Answer:

The​ break-even point in dollars for the proposal by Vendor A​ is $125,000

Explanation:

The computation of the break even sales in dollars is shown below:

Break even point in dollars = (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Profit volume Ratio)  

where,

Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 100

So, the Profit volume ratio = (8) ÷ (20) × 100 = 40%

And, Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit  

= $20 - $12

= $8

And, the fixed expenses is $50,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to  

= (50,000) ÷ (40%)  

= $125,000

pentagon [3]

In order for "limit pricing" to be effective, the firm practising such a strategy must be able to charge a price that is lower than the potential entrant's ATC but greater than the firm's own ATC.

Explanation:

A pricing strategy is a level where products are sold by a supplier at an expense that is cheap enough to make the market unprofitable for others. Monopolies use it in order to discourage market entry and in many cases it is illegal.

It is not able to sustain a monopolistic-ally profitable firm where P = MC and growth, with a long-run balance, generates an efficiency that approaches the minimum possible in an ATC business. Profit so long as potential customers can not enter the market.

Vito is the sole shareholder of Vito, Inc. He is also employed by the corporation. On June 30, 2020, Vito borrowed $8,000 from V
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The first loan for $8,000 could fall under the exemption of employer-employee loan. But then after the second is taken, that exemption would no longer apply. A minimum interest of $18,000 x 4% x 6/12 = $360 should be charged.

If the loan is considered a corporation-shareholder loan, then it doesn't qualify for any type of exemption, resulting in interests = ($8,000 x 4% x 6/12) = $160 for 2020

for 2021, interest applied = [($8,000 + $160) x 4%] + ($10,000 x 4% x 6/12) = $326.40 + $360 = $686.40
