Answer:

Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $100 a night. Operating costs are as follows:

Salaries $7,500 per month

Utilities $1,500 per month

Depreciation $1,300 per month

Maintenance $1,760 per month

Maid service $24 per room

Other costs $46 per room

<u>First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs and the unitary variable cost.</u>

Total fixed costs= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance

Total fixed costs= $12,060

Unitary variable cost= 24 + 46= $70

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 12,060/ (100 - 70)

Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month

Which common saying best captures the concept of incentives (specifically, positive and negative incentives), which is one of th
lesantik [10]

Answer:

If the carrot doesn't work, try the stick.

Explanation:

This phrase clearly describes how advertising and promotions work:

If the carrot doesn't work: the tempting carrot refers to advertisement, and the doesn't work part refers to advertisement that is not able to change consumer habits and increase sales.

Try the stick refers to offering promotions or positive incentives like discounts or larger packs.

Another example would be the penalty imposed on individuals that refused to purchase health care insurance (eliminated in 2018). The carrot were the benefits obtained by having health insurance and the stick was the negative incentive (or penalty) imposed as a fine for those who didn't purchase health insurance.

The beta of Stock A is –0.4 (indicating that its returns rise when returns on most other stocks fall). If the risk-free rate is
Marianna [84]

Answer:

=2.98%

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return of the stock;

CAPM: r = risk free + beta(market return - risk free)

risk free = 4.5% or 0.045 as a decimal

beta = -0.4

market return = 8.3% or 0.083 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers into the CAPM formula;

r = 0.045 -0.4(0.083 - 0.045)

r = 0.045 -0.0152

r = 0.0298 or 2.98%

Therefore the required return is 2.98%

. If the price elasticity of demand for pineapple is 0.75, a 4% increase in the price of pineapple will lead to a A. 3% decrease
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

A) 3% decrease in the quantity demanded of pineapple.

Explanation:

We know that the demand curve is negative, which means that as price of a product increases, its demand will decrease.

In unitary elasticity(1) the change in demand means that the change in quantity demanded will be the same. A 0.75 elasticity will thus mean that the quantity demanded will change by a factor of 0.75 as compared to the change in price.  

Therefore when the price of pineapple increases by 4%, the quantity demanded will decrease by 4 * 0.75 = 3%

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the predictability of analytical procedures in a financial statement audi
Pie

Answer:

The answer is letter B

Explanation:

Relationships involving income statement accounts tend to be more predictable than relationships involving only balance sheet accounts.

Because analytical procedures are evaluations of financial information made by study of plausible relationships among financial and nonfinancial data using models that range from simple to complex.  The reason is that income statement amount is based on transactions over a period of time, but balance sheet amounts are for a moment in time. Moreover, amounts subject to management discretion tend to be less predictable.
