Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In June, Bedford Company sold 350 widgets. The average sales price was $34. During the month, fixed costs were $6,320 and variable costs were 40% of sales.

F<u>irst, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:</u>

Unitary variable cost= 34*0.4= $13.6

<u>Now, we can determine the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio:</u>

contribution margin per unit= selling price - unitary variable cost

contribution margin per unit= 34 - 13.6= $20.4

contribution margin ratio= contribution margin per unit/selling price

contribution margin ratio= 20.4/34

contribution margin ratio= 0.6

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 6,320/20.4

Break-even point in units= 310 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 6,320/0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $10,533

<u>To calculate the margin of safety, we will use the following formula:</u>

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 350*34 - 10,533

Margin of safety= $1,367

<u>Finally, the desired profit is $4,000:</u>

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units=  (6,320 + 4,000) / 20.4

Break-even point in units= 506 units

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 10,320/0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $17,200

A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) examined the responsiveness of consumers to changes in gasoline price
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Gasoline consumption will decrease by a small amount.

Explanation:

A coefficient of elasticity of less than one indicates that demand is inelastic.

Inelastic demand means that there's little or no change in quantity demanded when there's a change in the price of a product.

Quantity demanded has little or no sensitivity to changes in price.

If the coefficient of elasticity is greater than one, demand is elastic.

Elastic demand is when a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

If the coefficient of elasticity were equal to one, it means that demand is unit elastic.

Unit elastic demand means a change in price leads to the same proportional change on quantity demanded.

In the logistics-systems design matrix, volume, cost and speed of delivery are three variables (assume three levels: low, modera
Digiron [165]

Answer:

High volume

Low cost

Moderate speed of delivery.

Explanation:

High - volume : The train can a large volume of goods at a single time as high number of coaches can be added to the train.

Low - cost : As the volume of goods carried in a single time by train is very large therefore the cost of transportation reduces to lowest than other means like air logistics.

Moderate speed of delivery : The speed of logistic delivery from one part to another part is comparatively lower than the air logistics transport system but is more than the road  logistics transport system in terms of long distance like in different states.

On January 1, year 1, Dave received 1,000 shares of restricted stock from his employer, RRK Corporation. On that date, the stock
butalik [34]

Answer:

Taxes on January 1, year 1= $1400

Taxes on Dec 31, year 4=$3300

Explanation:

The question relates to 'EQUITY GRANT', which is some sort of compensation given to somebody, especially/specifically to employees of an entity provided that certain conditions/vesting requirements are satisfied by the employee.

Now on January 1, year 1 Dave has received 1000 shares, for him the shares received is treated is income for Dave, as the shares are being offered against certain services rendered by Dave to RRK corporation. So on January 1 Dave would record income and pay income tax as follows:

Value of shares on Jan 1/ income= 1000×$7

Value of shares on Jan 1/ income= $7000

<em>Lets assume income tax is 20% and marginal tax rate is 10%,</em> the tax consequences would be as follows:

TAXES = $7000×20%

TAXES = $1400

There will be no tax consequences at the vesting date and at the end of year 4 (the date when he sells them) there will be tax consequences of $4000.

At year 4 = 1000×$40

Amount realized= $40000 -$7000

Taxes at marginal rate= $33000×10%

Taxes at marginal rate= $3300

(Note: $7000 is subtracted because it's already present in $40000).

Devin is, a private investor, purchases $1,000 par value bonds with a 12 percent coupon rate and a 9 percent yield to maturity.
melisa1 [442]
The par value of a bond is the amount issuer promises to pay the bond-holder on the maturity date.

The overall return depends on when the bond was bought.  The closer to the maturity date, the lower the overall return, or yield-to-maturity (YTM).
If the YTM has been quoted as 9%, it means that the effective yield from today to the maturity date is 9%, according to the current price, and accounting for the 12% coupon, if applicable.
So Devin will earn a return of 9%.
