The General Store at State University is an auxiliary bookstore located near the dormitories that sells academic supplies, toile

tries, sweatshirts and T-shirts, magazines, packaged food items, and canned soft drinks and fruit drinks. The manager of the store has noticed that several pizza deliv¬ery services near campus make frequent deliveries. The manager is therefore considering selling pizza at the store. She could buy premade frozen pizzas and heat them in an oven. The cost of the oven and freezer would be $27,000. The frozen pizzas cost $3.75 each to buy from a distributor and to prepare (including labor and a box). To be competitive with the local delivery services, the manager believes she should sell the pizzas for $8.95 apiece. The manager needs to write up a proposal for the university's director of auxiliary services. a. Determine how many pizzas would have to be sold to break even.b. If the General Store sells 20 pizzas per day, how many days would it take to break even?c. The manager of the store anticipates that once the local pizza delivery services start losing business they will react by cutting prices. If after a month (30 days) the manager has to lower the price of a pizza to $7.95 to keep demand at 20 pizzas per day, as she expects, what will the new break-even point be, and how long will it take the store to break even?

Answer:

A) it will need to sale 5193 pizzas

B) selling 20 per day it will take 260 days

C) if price decrease by 1 dollar to 7.95 the new BEP will be 6,429 dollars

and will take 322 days to achieve break even

Explanation:

fixed cost: 27,000 oven

sales price 8.95

variable cost 3.75 frozen pizza:

contribution margin: 5.2

break even:

27,000 dollars / 5.2 dollar per pizza= 5.192,30

5,192 pizzas / 20 per day = 259.6 days

If sale price decrease by one dollar:

27,000 dollar / 4.2 contribution per pizza=  6.428,57

6,429 / 20 per day = 321.4

Answer:

A: 5,192 pizzas

B: 260 days

C: the break even point will be 6,429 dollars in 321 days.

Explanation:

Firstly:

Cost of the oven and freezer = $27,000

Cost of frozen pizzas = $3.75

Proposed sale price of pizza = $8.95

The actual sale price = proposed sale price - cost of the frozen pizza = $8.95 - $3.75

= $5.2 each

A. For the pizza to be sold to break even, we will divide the cost of oven and freezer by the actual saleprice.

Thus:

Break even= $27000 divide by $5.2 = $5,192.307.

B. If the General Store sells 20 pizzas per day, the number of days to break even will be given by:

- Dividing the break even price by the number of pizza per day.

5192.306 divide by 20 (equals) = 259.615 days approximately 260 days.

C. Since the price was reduced from $8.95 to $7.95 with a significant reduction in just a dollar, the actual sales price will be $7.95 minus $3.75 which is equal to $4.2.

Therefore the break even will be;

$27000 divide by $4.2 = $6428.571

Approximately $6,429.

And the number of days to break even will be; $6428.571 divide 20 pizzas = 321.421 days.

Approximately 321 days.

Data for Hugh’s Corporation is provided below. Hugh’s recently acquired some risky assets that caused its beta to increase by 30
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The stock's new expected rate of return is 14%

Explanation:

Ke=Rf+beta(Mrp-Rf)

Ke is the cost of capital is 10.20%

Rf i the risk free rate which is unknown

beta is 1.00

(Mrp-Rf) is the market risk premium at 6%

10.20%=Rf+1.0(6%)

10.20%=Rf+6.0%

Rf=10.20-6.00%

Rf=4.20%

Beta for the risky asset is 1.00*130%=1.3

New risk rate is the old rate plus inflation rate of 2.00%

new risk free=4.2%+2%=6.2%

The expected return on the new asset is computed thus:

Ke=6.2%+1.3(6%)

Ke=6.2%+7.8%

Ke=14%

Howie Long has just learned he has won a $500,000 prize in the lottery. The lottery has given him two options for receiving the
Contact [7]

This decision will depend on whether or not Howie needs immediate money and the rate of inflation. Assuming there is no inflation, as the issue did not mention it, and Howie prefers the decision that yields the greatest financial reward, simply calculate and lower the tax in each situation, and then compare them.

<u>Scenario 1:</u> Total receipt upon ticket delivery with 46% deduction

46% = 46 \ 100 = 0.46

To find the value to be deducted, let's multiply the total by 0.46

500,000 * 0.46 = $ 230,000

That way Howie would get $ 500,000- $ 230000 = $ 270,000

<u>Scenario 2:</u> 25 installments of $ 36,000 with 25% deduction

The gross total will be 25x $ 36,000 = $ 900,000

Now it is enough to decrease 25% of the total amount, to find the amount of the tax.

25% = 25 \ 100 = 0.25

$ 900,000 * 0.25 = $ 225,000

Finally, simply decrease the amount received by the tax amount:

$ 900,000- $ 225,000 = $ 675,000

Therefore, Howie would be better off if he opted for the installment payment.

What annual rate of return is implied on a $2,500 loan taken next year when $5,375 must be repaid in year 6? (Do not round inter
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

16.54%

Explanation:

We have to applied the rate formula that is shown in the attachment.

The NPER shows the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $2,500

Future value or Face value = $5,375

PMT = $0

NPER = 6 years - 1 years = 5 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  the annual rate of return is implied is 16.54%
