A. Zoey is likely a freelancer
Answer:
PLAN A:
(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40
PLAN B:
(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40
PLAN C:
$20 + $75 = $95 ;
PLAN A is optimal from 0 to 192 minutes
PLAN C is optimal from 192 minutes onward ;
Explanation:
PLAN A :
Service charge = $20
Daytime = $0.39 per minute
Evening = $0.19 per minute
PLAN B :
Service charge = $20
Daytime = $0.49 per minute
Evening = $0.14 per minute
PLAN C :
Service charge = $20
225 minutes = $75
Minutes beyond 225 = $0.36 per minute
A.)
Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.
PLAN A:
(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40
PLAN B:
(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40
PLAN C:
$20 + $75 = $95
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
PLAN A:
20 + 0.39D = 95
0.39D = 95 - 20
D = 75 / 0.39
D = 192.31
Answer:
The answer is 629,000.
Explanation:
- For each unit of M sold, the price is 7 and the cost is 3, so the contribution margin is 4;
- For each unit of N sold, the price is 4 and the cost is 2, so the contribution margin is 2;
- For each unit of O sold, the price is 6 and the cost is 3, so the contribution margin is 3;
- With the mix, 1 unit of sale contributes (contribution per mix) 3*M+1*N+2*O = 3*4+1*2+2*3 = 20
For covering the 340,000 of fixed costs, you have to sale 340,000/20 units. That's equal to 17,000 units.
Each unit of sales is equal to (price per mix) 7*M+4*N+6*O = 7*3+4*1+6*2 = 37. So, with 17,000 units, the total sales will be 17,000 * 37 = 629,000.
Answer:
(a) What is the net present value of this potential investment?
Net present value of Investment is $(3,903)
(b) Should you invest in this machine?
We should not invest in this investment because Net present value of this investment is negative by discounting Minimum acceptable rate of return.
Explanation:
Present Values:
Revenue $144,146
O&M Cost ($48,049)
Initial Investment <u>$(100,000)</u>
Net Present value $(3,903)
Working :
Present Value Calculation = P x ( (1- ( 1 + r )^-10) / r
Revenue = $21,000 x ( (1- ( 1 + 0.075 )^-10) / 0.075 = 144,146
O&M Costs = $7,000 x ( (1- ( 1 + 0.075 )^-10) / 0.075 = 48,049
Answer:
Horizontal merger
Explanation:
An horizontal merger is a consolidation or merging of companies that are the same industry. Merging of companies in the same industry helps the companies to have a greater market share of the industry.
As seen in the question below, both companies are beer companies and are consolidating or merging to form the largest beer company in the world. This wold give them a global coverage as opposed to the few countries they were restricted to before the merger.
