Answer:

37 %

Explanation:

Margin of safety is the difference between expected profit and the break-even point. It is expressed as a percentage of the sales level. the formula is as below

the margin of safety = budgeted sales - break-even/ budgeted sales x 100

For Zhao Co.  ltd break-even point is:

Using the contribution margin formula,

break-even = fixed cost/contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost = $390, 600

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - variable costs

=$181- $119= $62

Breakeven in units = $390,000 / $62 =$6300 units

Break even in dollars = $6300 x $181= 1, 140,300

Expected sales = 10,000 units

sales in dollars = 10,000 x $181=  1, 810, 000

The margin of safety

=  1 810,000- 1140,000/ 1810,000 x 100

=670,000/1810,000 x 100

=0.370165 x 100

=37.016 %

= 37 %

Bess [88]

Answer:

So we can offer for the house $180119.95

Explanation:

Monthly income =$4000

Monthly mortgage payment allowed (P)= 25% of 4000= $1000

Interest rate per month (i)= 0.5%

Number of months in total (n)= 30*12= 360

Maximum loan affordable = P*(1-(1/(1+i)^n))/i

=1000*(1-(1/(1+0.5%)^360))/0.5%

=$166791.61

Closing cost is 4% of loan value = 166791.61*4% =$6671.66

Balance Amount left for down payment = 20000-6671.66

=$13328.34

It means we can pay $6671.66 for closing cost of Loan and $13328.34 for down payment.

Cost of house paid maximum = Down payment + Affordable loan

=13328.34+166791.61

=$180119.95

So we can offer for the house $180119.95

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The new portfolio beta is 1.31 rounded off to two decimal places.

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

  • w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio

The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,

The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31  -  1 * 1  = 25.2

The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,

Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20

Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31

Delicious77 [7]

The scope of practice regulations for <u>Nurse Practitioners (NP)</u> should be reconsidered.

Across the states, there is substantial variation in the scope of practice permitted to NP’s. Some states allow NP’s to provide care independently without the need for physician collaboration or supervision, while other states do not allow NP’s to do so. Thus there is a great need to align the regulations set for NP’s.
