Answer:

E) managers formulate plans that are based on "what-if" scenarios that are about the future

Explanation:

When you are carrying on a planning exercise, you must try to simulate possible business scenarios and determine the different possible outcomes for your project.

For example, in scenario 1 you might include very positive variables, e.g. if we have a high selling price, low costs, high demand, low taxes, what will be our net income. In scenario 2, if our sales are not that high, what will happen to our income. In scenario 3, if our costs might be higher than expected or taxes might increase, what will happen. And so on until you cover most of the possibilities.

If a project is profitable and has a positive NPV only with very favorable scenarios, then you should weigh how possible are those favorable scenarios. You should also determine how risky your investment becomes if something changes. Sometimes even a small change can make a project fail.

Answer:

                                                                                                   Automated

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit)            $585,000            $585,000

Variable expenses                                        409,500               351,000

Contribution margin                                       175,500              234,000

Fixed expenses                                              180,000              252,000

Net operating loss                                          $(4,500)           $( 18,000)

New Cm ratio=  Contribution Margin/ Sales Revenue

                      = $ 234,000 $ 585,000 = 0.4

Break-even point in  dollars=  Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Cost/ Sales)

                                            =  252,000/ 1- (351,000/ 585,000)

                                             = 252,000/ 1-0.6

                                               = 252,000/0.4= $ 630,000

The resulting $ 630,000 is the break even point at which neither a loss nor a profit is incurred.This can be checked as follows.

Sales                                                                         $ 630,000

Variable Costs  ( 60 % $ 630,000)                          $ 378,000

Contribution Margin                                                   $ 252,000

Less Fixed Expense                                                   <u>$ 252,000</u>

Profit                                                                           <u>       0            </u>

Break even point in units =  Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin in units

                                         = $ 252,000/ (30-18)

                                          =$ 252,000/ $ 12= 21,000 units

Two Contribution format Income Statements:

                                                                                                   Automated

Sales (26,000 units at $30 per unit)           $780,000            $780,000

Variable expenses                                        546,000               468,000

Contribution margin                                       234,000                312,000

Fixed expenses                                              180,000              252,000

Net operating Profit                                     $ 54,000                $ 60,000

Working:

Variable Costs per unit = $ 409500/19500=  $ 21

After reduction variable costs = $ 21- $3= $ 18

"You want to invest your savings of $20,000 in government securities for the next 2 years. Currently, you can invest either in a
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the former case that is investment in security that pays interest of 8% per year for the next 2 years , there is provision of fixed interest rate . That means one can be assured of interest rate of 8 % for two years but he can not get benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate if it  rises above 8 % after one year .

In case of investment in  security that matures in 1 year but pays only 6% interest , one can take the benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate rises above 8 % . So if there is likelihood that interest rate can rise above 8 % in future , one should invest in 6% security for one year and reinvest it after one year , in the same security or in other security which fetches higher rate of interest .

Apart from that , if there is a contingent liability of paying after one year , one can not go in for 2 year security as it will have to break prematurely , that will result in loss of interest .

So due to situation described above,  one should prefer investment in one year security .

The annual average CPI for 2016 was 240.5. If the CPI for 2010 was 218.1, then what was the inflation rate for the years 2010-20
aksik [14]

Answer: 9.31%

Explanation:

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is able to check the price change per year by pricing a fixed basket of goods in different years. It can be used to calculate inflation with the formula;

Inflation rate = (CPI target year - CPI base year / CPI base year) *100

= \frac{240.5-218.1}{218.1} * 100%

=9.31%
