Answer:

Earning growth rate will be 12 %

Explanation:

We have given that Bennington Enterprises earned $34.07 million this year.

Return equity = 16 % = 0.16

Retained earning = 75 % = 0.75

We have to find the firm's growth rate

We know that growth rate is given by

Growth rate = Return on equity × retained earning

So firm's growth rate will be equal to = 0.16×0.75 = 0.12

Therefore the earning growth rate will be 12 %

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.

LO 3.4If the sales mix in a multi-product environment shifts to a higher volume in low contribution margin products, the break-e
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Option 1 is wrong because in the case of multi-product, breakeven is weighted average which means the sales price will weighted average of sale prices of all the multi-products in the sales mix. If we change the weightings the weighted average costs and selling prices changes and so the contribution changes.

Option 2 is also sligthly wrong because Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases in the sales mix. This means:

Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit.........equartion 1

If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.

Its impact depends upon the portfolio of products company is managing. It means it increases breakeven with high effects if the products in sales mix 2 to 3.

Option 3 is 100% right because equation 1 is

Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit

Which says

If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.

Option 4 is absolutely wrong because if we shift to higher volume in low contribution margin products, Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases

which means Weighted average contribution has been decreased and as a result breakeven point according to equation 1 has been incresed.
