Answer:

10,000 units

Explanation:

Given:

Total fixed costs for proposal A = $50,000

Total fixed costs for proposal B = $70,000

Variable cost for proposal A = $12

Variable cost for proposal B = $10

Revenue generated by each vendor = $20

let the number of units be 'x'

Now,

Cost of proposal A = Cost of proposal B

Fixed cost + x × Variable cost of proposal A = Fixed cost + x × Variable cost of proposal B

or

$50,000 + x × $12 = $70,000 + x × $10

or

x × $12 - x × $10 = $70,000 - $50,000

or

x × $2 = $20,000

or

x = 10,000 units

Question is Incomplete

a) What is the break-even point in units for proposal A?

b) What is the break-even point in units for proposal B?

Answer:

a. Break Even Point for Proposal A = 6,250 Units

a. Break Even Point for Proposal B = 7,000 Units

Explanation:

a. Calculating Break Even Point for Proposal A

Given

For Proposal A:

Fixed costs = $50,000

Variable cost = $ 12.00

Revenue generated = $20.00.

The break unit point is calculated using the following formula:

Break Even Point = F/ (R - V) =

Where F = Fixed Cost = $50,000

R = Generated Revenue = $20

V = Variable Cost = $12

By Substituton

Break Even Point = $50000/($20-$12)

Break Even Point = $50000/$8

Break Even Point = 6250 Units

a. Calculating Break Even Point for Proposal A

Given

For Proposal A:

Fixed costs = $50,000

Variable cost = $ 12.00

Revenue generated = $20.00.

The break unit point is calculated using the following formula:

Break Even Point = F/ (R - V) =

Where F = Fixed Cost = $50,000

R = Generated Revenue = $20

V = Variable Cost = $12

By Substituton

Break Even Point = $50,000/($20-$12)

Break Even Point = $50,000/$8

Break Even Point = 6250 Units

b. Calculating Break Even Point for Proposal B

Given

For Proposal B

Fixed costs = $70,000

Variable cost = $ 10.00

Revenue generated = $20.00.

The break unit point is calculated using the following formula:

Break Even Point = F/ (R - V) =

Where F = Fixed Cost = $70,000

R = Generated Revenue = $10

V = Variable Cost = $12

By Substituton

Break Even Point = $70,000/($20-$10)

Break Even Point = $70,000/$10

Break Even Point = 7,000 Units

The terms of trade reflect the:
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The terms of trade is the ratio at which two countries exchange their goods. It is the ratio of exports and imports of a country. Terms of trade reflect the health of the economy.  

It measures the number of goods a country can import in exchange for the goods it is exporting.  

An increase in the price of exported goods will increase the terms of trade for a country. While an increase in the price of imported goods will cause it to decline.

An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 1.6% in Year 1, 3.05% in Year 2, and 3.85% each year thereafter. Assu
mixer [17]

Answer:

The difference between two securities is 0.89%.

Explanation:

Inflation premium for the next three and five years:

Inflation premium (3) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85%) ÷ 3

                                  = 2.83%

Inflation premium (5) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85% + 3.85% + 3.85%) ÷ 5

                                  = 3.24%

Real risk-free rate = 2.35%

Since default premium and liquidity premium are zero on treasury bonds, we can now solve for the maturity risk premium:

Three-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (3) + MRP(3)

6.80% = 2.35% + 2.83% + MRP(3)

MRP (3) = 1.62%

Similarly,

5-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (5) + MRP(5)

8.10% = 2.35% + 3.24% + MRP(3)

MRP (5) = 2.51%

Thus,

MRP5 - MRP3 = 2.51% - 1.62%

                         = 0.89%

Therefore, the difference between two securities is 0.89%.

Unfortunately, Angie doesn't have enough money in her account right now. She needs to make additional contributions at the end o
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: $770.22

Explanation:

If she makes equal contributions then those would be annuities. The $9,000 she wants to have will be the future value of the amount currently in her account and the annuity.

9,000 = 5,000 ( 1 + r) ^ n + ( annuity * future value interest factor of an annuity, 9%,  3 years)

9,000 = 5,000 ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3 + ( Annuity * 3.2781)

9,000 = 6,475.145‬ + 3.2781 * Annuity

Annuity  = (9,000 - 6,475.145‬) / 3.2781

Annuity = $770.22
