Answer:
- 5,000 watches : $150,000 loss
- 20,000 watches: $60,000 (Loss)
- Break-even point = 30,000 units
- if the selling price rises to 32 = break even points descends to 10,588 units
- If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26 , the break even point goes back to 30,000units.
Explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:
Profit = Revenue -cost
Where the revenue is equal to the units sold (x) multiplied by the selling price,
R = 21 x
And cost is equal to the sum of the fixed and variable costs.
C = 15x + 1800
So:
P = 21x-(15x +180,000)
P = x ( 21-15)- 180,000
P = 5000(21-15)-180,000
P = 5000(6) -180,000
P= 30,000-180,000
P=-$150,000 (loss , since is negative )
P = 20,000(6) -180,000
P = 120,000-180,000
P=-$60,000 (Loss)
- To find the break even point:
R = C
21x = 15x + 180,000
21x-15x =180,000
6 x = 180,000
x = 180,000/6
x =30,000 units
- if the selling price rises to 32
32x = 15x + 180,000
32x-15x = 180,000
17x =180,000
x = 180,000/17
x = 10,588 units
It descends,
- If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26
32x = 26x+180,000
32x-26x = 180,000
6x = 180,000
x = 180,000/6
x =30,000
The break-even point comes back to 30,000 units.
Answer: Option D
Explanation: In simple words, technology upgrading refers to the process in which a firm intensely changes the level of technology it is using for its operations. In such a process the organisation implements a more advanced technology so that it can enhance the operational activities within.
Technology up gradation is a necessity in today's competitive business environment but if implemented in a right way it can give an organisation a strong competitive advantage which will open new doors to success.
For example automobile industries upgraded their technology to a higher level which made the operation at such a high scale that it became an oligopoly industry.
An oligopoly industry is the one in which there are few firms operating at a high scale with difficulty in entry due to heavy investments.
