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".

If you cannot separate communication from leadership, why is communication known to be one of the top weaknesses in business lea
aksik [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

If you cannot separate communication from leadership, why is communication known to be one of the top weaknesses in business leadership today?

Because many times, leaders confuse to inform with to communicate, and that is one of their biggest mistakes.

One thing is just to pretend that because your the leader of an organization, you have the right to inform but not listening back to what your team has to say.

Good leaders need to become great leaders accepting the fact that their role is of Communicators, which means they are willing and able to receive feedback. Or better said, to promote feedback in the first place as part of the process of generating understanding in the workplace.

Why is it the leaders’ responsibility to be effective communicators?

The leader has to lead by example. It has to be a great communicator, a good listener. Have a set of skills and abilities to perform under pressure. The leader has to make the toughest decisions. And of course, he has to hire the best individuals to form a true team.

Leaders have to be totally honest about who they are. You cannot pretend to be someone you are not. That is the foundation of what you are about to offer in a relationship.

The leader sets the example of living their own values, so he will have the moral status to ask other people to live by their own values so you can base your relationship on trust.

7nadin3 [17]
