Answer:

$80

Explanation:

In this company, every dollar spent in labor has equal marginal product than every dollar spent in capital.

If we spent an additional $20 in labor and the marginal product output is $40, it is a 1:2 relationship (for every dollar spent in labor we get $2 of product output).

If the company spends $40 in capital, if it has the same marginal product output as labor (1:2 relationship), then its marginal product output will be $80.

Russell Preston delivers parts for several local auto parts stores. He charges clients $1.30 per mile driven. Russell has determ
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A. Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even?

break even formula = total fixed costs / contribution margin

  • total fixed costs = $1,220
  • contribution margin = $1.30 - $0.29 = $1.01

break even formula = $1,220 / $1.01 = 1,207.9 ≈ 1,208 miles

B. Assume Russell drove 2,500 miles last month. Without making any additional calculations, determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month.

if he drove 2,500 he made a profit because it is more than the break even point.

C. Determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $2,135.00 in profit.

($1,220 + $2,135) / $1.01 = 3,321.7 ≈ 3,322 miles

D. Prepare a contribution margin income statement assuming Russell drove 2,500 miles last month.

total revenue                         $3,250

<u>- variable costs                       ($725)</u>

contribution margin              $2,525

<u>- fixed costs                         ($1,220)</u>

net income                            $1,305

E. Use the above information to calculate Russell’s degree of operating leverage.

Degree of operating leverage = contribution margin / operating income = $2,525 / $3,250 = 0.7769 or 77.69%

Forsyth County charges a 7% sales tax. If you bought a new printer form $3250.00, what is the total cost for the printer?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Total cost = $3477.5

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Sales tax = 7%

Cost price = $3250.00

To find the total cost for the printer;

First of all, we would determine the sales tax

Sales tax = 7/100 * 3250

Sales tax = 7 * 32.5

Sales tax = $227.5

Now, we can find the total cost;

Total cost = sales tax + cost price

Total cost = 227.5 + 3250

Total cost = $3477.5
