Premo Pens, Inc. is in the process of developing a new pen to replace its existing top-of-line Executive Model. Market research

has identified the critical features the pen must have and it is estimated that customers would be willing to pay $30 for a pen with these features. Premo's production manager estimates that it will cost $26 to produce the proposed model. The current Executive Model sells for $24 and has a total production cost of $20. A competitor sells a pen similar to the proposed model, but without Premo's patented easy retract feature, for $28. It is estimated to cost the competitor $25 to produce.
Required:
1. If Premo seeks to earn a 20% return on sales on the new model, which of the following represents the target cost for the new pen?
a. $26.00
b. $22.40
c. $24.00
d. $19.80

Answer:

c. $24.00

Explanation:

The computation of the target cost is shown below:

Target cost = Selling price - (Selling price × profit margin)

where,  

Selling price = $30

And, the profit margin is 20%

So, the target cost is  

= $30 - ($30 × 20%)

= $30 - $6

= $24

Basically, by using the above formula, we can find out the target cost after considering the selling price and the profit margin

Answer:

(A) 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

(B) 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

(C) Margin of Safety 40% of Sales

Explanation:

(A)

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

275 - 150 = <u>125 CM per unit</u>

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

\frac{225,000}{125} = 1,800 = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

{units \: sold- BEP_{units} = margin \: of \: safety_{units}

3,000 - 1,800 = 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution per unit. Then the BEP in units and with that the margin of safety in units.

(B)

\frac{Contribution Margin}{Sales Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio

125/275 = 0.45454545 = <u>5/11 CM ratio</u>

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

225,000/(5/11) = 495,000 BEP USD

{current \:sales - BEP_{USD} = margin \: of \: safety

825,000-495,000 = 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution ratio by dividing CM over sales. Then the BEP in dollars and with that the margin of safety in dollars.

<em><u>Important:</u></em> When posible to avoid rounding errors express as fraction iof posible

(C)

\frac{current \:sales - BEP_{USD}}{current \:sales} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety

\frac{330,000}{825,000} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety

Margin of Safety 40%

Triss [41]

Answer:

The risk free will be 3.82%

Explanation:

We post the CAPM formula and how given data

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free             ?

market rate 0.12

premium market market rate - risk free ?

beta(non diversifiable risk) 3.2

Ke = 0.3

Now we post the know values and solve for risk free

0.3= risk-free + 3.2 (0.12 - riskfree)  

0.3 = risk-free + 3.2 \times 0.12 - 3.2riskfree

0.3 = 0.384 - 2.2riskfree

0.3-0.384 = -2.2riskfree

-0.084/-2.2= riskfree

risk free = 0.0381818181818182‬ = 3.82%
