That is economics. Also known as 'Supply and Demand'.It means that the buyers are competing against each other like if one person wants the new Lamborghini and another also wants it, but there is only one in stock, they will have to compete not by fighting but by business, same with the sellers. If there is this new hat and a lot of sellers have it, the sellers will have to compete to sell the hats at the best price, but also earn a profit. Who ever has the best price will attract the buyers.

(P.S. A free market is a market in which the Government does not get involved between the buyer and the seller. That is called Capitalism. In some countries, the Government puts the price. So the Government is getting involved. That is called Communism:)

enot [183]

a. The number of units to be sold for Yared Plc to break-even is 250 units.

b. The number of units to be sold to earn a target operating income of br. 90,000 is 700 units.

c. The sales amount for Yared Plc to earn a target net income of br. 63,000 is 700 units.

Data and Calculations:

Sales units of bicycles = 400 units

Selling price per unit = br. 600

Total variable costs = br. 160,000

Unit variable cost = br. 400 (br. 160,000/400)

Contribution margin per unit = br. 200 (br. 600 - br. 400)

Fixed costs = br. 50,000

Tax rate = 30%

Net income = income after tax

= 1 - 30%

= 70%

a. The number of units to be sold for Yared Plc to break-even is given by Fixed Costs/Contribution margin per unit

= br. 50,000/br. 200

= 250 units.

b. The number of units to be sold to earn a target operating income of br. 90,000 is given as (Fixed Costs + Target Profit)/Contribution margin per unit

= (br. 50,000 + br. 90,000)/br. 200

= br. 140,000/br. 200

= 700 units.

c. The sales amount for Yared Plc to earn a target net income of br. 63,000 is (br. 50,000 + br. 63,000/(1 - 30%)/br. 200

= (br. 50,000 + br. 90,000)/br. 200

= br. 140,000/br. 200

= 700 units.

Answer:

NPV = -$78,318

Explanation:

cash flow 0 = -$310,000 - $190,000 = -$500,000

cash flow 1 = $125,000

cash flow 2 = $125,000

cash flow 3 = $125,000 - $58,000 = $67,000

cash flow 4 = $125,000 + $83,000 + $190,000 = $398,000

NPV = -$500,000 + $125,000/1.2 + $125,000/1.2² + $67,000/1.2³ + $398,000/1.2⁴ = -$78,318

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A. Lead to local but not global or strategic improvements if they are not linked to strategy.

Explanation:

A key performance indicator card is a technique or rather methodology used in assessing the status of a measure by comparing key indicators to target. It is a performance card that identifies the main objective and gives a well structured view of the organization. It can lead to both local and strategic improvements if they are linked to strategy. They are performance scorecards developed without necessarily working from company's strategy.
