Answer:

The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.

Explanation:

1. for the company:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 240000/750000

                               = 0.32

fixed cost = 182000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 182000/0.32

                                       = $568750

2.  for the north region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/600000

                               = 0.20

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.20

                                       = $320000

3. for the south region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/150000

                               = 0.80

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.80

                                       = $80000

Therefore, The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.

M13-9 Inferring Financial Information Using the Current Ratio [LO 13-4] Mystic Laboratories reported total assets of $10,500,000
zaharov [31]

Answer: $6,410,000

Explanation:

The current ratio calculates the ability of a company to meet its short term liabilities.

A current ratio greater than 1 indicates that a company is more able to meet its short term obligations. Mystic Laboratories with a current ratio of 1.3 has a greater ability to meet its short term obligations.

Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

Total assets = current assets + non current assets

$10,500,000 = current assets + $2,167,000

Current assets = $8,333,000

1.3 = $8,333,000 / current liabilities

Current liabilites = $6,410,000

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The maximum price that should be paid for one share of the company today is $54.895

Explanation:

The price of a stock that pays a dividend that grows at a constant rate forever can be calculated using the constant growth model of Dividend discount model (DDM) approach. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • D1 is the expected dividend for the next period or D0 * (1+g)
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

SO, the maximum that should be paid for this stock today is:

P0 = 2.2 * (1 + 0.048)  /  (0.09 - 0.048)

P0 = $54.895 rounded off to $54.90
