Answer:

a. Breakeven in units is 2200 units

b. Break even in  dollars is $1650

c. The answer is A. make a loss

Explanation:

a.

The breakeven points in units is the point or number of units where the total revenue equals total cost and there is no profit or no loss. Below the breakeven quantity, the firm is operating at a loss and above it, it is operating at a profit.

The break even point in unit can be calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution per unit. The formula for break even point in units is:

Breakeven in units = Fixed Costs / contribution per unit

Contribtuion per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Break even in units = 550 / (0.75 - 0.5)   = 2200 units/scissors

b.

The break even point in dollars is the value of sales at which the company will breakeven and will make no profit and no loss. The break even point in dollars can be calculated by multiplying the break even point in units by the selling price per unit. Alternatively, it can also be calculated by dividing the fixed costs by contribution margin ratio.

Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price - variable cost) / selling price

CM ratio = (0.75 - 0.5) / 0.75 = 0.3333 or 33.33%

Breakeven in dollars = 2200 * 0.75 = $1650

or

Break even in dollars = 550 / ((0.75-0.5) / 0.75)   = $1650

c.

As 600 units is less than the breakeven number of units (2200 units) , it will make a loss.

Standard, Inc. reported EBIT of $35 million for last year. Depreciation expense totaled $20 million and capital expenditures cam
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

$710.84 million

Explanation:

Net income = $35 million

Depreciation = $20 million

Capital expenditures = $7 million

Tax rate = 21%

D/E ratio = 0.4

Growth rate = 6%

Equity beta = 1.25

So, firm's asset beta = Equity beta/(1 + D/E*(1-T))

= 1.25/(1 + 0.4*(1-0.21))

= 0.94985

So, Free Cash Flow to the Firm= NI + Depreciation - Capital expenditures

= 35 + 20 - 7

= $48 million

Risk free rate Rf = 5%

Market risk premium = 7.5%

So, firm cost of capital using CAPM is Rf + Beta*(MRP)

Kc = 5 + 0.94985*7.5

Kc = 12.1239

So, Firms value using constant dividend growth model:

FV = FCF*(1+g)/(Kc-g)

FV = 48*1.06 / 0.121239-0.06

FV = 50.88 / 0.061239

FV = 830.8430901876255

FV = $830.84 million

Debt = $120 million

Market Value of equity = FV - Debt

Market Value of equity = $830.84 million - $120 million

Market Value of equity = $710.84 million

Words like denigrate, the undersigned, and expropriate are examples of high-level diction and should be used liberally in busine
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Communication through business messages should convey the information in the simplest words so that the other party can easily understand what is being said. It also needs to be brief and to the point.

Using high level diction liberally in business communication leads to unclear messaging. The reader may not know the meaning of the words so the aim of communication will be defeated.

Also high level diction can have different meanings in different circumstances.

High level diction should be used sparingly, and simple diction is preferred.
