Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold
If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:
(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000
24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.
Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units
We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!
Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833
Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)
Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72
10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200
Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000
Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)
Answer:
D) It is equivalent to 4.06% paid annually
Explanation:
Since it is not talking about annuity and simple compound interest, therefore assuming investment value = $100 then interest will be as follows:
Interest for each quarter = 
= 1%
But this 1% will be paid on the compounded value
Interest at end of Quarter 1 = $100 X 1% = $1
Compounded value at end of Quarter 1 = $100 + $1 = $101
Interest at end of Quarter 2 = $101 X 1% = $1.01
Compounded value at end of Quarter 2 = $101 + $1.01 = $102.01
Interest at end of Quarter 3 = $102.01 X 1% = $1.0201
Compounded value at end of Quarter 3 = $102.01 + $1.0201 = $103.0301
Interest at end of Quarter 4 = $103.0301 X 1% = $1.030301
Compounded value at end of Quarter 4 = $103.0301 + $1.030301 = $104.060401
Now net return annually = $4.060401/$100 = 4.06%
Final Answer
D) It is equivalent to 4.06% paid annually
Answer:
c. shoe leather cost.
Explanation:
During times of high inflation, interest rates usually go up. Money in the banks earns higher interest compared to when inflation is low. When the inflation rate is high, the prices of goods and services increase rapidly, resulting in a reduction in currency's purchasing power.
Individuals and firms opt to keep as little cash in hand as possible. Holding a lot of cash at such times is not prudent as banks offer high-interest rates. Keeping cash become costly due to currency depreciation. As firms and households keep most of the money in banks, they incur a lot of transport costs and time going to banks to withdraw cash for normal expenses. The time and transport costs incurred are referred to as shoe leather costs.
<h2>No. "Household production" does not contribute much to the GDP.</h2>
Explanation:
To arrive at the reason, first we need to understand the term "GDP" and "shortcoming"
Shortcoming means failure to meet certain expectations.
GDP: It is the snapshot of the economy which speaks about the production in certain period.
Since the household production does not come under market transaction and since GDP involves only market transaction, household production cannot be considered and thus it is not a serious reason for shortcoming of GDP.
