Answer:

The Margin of safety is $100,000

Explanation:

Price = Sales / number of units = $1,700,000 / 8500 = $200

Contribution margin ratio is the ratio of contribution margin to the sales value. It measure the ratio that contributes in the recovery of fixed cost and making profit.

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sale price = $60 / $200 = = 0.3 = 30%

Break-even is the level of sales at which business has no profit no loss situation.

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $480,000 / 30% = $1600,000

Margin of safety is the level of sales at which the business is safe from making loss. Margin of safety measures the profit after the break-even point.

Margin of Safety = Total sales - Break-even point = $1,700,000 - $1,600,000

= $100,000

In 3-4 sentences describe how economic liberty helps water the "money tree" in a free enterprise.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business

Explanation:

Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).

What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.

Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?

That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.

Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is D. The change in quantity demanded of a good that results from a change in price, making the good more or less expensive relative to other goods, holding constant the effect of the price change on consumer purchasing power

Explanation:

Substitution effect is a concept in which, as the price of a good or service increases, less of the good or service is substituted for other less expensive.

For example, if the price of Pepsi were to rise, the substitution effect would cause the consumer to buy less of it and substitute more coca-cola for now relatively more expensive Pepsi.

Option A. is wrong because we are talking about the quantity demanded and not just demand. (Please take note).

laila [671]

Answer:

a. $24,000

b. $9,000

Explanation:

a. The amount of income or loss from the partnership is limited to the share of the loss rather than its partnership interest

In the given case, the partnership interest is $45,000 and the share of his loss is $24,000

So, $24,000 is reported in his individual income tax return

b. The computation of the Wilson's basis in his partnership interest is shown below:

= Basis in his partnership interest - share of the loss -  cash distribution received from the partnership

= $45,000 - $24,000 - $12,000

= $9,000
