Answer:

a.  450 tours per month

b.  $850 per month

c.  CM Ratio = 0.7

d.  

1.  Increase

2.  Decrease

3.  No Effect

Explanation:

<u>The questions are:</u>

<u>a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even</u>

<u>b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200</u>

<u>c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)</u>

<u>d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point. </u>

<em>1. A decrease in tour prices.</em>

<em>2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).</em>

<em>3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.</em>

<u />

<u />

<u>Solution:</u>

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 =  <u>450 tours per month</u>

<u></u>

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = <u>$850</u>

<u></u>

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

Loss is the value of the economic surplus that is forgone when a market is not allowed to adjust to its competitive equilibrium.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

True (Dead-weight loss )

Explanation:

When the market is not allowed to adjust towards the equilibrium the economics efficiency is lost. When the supply is excessive compared to demand some part of supply remains intact, which means that small of amount of supply does not contribute to economics and allocation efficiency and considered as a dead-weight loss. The supply is forgone because the market is not allowed to stabilise.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Free trade.

Explanation:

This theoretical policy can be explained to be certain laws under which the government is seen to impose absolutely no tariffs, taxes, or duties on imports, or quotas on exports. Therefore, it is directly seen to be the opposite of protectionism, a defensive trade policy intended to eliminate the possibility of foreign competition. It is seen in terms of unrestricted measures in importation and also exportation of goods in and out of a country.

In the world of our own, which is of the recent times, this policy implementation is done by means of a formal and mutual agreement of the nations which are seen to be involved. Also this policy in some cases may simply be the absence of any trade restrictions.
