Answer:

6.4%

Explanation:

For computing the minimum yield on investment, first we have to find out the combined ratio which is shown below:

= Projected loss percentage + expense ratio + dividend percentage

= 77.5% + 23.9% + 5%

= 106.4%

So, the minimum yield on investment required is

= 106.4% - 100%

= 6.4%

The 100% is the percentage value

We simply applied the above formula

Piedmont Company segments its business into two regions - North and South.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

1. Company-wide break-even point in dollar sales:

Break even point in dollar sales = (Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses) / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 240,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 30%

Break even point in dollar sales :

=  (122,000 + 52,000) / 30%

= $580,000

2. Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 600,000 * 100%

= 20%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 20%

= $305,000

3. Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 200,000 * 100%

= 60%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 60%

= $101,666.67
