Answer: BruceCo would have to sell 220 backpacks

Explanation: The projection of a $10,000 profit can be calculated properly by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

There is a one-time set up charge of 1000 and this is a fixed cost (as it does not change regardless of how many units they eventually sell). Also they would be spending $30 to buy each unit and still spend $20 to customize each. So each unit would cost $50 to acquire. If they plan on selling each unit at the rate of $100, then the total revenue would be 100 times X (where X is the number of units sold). Therefore the profit can be better projected by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

100X - (50X + 1000) = 10000

100X -50X - 1000 = 10000

50X = 10000 + 1000

50X = 11000

Divide both sides of the equation by 50

X = 220

Therefore, BruceCo must sell 220 units (at least) in order to meet a $10,000 profit projection

laila [671]

Answer:

The correct answer is: expressed in the prices of a base year.

Explanation:

Real GDP is an inflation-adjusted measure to calculate changes in economic output. It calculates the value of final goods and services produced in an economy in a year expressed in the prices of a base year.

Real GDP does not include changes in the price of products as it is calculated at constant prices.  

Nominal GDP, on the other hand, is calculated on the basis of current prices. It includes changes in prices and is not inflation-adjusted. That is why real GDP is preferred over nominal GDP.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

a) unemployment rate = 15

b) unemployment rate = 2.5

Explanation:

unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:

unemployment\ rate = \frac{number\ of\ unemployed}{labour\ force} \times 100\\

Where:

a) Number of unemployed = 12

Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)

\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15\\

b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).

\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{2}{80} \times 100 = \frac{200}{80} =  2.5

The percentage improvement in Sales to achieve the desired profit is:

c. 42.86% increase in sales.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Normal profit level = $8 million

Expected profit level = $14 million

                                             Normal            Expected

Sales per year              $40,000,000          $57,142,857

Cost of purchases          16,000,000            22,857,143

Production costs            10,000,000             14,285,714

Variable costs               26,000,000            37,142,857

Total contribution        $14,000,000       $20,000,000

Fixed costs                      6,000,000           6,000,000

Profit level                     $8,000,000        $14,000,000

Expected Contribution = Expected profit level + Fixed Costs

Normal Contribution = 35% of Sales

Normal Variable costs = 65% (100% - 35%)

Expected Contribution = $20,000,000 = 35% of Sales

Therefore, Expected Sales = $57,142,857 ($20,000,000/35%)

Normal Sales = $40,000,000

Expected Sales = $57,142,857

Percentage increase = 42.86% ($57,142,857 - $40,000,000)/$40,000,000
