Answer:

Sales unit to achieve target profit =6,550 units

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.

The break-even point is calculated as  

Break -even in units = total general fixed cost/(selling price - variable cost)

ley represent tah variable cost per unit with letter "y"

5,000 = 50,000 / (25 - y)

cross multiply

5000× (25 - y) = 50,000

125000  - 5000 y = 50,000

collect like terms

125,000 - 50,000 = 5000 y

75000  = 5,000y

divide both sides by 5,000

y = 75,000/5000 = 15

<em>Variable cost per unit = 15</em>

Sales units to achieve target profit = Fixed cost + target profit/(selling price - variable cost per unit)

Sales unit to achieve target profit

= (50,000 + 15,500)/(25-15)

= 6,550

Sales unit to achieve target profit =6,550 units

Consider the following data: currency (held outside banks) = $354 billion, checkable deposits = $250 billion, traveler's checks
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a). M1=$808 billion

b). M2=1,068 billion

Explanation:

M1 is the money supply that is the most liquid and is or can be easily converted into cash. The formula for calculating M1 is;

M1=C+D+T+S

where;

M1=money supply

C=currency held outside banks

D=checkable deposits

T=traveler's checks

S=small-denomination time deposits

In our case;

M1=unknown

C=$354 billion

D=$250 billion

T=$4 billion

S=$200 billion

replacing;

M1=(354+250+4+200)=$808 billion

M1=$808 billion

M2 includes elements of M1 and additional  money supply that are near liquid. The formula is;

M2=M1+savings deposit+mutual funds

where;

M1=$808 billion

savings=$100 billion

retail money market mutual funds=$160

replacing;

M2=(808+100+160)=1,068 billion

M2=1,068 billion

Ainat [17]

Answer:

i=4.84%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question, is to remember the model of return for a perpeuity dividend calculation:

Value=\frac{1}{i-k}

where value is the current stock price, i is the dividend yield and k is the growth rate, so applying to this particular case we have

k=3.4/91

k=3.74%

and solving i for the previous formula:

91=\frac{1}{i-0.0374}

0.01098={i-0.0374}

i=4.84\%
