Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus refers to the benefit or surplus that a consumer get from purchasing the product. It is the difference between consumer's willingness to pay and the selling price of the product.

If the outcome of this difference is positive then there will be a consumer surplus and if the outcome of this difference is negative then there will be no consumer surplus.

Total consumer surplus:

= consumer surplus for Jung + consumer surplus for Eddie

= ($85 - $70) + $0

= $15

Eddie has zero consumer surplus because selling price is higher than his willingness price for the jacket.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a.  450 tours per month

b.  $850 per month

c.  CM Ratio = 0.7

d.  

1.  Increase

2.  Decrease

3.  No Effect

Explanation:

<u>The questions are:</u>

<u>a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even</u>

<u>b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200</u>

<u>c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)</u>

<u>d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point. </u>

<em>1. A decrease in tour prices.</em>

<em>2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).</em>

<em>3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.</em>

<u />

<u />

<u>Solution:</u>

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 =  <u>450 tours per month</u>

<u></u>

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = <u>$850</u>

<u></u>

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

Answer:

In California, if the tip is included in the service charge, Anne's employer must pay taxes for them. The employer is required to pay for these taxes in California, not the employee. Even though tips are not part of an employee's wage, they are still taxable. This means that Anne must include the $51 in her AGI.

Arisa [49]

Answer: $3,580.30 (converted to 2decimal places).

Antwone need to deposit " $3,580.30008” into the account each semi-annual period in order to take his vacation in 2 years

Explanation:

By using compound interest formula below to solve the question

A = p ( 1 + r/n)^nt

A = amount (future value)= $3,800

P = principal (present value) ?

r = annual nominal rate = 3%= 0.03

n = today number of compounding years = semiannually (2 interest payments period in a year) = 2

t = time in years =2

3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.03/2)^2(2)

3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.015 )^4

3,800 = p ( 1.015 ) ^4

3,800 = 1.06136355 p

divide both sides by 1.06136355

p = 3,800 / 1.06136355

p = $3,580.30008

≈$3,580.30 ( rounded off to 2d.p)
