Answer:

A. 9,000 units

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point is shown below:

= (Fixed cost) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

New Fixed costs = $20,000 + $13,750 = $33,750

And, the contribution margin per unit would be

= $2.50 + $2.50 × 50%

= $2.50 + $1.25

= $3.75

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the units would be equal to

= $33,750 ÷ $3.75

= 9,000 units

You are considering investing $1,000 in a T-bill that pays 0.05 and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with 2 risky securities, X
Leokris [45]

Answer:

% in T bills = 18.92%, % in P = 81.08%

Explanation:

Portfolio return = Weighted average return

Return of portfolio P = 0.14*0.6 + 0.10*0.4

Return of portfolio P = 0.124

Let % money in T bills be x

0.11 = 0.05*x + 0.124*(1-x)

0.11 = 0.05x + 0.124 - 0.124x

0.014 = 0.074x

x = 18.92%

Hence, % in T bills = 18.92%, % in P = 81.08%

harry should add $20 per pound

The method of identifying the advantages and disadvantages of various options by looking at the incremental impact on total revenue and total cost caused by a very modest change in the value or input of each alternative (just one unit). Instead of making decisions based on totals or averages, marginal analysis encourages those that focus on small or gradual changes to resources. Examining the costs and possible gains of particular business operations or financial choices is known as marginal analysis. The objective is to ascertain whether the benefits from the change in activity will be great enough to outweigh the costs.

In a certain economy, the components of planned spending are given by:
viktelen [127]

Answer:

B) 790-700r

Explanation:

Aggregate Expenditure is the expenditure by all the sectors of economy. By Households = Consumption (C), By Firms = Investment (I), By government = Govt spending (G) & tax leakages (T), By Rest world = Next Exports (NX).

Autonomous Expenditure is the level of expenditure in economy, which doesn't depend on level of Income = Y.

AE = C + I + G + NX

[500 + 0.8 (Y-150) - 300r] + [200 - 400r] + 200 + 10

500 + 0.8Y - 120 - 300r + 200 - 400r + 210

500 - 120 + 200 + 210 - 300r - 400r + 0.8y  

790 - 700r + 0.8y

As, it can be seen that the part of AE = '790 - 700r', excluding '0.8y' : is not dependent on Income Y. So, it is Autonomous Expenditure
