15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Variable production costs = $2,862,000      106

Variable expenses                     378,000         14

Total variable costs              $3,240,000    $120

Contribution =                       $1,080,000      $40

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000

A company has annual sales of $160 million, a net profit margin of 4%, and total assets of $90 million. It carries $10 million i
sasho [114]

Answer:

18.29%

Explanation:

Return on Equity is the net profit available for equity/ Total equity value.

Total equity = Total assets - Total debt

= $90 million - $55 million = $35 million

Earnings for equity = Annual sales \times net profit margin 4%

= $160 million \times 4% = 6.4 million

Therefore, return on equity = \frac{Net\ profit\ for\ equity}{Total\ value\ of\ equity}

= \frac{6.4\ million}{35\ million} \times 100 = 18.2857

Therefore, ROE = 18.29%
