Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But before reaching to the final answers, first determine the contribution margin per unit which is

a. Contribution margin per unit =Sales-Variable cost  

= $80 - $43

= $37 per unit

Now

Breakeven = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin

= $340,400 ÷ $37

= 9,200 units

b.Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost  

= $80 - $46

= $34 per unit

Now

New Breakeven = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin

= $270,000 ÷ 34

= 7,941 units

Explanation:

Expected Return=Respective return*Respective probability

=(20.4*0.67)+(-12.7*0.33)=9.477%

probability Return probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2

0.67          20.4 0.67*(20.4-9.477)^2=79.93899243

0.33          -12.7 0.33*(-12.7-9.477)^2=162.3003786

Total=242.239371%

Standard deviation=[Total probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2/Total probability]^(1/2)

=15.56%(Approx).

shusha [124]

Answer:

The nominal annual percentage cost of its non-free trade credit, based on a 365-day year is 0.2795%

Explanation:

The computation of the nominal annual percentage is shown below:

= Discount rate ÷ (100 - discount rate) × ({Total number of days ÷ payable days} - discount days)

= 2% ÷ ( 100 - 2%) × (365 days ÷ 65 days - 15 days)

= 2% ÷ (98% × 7.3)

= 2% ÷ 7.154

= 0.2795%

The net purchase amount is irrelevant. hence, this part is ignored

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

illusion of control.

Explanation:

The illusion of control is the tendency for people to overestimate their ability to control events; for example, it occurs when someone feels a sense of control over outcomes that they demonstrably do not influence.

In the scenario, although Business has been consistently slow on Fridays in recent months, yet DeMarcus decides to continue with the extra staffing.

This is obviously a case of illusion because he has no control over the external business environment and there is no logical reason to continue with extra staffing.
