Westkost [7]

Answer:

539,000.00

Explanation:

As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.

For Etuck327,

The selling price is $39

Variable expense is $28

Break-even in units is 49,000 books.

Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs

=$39- $28

=$11

if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then

49,000= fixed cost / 11

fixed costs = 11 x 49000

Fixed costs = 539,000.00

Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2015 is $2,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ useful life

= ($35,500 - $4,000) ÷ 7 years

= 4,500

The depreciation for three years would be

= 4,500 × 3 years

= $13,500

The remaining amount would be

= $35,500 - $13,500

= $22,000

So, the depreciation expense for 2015 would be

= ($22,000 - $4,000) ÷ 9 years

= 2,000

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Since this is an operating lease (short lease term, no transfer of ownership, and low present value of lease payments), the lessor has to record a depreciation expense, but the lessee only considers lease payments as operating costs (no depreciation expense or lease liability should be recognized).

Depreciation expense per year under the straight line method = asset cost / useful life = $280,000 / 8 years = $35,000

storchak [24]

Answer:

Option D. After completion of market research, situation analysis, and competitor analysis

Explanation:

The reason is that the company always sets objectives and goals when it analyzes the business environment, the way competitor would react, product demand, etc and all these things come from market research, situation analysis, competitor analysis, position analysis, capability analysis, etc. This gives a clear picture where the organization must head towards. So after completion of these analysis and research, company is able to set goals.

Always remember that the company sets its goals before marketing planning (Option A) and after situation analysis (Option B) because it helps define what number of sales we need which formulates the marketing planning.

Option C is incorrect because strategies are set after the objectives and goals are set because the strategies are always alligned with the objectives and goals.

Option E is incorrect because Goals and Objectives are set always after the SWOT and PESTLE analysis not during these studies.

Here the only only option with broader meaning is option D which also includes the Option A and Option B.
