Answer:

Category 6 cable runs for each network device with fiber optic feeds in/out of the buildings.

Explanation:

Remember, we are told to consider the fact that the company has a medium-sized budgetary constraint, meaning we should pick an alternative networking component option that is cost-effective and yet serves the same purpose.

Since part of the requirements is that the networking components is a fast connection between client and server systems, a Category 6 (Cat6) cable has the ability to achieve speeds of up to 10 Gbps (Gigabyte per second). Meaning? it can meet the fast connection requirements at a reduced cost.

Answer:

A) The presidents' calculation is wrong because he is dividing the total cost by the number of students. He is not taking into account the effect of fixed cost in the cost structure. The university should accept more students so the fixed costs will distribute in a larger number of students.

B) Fixed costs= $18000000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Midstate University is trying to decide whether to allow 100 more students to the university.

Tuition is $5000 per year.

The controller has determined the following schedule of costs:

- 4000 students= $30,000,000

- 4100students= $30,300,000

- 4200 students= $30,600,000

- 4300 students= $30,900,000

The current enrollment is 4200 students.

B) Every 100 students the costs increase by $300000. This means that each student increase costs by $3000.

Fixed costs= Total cost - variable cost* number of students

Fixed costs= 30600000 - 4200*3000= $18000000

Ferkil Corporation manufacturers a single product that has a selling price of $25.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $65,000 per

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

8,000 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $25.00 per unit

Total fixed expenses = $65,000 per year

Break even sales in units = 6,500

Target profit = $15,000

Break-even sales in dollar value:

= Break even sales in units × Selling price per unit

= 6,500 × $25.00 per unit

= $162,500

Break-even Point = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin per Unit

$162,500 = $65,000 ÷ Contribution Margin per Unit

Contribution Margin per Unit = $65,000 ÷ $162,500

= $0.4 per unit

Sales amount:

= (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= ($65,000 + $15,000) ÷ $0.4 per unit

= $200,000

Therefore,

Sales in units = Sales in amount ÷ Selling price per unit

= $200,000 ÷ $25

= 8,000 units
