Answer:

An increase in the unit selling price would most likely increase the net profit margin ratio.

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

An increase in the unit selling price increases the net profit margin ratio.

A decrease in the overall sales volume reduces the total sales thereby reducing the net profit margin ratio.

An increase in operating expenses reduces the net profit thereby reducing the net profit margin ratio.

An increase in cost of goods sold reduces the gross profit, which leads to a reduction in net profit. A decrease in net profit reduces the net profit margin  ratio.

Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of $ 1.50$1.50. Analysts are predicting dividends to grow by $ 0.12$0
klio [65]

Answer:

The price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today is $66.47

Explanation:

In order to calculate the price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today we would have to calculate first the Present value of dividend of next 5 years as follows:

Present value of dividend of next 5 years as follows=

Year Dividend Discount factor Present value      

a             b          c=1.085^-a             d=b*c      

1 $       1.62 0.921659 $       1.49      

2 $       1.74 0.849455 $       1.48      

3 $       1.86 0.782908 $       1.46      

4 $       1.98 0.721574  $       1.43      

5 $       2.10 0.665045 $       1.40      

Total                                   $       7.25

Then, we have to calculate the Present value of dividend after 5 years as follows:

Present value of dividend after 5 years=D5*(1+g)/(Ke-g)*DF5

Present value of dividend after 5 years=$2.10(1+6%)/(8.50%-6%)* 0.665045

Present value of dividend after 5 years=$59.22

Current value of stock=Present value of dividend of next 5 years+ Present value of dividend after 5 years    

Current value of stock= $7.25+$59.22      

Current value of stock=$66.47        

The price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today is $66.47

15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Total variable costs              $3,240,000    $120

Contribution =                       $1,080,000      $40

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000

Ritchie Manufacturing Company makes a product that it sells for $200 per unit. The company incurs variable manufacturing costs o
NARA [144]

Answer :

Break even units = 10,500

Break even amount = $2,100,000

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

a) Break even units = Fixed expense ÷ CM per unit b ÷ (a - c)

= ($466,000 + $269,000) ÷ ($200 - $110 - $20)

= 10,500 units

b) Break even amount = b ÷ (a ÷ c)

= ($466,000 + $269,000) ÷ ($70 ÷ $200)

= $2,100,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Selling price per unit × 100

where,

Contribution margin = Selling price per unit - variable expenses per unit

c) CM per unit Break even units = Fixed expense ÷ Cm per unit

= $735,000 ÷ $70

= 10,500 units

Break even dollars = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $735,000 ÷ 0.35

= $2,100,000

d) Contribution margin income statement:

Sales = 10,500 × $200 = $2,100,000

Less Variable expenses 10,500 × ($110+$20) = $1,365,000

Contribution margin $735,000

Less Fixed Expense $735,000

Net Operating Income = $0
