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.

Consider the following three stocks. (a) Stock A is expected to provide a dividend of $10 a share forever. (b) Stock B is expect
Archy [21]

Answer:

The stock A is most valuable as the fair value of Stock A is $100 which is more than the fair value of Stock B ( $83.33) and Stock C ($34.28).

Explanation:

to calculate the fair price of the stocks, we will use the DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

Let r be the discount rate which is 10%.

a.

The stock is like a perpetuity as it pays a constant dividend after equal intervals of time and for an indefinite period.

The price of this stock can be calculated as,

Price or P0 =  Dividend / r

P0 = 10 / 0.1  = $100

b.

The constant growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of this stock as its dividends are growing at a constant rate forever.

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend for the next period
  • r is the cost of equity or discount rate
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

P0 = 5 / (0.1 - 0.04)

P0 = $83.33

c.

The price of this stock can be calculated using the present of dividends.

P0 = 5 / (1+0.1)  +  5 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.1)^2  +  5 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.1)^3  +  

5 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.1)^4  +  5 * (1+0.2)^4 / (1+0.1)^5  +  5 * (1+0.2)^5 / (1+0.1)^6

P0 = $34.28

mezya [45]

Answer:

an example for a company that offers back customers credit is Jimmy Johns, they have online rewards that you can sign up with you or phone number or online to earn points for your meals. When you sign up they promote you to go buy a sandwich for your first free sandwich, after that every time you come back and buy something you will be racking up points for free things like sandwiches, chips, cookies, pickles, and drinks.They also have special offers like on your birthday you get a free sub (and after you sign up).  If I wanted to do something similar with my business I make would make a rewards systems where you earn points for discounts.

Explanation:

Identify a business idea with which you can proceed. For example, you start a business that designs and creates landscaping for customers (front garden space, back patio, and so on).

This type of business provides opportunity for consumer credit, as most people would not want to pay a huge amount upfront in cash or even through credit cards.

Since the only other way is to offer credit facility, you will have to make a list of questions. You will then have to research the customer’s credit worthiness.

Check for the customer’s credit rating with the credit- and information-management companies, such as TransUnion or Equifax.

Check for the customers’ current financial positions. You can do so by finding out whether they have a secure job or a well-performing business, number of earning members in the family, and so on.

Depending on the information you acquire, you may decide either to offer complete credit, with a relatively shorter credit period, or only offer a certain percentage of credit spread across a wider credit period.
