Answer:
a. 7,900
b. 10,100
Explanation:
As for the provided information,
We know at break even point taxes shall be = 0 as there are no profits and no losses.
a. At break even: = 
Fixed Cost = $308,100
Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable cost = $79 - $40 = $39
Therefore, break even units = 
b. In case the company wants a profit of $51,480 after tax @ 40% then,
Earnings before taxes = 
= $85,800
Therefore, number of units = 
= 
= 10,100
Answer: 1.66
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the beta of the stock will be calculated as follows:
Expected return = 16.2%
Market return = 11.2%
Inflation rate = 3.1%
Risk-free rate of return = 3.6%
We should note that:
Expected return = risk-free rate + Beta × (market rate- risk-free rate)
Therefore,
16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × (11.2% - 3.6%)
16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × 7.6%
16.2% - 3.6% = Beta × 7.6%
12.6% = Beta × 7.6%
Beta = 12.6% / 7.6%
Beta = 1.66
Answer:
1. ANSWER: 20,000
2. ANSWER: $400,000
3. ANSWER: $28.45
Explanation:
1. If the average price for a new disposable cell phone is $20, and the total market potential for that product is $4 million;and Topco, Inc. has a planned market share of 10 percent. Then, Topco have the potential to sell in this market 10% * $4 million / $20 = 20,000 units of the proposed cell phone.
2. The planned market share in dollars is 10% * $4 million = $400,000
3. If Atlantic Car Rental charges $29.95 per day to rent a mid-size automobile. Pacific Car Rental, Atlantic's main competitor, just reduced prices on all its car rentals. In response, Atlantic reduced its prices by 5 percent.
Now Atlantic's new cost of rental for mid-size cars is: 95% of $29.95 = $28.45
Answer:
(a) $500
(b) $620
(c) $180
(d) $72
Explanation:
Explicit costs refers to the which are incurred during running the business and these costs affects the profitability of the company.
Implicit costs refers to the opportunity cost of selecting some other alternative.
(a) Here, the explicit cost is the cost of purchasing materials = $500
(b) If I rent an electric saw, then the explicit cost is as follows:
= Purchasing cost of material + (Rent × No. of hours to build ramp)
= $500 + ($20 × 6 )
= $500 + $120
= $620
(c) If I use a handsaw, then the implicit cost is as follows:
= Hours to build ramp × A job pays $12 per hour
= 15 × $12
= $180
(d) If I rent an electric saw, then the implicit cost is as follows:
= Hours to build ramp × A job pays $12 per hour
= 6 × $12
= $72
