Exotic Roses, owned by Margarita Rameriz, provides a variety of rare rose bushes to local nurseries that sell Rameriz's roses to

the end consumer (landscapers and retail customers). Rameriz grows the roses from cuttings that she has specifically cultivated for their unusual characteristics (color, size, heartiness, and resistance to disease). Margarita's roses are in great demand as evidenced by the wholesale price she charges nurseries, $15 per potted plant. Exotic Roses has the following cost structure (variable costs are per potted plant): Fixed Costs per Year Variable Costs Plant materials $ 0.50 Pot 0.30 Labor $ 8,000 0.70 Utilities 9,000 Rent 7,500 Other costs 2,500 Required: a. How many potted rose plants must Exotic Roses sell each year to break even? b. If Rameriz wants to make profits of $10,000 before taxes per year, how many potted rose plants must be sold? c. If Rameriz wants to make profits of $10,000 after taxes per year, how many potted rose plants must be sold assuming a 35 percent income tax rate?

Answer:

A) break even point= 1407 pots

B) pots= 2148 units

C) pots= 2547 units

Explanation:

We were provided with the following information:

Price= $15

Variable Costs:

Plant materials $ 0.50

Pot 0.30

Labor $ 8,000 ($0.70 hour)

Fixed Costs

Utilities 9,000

Rent 7,500

Other costs 2,500

A) break-even point= fixed cost/ contribution margin

Fixed cost= 9000+7500+2500= $19000

CM= P - Vc= 15 - (0,50+0,30+0,70)=$13,5

break-even point= 19000/13,5= 1407 units

B) Profit= $10000

break-even point= (fixed cost+profit)/ contribution margin

break-even point= 29000/13,5= 2148 units

C) t= 0,35

Profit before taxes= profit after taxes/(1-t)= 10000/0,65=$15385

break-even point= (fixed cost+profit before taxes)/ contribution margin= (15385+19000)/ 13,5= 2547 units

Chris can be paid in one of two ways. plan a is a salary of ​$360 per​ month, plus a commission of 9​% of sales. plan b is a sal
vfiekz [6]

The correct answer is any amount higher than $5,400.

First, you need to solve the break even point of sales when Chris will earn the exact same amount by plan a or plan b. The following equation will solve this problem, with x being the amount of sales.

$360 + .09x = $630 + .04x

First, subtract .04x from both sides:

$360 +.05x = $630

Next, subtract $360 from both sides:

.05x = $270

Finally, divide both sides by .05:

X = $5,400

At $5,400 Chris will earn the same about of pay, regardless of which plan they are on. Since the commission percentage is higher on plan a, Chris is better off having plan a when sales are higher than $5,400. At this point Chris is earning 9% commission, rather than 4% in plan b.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

option (A) 10 percent

The ABC's required return will be

= Dividend yield + Expected growth rate

or

The ABC's required return = 3% + 7%

Airida [17]

Answer:

The combined total capital that would be recorded on the partnership books for the two partners is $79,000

Explanation:

Partnership : In partnership, there are two or more members who are called partners which are ready to share the profit or loss percentage according to their agreed ratio

The combined total capital for both partners is shown below:

= Contributed cash + truck fair value + garage fair value

= $8000 + $ 16,000 + $55,000

= $79,000

The other cost like purchase price, depreciation, construction cost is irrelevant for computation. Thus, these cost will not be considered.

Hence, the combined total capital that would be recorded on the partnership books for the two partners is $79,000
