Answer:

1,875 units.

Explanation:

Break-even is the point where a company neither generate profit not make loss, or we can say that it the sales at which the operating profit will be zero. It can be calculated for sales volume as-well-as dollar sales. Let's prepare a contribution income statement to calculate the break-even sales in quantity. We know that:

               EBIT / Operating Profit = (SP * Q) - (VC * Q) - Fixed Cost

where

SP = Selling Price

Q = Quantity / Units

VC = Variable cost

As it is understood that the operating profit at break-even is zero, simply put it in the above contribution income statements along with other figures given in the question.

⇒ 0 = (20 * Q) - (12 * Q) - 15,000

OR 15,000 / (20 - 12) = Q

⇒ Break-even units = Q = 1,875 units.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The  value of the stock is $28.57

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Dividend paid at the end of the year, D1 = $2.00 per share

Increase in dividend = $1.50 per share

Growth rate, g = 5% = 0.05

Required rate of return = 12% = 0.12

Now,

Price with constant Dividend Growth model = D1 ÷ ( r - g )

= $2 ÷ ( 0.12 - 0.05 )

= $28.57

Hence,

The  value of the stock is $28.57
