lysis they are assuming a selling price of $2.50 per valve. The total fixed cost associated with producing the valve is $10,000. The variable cost to produce each valve is $2.10. In this analysis, what is the break-even point (BEP) for the valve?

Answer:

break-even point (BEP) = 25,000 items

Explanation:

given data

Selling price  = $2.50

Fixed costs = $10,000

Variable cost = $2.10

solution

we know that Revenue is sum of  Fixed costs and  variable costs

so we use here contribution margin method that is

Contribution margin = $ 2.50 - $ 2.10

Contribution margin  = $ 0.4

so

break-even point (BEP) for the valve is here

break-even point (BEP) = fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin    ...................1

put here value

break-even point (BEP) = \frac{10000}{0.4}  

break-even point (BEP) = 25,000 items

Answer:

Explanation:

Price is sum of:

1. Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years;

2. Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year based on growth at 5%.

Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years:

PV1 = 3*(1+0.30)*0.8929 = 3.90*0.8929 = $3.482

*0.8929 = 1/1.12

PV2 = 3.90*1.30*0.7972 = 5.07*0.7972 = $4.042

PV3 = 5.07*1.30*0.7118 = 6.591*0.7118 = $4.691

PV4 = 6.591*1.30*0.6355 = 8.5683*0.6355 = $5.445

Total = $17.661

Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year:

Market price of the share at the end = 5th year dividend/(Required rate of return - growth rate)

5th year dividend = $8.5683*(1+growth rate) = $8.5683*(1+0.05) = $9

Market price of the share at the end = $9/(0.12-0.05) = $128.57

Present value of $128.57 is 128.57*0.6355(present value interest factor for year 4) = $81.7

So the price of share is $17.661+$81.7 = $99.37

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Present value = $21,804 (approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Periodic payment = $3,200

Number of period = 12

Interest rate = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Present value = ?

Computation of Present value:

Present\ value = PMT[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-0.318630818}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{0.681369182}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 21,803.6188

Present value = $21,804 (approx)
