Answer:
The minimum the company must charge for fire insurance policies in California subdivision is $2,252.
Explanation:
We have the chance of a wildfire destroying all the homes in the subdivision is: 1/41 or nearly 2.44%.
The minimum the company must charge for fire insurance and still maintain a positive expected value is calculated as:
The average cost to build a home in the subdivision * the chance of a wildfire destroying all the homes in the subdivision = 92,297 * 2.44% = $2,252.
So, the answer is $2,252.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years. (a)
Explanation:
to calculate the percentage deflation, we will simply calculate the percentage change in price between the years stated. This is calculated as follows:
% change = 
Note that the negative sign shows a deflation.
if you use the same method for years two and three, you should get -3%, using P₁ as 142.5 and p₂ as 138.2. Hence option 'a' is correct.
Answer:
weighted-average contribution margin= $4.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Hurricane lamps account for 70 percent of the units sold, while the flashlights account for the remaining 30 percent of unit sales. The unit sales price of the lamps is $9.00, and the unit variable cost is $4.00. The unit sales price of the flashlights is $7.00, and the unit variable cost is $3.00.
<u>To calculate the weighted-average contribution margin, we need to calculate first the weighted-average selling price and weighted average variable cost for each product.</u>
weighted average selling price= (selling price* weighted sales participation)
weighted average selling price= (0.7*9 + 0.3*7)= $8.4
weighted average variable cost= (variable cost* weighted sales participation)
weighted average variable cost= (0.7*4 + 0.3*3)= 3.7
<u>Now, we can calculate the weighted average contribution margin:</u>
weighted-average contribution margin= 8.4 - 3.7= $4.7

Answer:
$24,000
Explanation:
Product A Product B Product C
sales 70,000 97000
Variable cost 37000 51000
Contribution margin 33000 46000
Avoidable cost 10,000 20000
Unavoidable cost 7000 12000 9400
Operating income 16000 14000
Total operating income if product C is dropped is (16000+14000 +3400-9400)
=$24000
Please note that Giant company with still incur the unavoidable cost even if the product is dropped. This is assumed to be a portion of the fixed overhead expenses allocated to the product in the course of normal operation.However , the loss made of 3400 will be avoided as well
