Answer

(a) 3858 Units

(b) 4372 Units

Explanation

SP = Selling price per unit = $150 per unit

VC = Variable cost per unit = $80 per  unit

TFC = Total Fixed Cost = $270,000

(a) Break-Even Point (Units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Revenue per Unit – Variable Cost per Unit)

= $270,000 ÷ ( $150 per unit - $80 per  unit )

= 3857.14 ≅ 3858 Units

(b)

x = Number of units

TR = Total Revenue = $150x

TC = Total Costs = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost

TC = $270,000 + $80x

Target Profit = $36,000

Total profit = Total Revenue - Total Costs

36000 = 150x - ( 270000 + 80x)

306000 = 70x

x = 4371.42 ≅ 4372 Units

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Positioning strategies

Explanation:

In business , positioning strategies refers to the efforts that a company can do  to influence some sort of perception toward their brands.

In the example above, Markup artfully arranged  his products and priced to indicate product rarity in upscale neighborhood.

He did this because for customers with high economic power, presentation of a certain product will create the perception that owning that product indicates high social status. This probably held more value compared to the actual use function of the product itself.

On the other hand, he left his products in open boxes and placed haphazardly on shelves when targeting customers with lower income. He did this because among customers with lower income, presentation tend to matter less compared to the actual function of thier brand.

Big Tree Lumber has earnings per share of $1.36. The firm's earnings have been increasing at an average rate of 2.9 percent annu
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The firm's PEG ratio is equal to 5.93

Explanation:

A valuation metric for determining the relative trade-off between the price of a stock, the earnings generated per share (EPS), and the company's expected growth are referred to as the 'PEG ratio' (price/earnings to growth ratio).

Generally, a company with a higher growth rate would have a higher P/E ratio.

PE ratio = Stock price/EPS

             = 23.4/1.36

 PE ratio = 17.205

PEG ratio = PE ratio/ Earning growth ratio

                 = 17.205/2.9

PEG ratio    = 5.93
