Answer:

The company's CM ratio: 0.5

Its break-even point in units: 14,300 units and in dollars:  $286,000

Explanation:

Variable expense per unit = Variable expenses/ number of units = $128,000/12,800 = $10

The contribution margin ratio is calculated by using following formula:

Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Total Variable cost)/Sales  = ($256,000 - $128,000)/$256,000 = 0.5

The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:

Break-even point in units = Fixed expense/(Selling price per unit-Variable expense per unit) =  $143,000/($20 - $10) = 14,300 units

Break-even point in dollars = 14,300 units x Selling price per unit = 14,300 x $20 = $286,000

Suppose that a firm operating in perfectly competitive market sells 200 units of output at a price of $3 each. Which of the foll
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option i.

Explanation:

A firm is operating in a perfectly competitive market.  

The firm is selling 200 units of output.  

The price of each unit of output is $3.  

In a perfectly competitive market, a single firm faces a horizontal line demand curve. This horizontal line represents demand, price line, average revenue, and marginal revenue.  

So if the price is $3, it implies that the marginal revenue and average revenue is also equal to $3.  

The total revenue is $600.
