock

= $30,000 - $10

= $29,990
