Astair, Inc. reported sales of $6,000,000 for the month and incurred variable expenses totaling $4,600,000 and fixed expenses to
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 78,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed cost= $940,000

Total contribution margin= (6,000,000 - 4,600,000)= $1,400,000

Unitary contribution margin= 1,400,000 / 70,000= $20

Desired profit= $620,000

<u>To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (940,000 + 620,000) / 20

Break-even point in units= 78,000

When estimating the cost of equity by use of the CAPM, three potential problems are (1) whether to use long-term or short-term r
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. true.

Explanation:

The cost of capital is a little less unique than the cost of debt. Equity is any financing raised through the sale of shares. Different people have different ways of measuring equity.

Some people prefer to simply use the CAPM or some other form of APT, estimating the cost of capital as an amount equivalent to the risk premium on the returns paid by the company to its investors. In this way, the returns generated in excess of the risk-free rate are considered the cost of equity.

This calculation is easy to use, but also takes into account the fluctuations in the value of the shares in the secondary market, which really has no cost to the company. Some people argue their benefits.

Why is it easier to quantify paid work done outside the home over unpaid housework and childcare?
diamong [38]
<span>It is easier to quantify paid work done outside the home over unpaid housework and childcare because traditional means of tracking economic activity, such as the gross domestic product (GDP) can be used. Housework on the other hand is not easily measurable because the traditional means of tracking economic activity  do not take account of non-exchange, non-market household activity. </span>
