In early 2008, you purchased and remodeled a 120-room hotel to handle the increased number of conventions coming to town. by mid

-2008, it became apparent that the recession would kill the demand for conventions. now, you forecast that you will only be able to sell 20,000 room-nights that cost on average $50 per room per night to service. you spent $20 million on the hotel in 2009, and your cost of capital is 10%. the current going price to sell the hotel is $15 million. what is your breakeven price?

To solve this problem, first let us calculate for the total cost:

Total cost = Capital cost + Cost of capital

Total cost = $ 20 M + 0.10* $ 20 M

Total cost = $ 22 M

The breakeven point would be the price in which the total earnings is equal to the total cost. Therefore:

$ 15M + 20,000 * X = $ 22 M

Where X is the breakeven price in dollars per room per night

Calculating for X:

20,000 * X = $ 7 M

X = $ 350

<span>Therefore the break even price is $ 350 per room per night.</span>

McCoy’s Fish House purchases a tract of land and an existing building for $910,000. The company plans to remove the old building
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: $972,900

Explanation:

The cost of land consists of the actual purchase price, and all other expenses that are necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. In terms of land, all these expenditures can include title fees, unpaid taxes from previous years only (i.e. not current taxes), and other expenses need to physically prepare the land for use. The current taxes figure of $4,600 is not included here, as it is only owed during the current year, therefore normal accounting rules for taxes will apply. This figure will thus be treated as a liability until it is paid. The back taxes were aqcuired when the asset was aqcuired, and thus form part of the cost.

Old buildings that were on the land, may need to be teared down so that land can be utilised. The costs used to demolish the building also forms part of the purchase price. On top of that, to fully prepare the land for use the land may need to be landscaped and leveled. All these costs contribute towards getting the land ready for use, and are thus included in the cost. Sales made on any item related to the land, during the process when the land was still being processed for its intended use, will reduce the cost of the asset, and deduct this figure. This figure will fall under sales, which is an income to the business. The full calculation of the cost is as follows:

Purchase price: $910,000

Title insurance: + $2,400

Unpaid property taxes: + $8,300

Cost of removing building: + $45,900

Sale of salvaged materials: - $4,000

Level the land: + $10,300

Cost of land: = $972,900

butalik [34]

Answer:

Elastic demand

A heart valve

Explanation:

A good with many close substitutes will have a highly elastic demand. This is because an increase in the price of the good will causes the consumers to purchase one of its cheaper substitutes.  

If both a diamond necklace and a heart valve for heart attack victims are priced the same, the price elasticity for the heart valve will be lower. This is because the diamond necklace is a luxury good but the heart valve is necessary for the survival of the victim.
