Answer:

A. Shut down immediately, as the firm is not able to cover all of its variable costs.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, the company contribution is negative. Even at maximum revenue it cannot cover the variable cost needed to produce this revenue. Therefore, is not possible to make a gross profit to afford the rest of the cost. Currently, the company has their fixed cost and the loss from operations.

If it shut down, it will stop the loss from operations and only leave the fixed cost.

Titanic Roofing Company has estimated the following amounts for its next fiscal​ year: Total fixed costs $ 840 comma 000 Sale pr
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Operating income increases by $40,000.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total fixed costs = $840,000

Sale price per unit = $60

Variable cost per unit = $30

Additional amount spend on advertising = $35,000

Sales volume would increase by 2,500 units.

Contribution margin:

= Sales - Variable costs

= $60 - $30

= $30 per unit

Increase in operating income:

= Increase in contribution margin - Increase in Fixed costs

= ($30 × 2,500 units) - $35,000

= $75,000 - $35,000

= $40,000

Sidney took a $150 cash advance by using checks linked to her credit card account. The bank charges a 2 percent cash advance fee
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A.) 3%; B.) 2% ; C) $155; D) $150

9) $78 ; $1278

10) a) $5940; b) $19440; c) $279; D) 21.64%

Explanation:

Amount = $150

Cash advance rate = 2% = 0.02

A.) cash advance fee = $150 × 0.02 = $3

B.) Interest for one month at APR of 18%

Interest = principal × time × rate

$150 × (1÷12) × 0.16 = $2.00

C.) Total amount paid

$(150 + 3 + 2) = $155

D.) $150

9.)

Interest = principal × rate × time

t = 6 months = (6/12)

Rate (r) = 0.13

Principal = $1200

Interest = $1200 × 0.13 × 0.5 = $78

Total amount = down payment + principal borrowed + interest

Total amount = 0 + $1200 + $78 = $1,278

10.)

Price = $13,500

Down payment = $2700

Loan required = $10,800

Add-on rate = 11% = 0.11

Period = 5 years

A.) Interest = $10,800 × 0.11 × 5 = $5,940

B.) Total cost = Down payment + Principal borrowed + interest paid

$2700 + $10,800 + $5940 = $19,440

C.) Monthly Payment = (Principal Borrowed + Total interest) / Total number of payments

Monthly Payment = ($10800+ $5940) / (12×5)

Monthly payment = $16740 ÷ 60 =$279

D.) Annual percentage rate (APR)

APR= (2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]

APR = (2 × 12 × 5940) / [10800 × (60+1)]

APR = 142560 ÷ 658800

APR = 0.21639

APR = 21.64%

Explanation:

i hope this helped you!
