The question is incomplete. The following is the complete question.
Sag Manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The contribution margin ratio is 20%. If Sweet will break even at this level of sales, what are the fixed costs?
Answer:
Fixed costs are $480000
Explanation:
The break even sales is the value of total sales or total revenue where it equals total cost and the company makes no profit or no loss. The break even in sales is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio.
Break even in sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Plugging in the available values we can calculate the value of fixed cost. We know that the break even in units is at 400000 units. Thus, its value in sale will be 400000 * 6 = 2400000
2400000 = Fixed cost / 0.2
2400000 * 0.2 = Fixed cost
Fixed costs = $480000
Answer: c. Collude
Explanation:
In order to make the maximum profit, the most important thing that these commercial concrete suppliers can do would be to Collude. While this is against fair market practices in a competitive market, it will ensure that they make enough profits in the industry.
With a 90% market share between them, they could collude to establish a price at which they will all sell at and because of their high market share, this is the price that the market will begin to sell at. That price will be a price that is high enough for them all to make sufficient profits therefore the goal of the collusion will be accomplished.
Answer:
Pre-tax income= $50,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit=$15 each
Unitary variable cost= $10
Fixed costs= $200,000
Sales in units= 50,000
<u>First, we will determine the unitary contribution margin:</u>
Unitary contribution margin= 15 - 10= $5
<u>Now, the pre-tax income:</u>
Pre-tax income= 50,000*5 - 200,000
Pre-tax income= $50,000
Answer: $31000
Explanation:
Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest will be calculated as:
= Value of original basis + (interest purchased - Cash received) + tax exempt interest
= $40000 + ($70000 - $80000) + $1000
= $40000 - $10000 + $1000
= $31000
Answer:
I can pay the loan 58 months faster by making my planned monthly payments of $225 with the new card.
Explanation:
In arriving at the above, I calculated the number of months to make monthly payments using the old card at 130 months and that of the new card as 72 months(as shown in the attached).
Invariably, the difference in months between the two above is 58 months(130-78).
In computing the months I used the nper function in excel as found in the attached spreadsheet
