Answer:

$1.50 per bag

Explanation:

The price that yields a fair rate of return is also the price that makes  economic profit = 0. That sales price = average total cost. So we first must determine total costs for producing 20 million bags:

  • total costs = fixed costs + variable costs = $10 million + (20 million x $1) = $30 million

Now we need to determine average total cost:

  • average total cost at 20 million bags = $30 million / 20 million bags = $1.50 per bag

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: 4%

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year and that at the end of the year, retiree benefits paid by the trustee were $28 million and cash invested in the pension fund was $32 million.

Based on the above scenario, the percentage rate of return on plan assets goes thus:

Opening balance of plan assets 1200

Add:- Actual return = 48

Add:- contributions = 32

Less :- retiree benefits = -28

Closing balance of plan assets = 1252

It should be noted that the actual return is the balancing figure which is calculated as:

= 1252 + 28 - 1200 - 32

= 48

The percentage rate of return on plan assets will now be:

= 48/1200

=0.04

= 4%
