Answer:

The selling price per case is $75

Explanation:

Sue Bee Honey

Profit is a function of how well a company is able to absorb/cover its costs of doing business.

Thus, to derive Profit we will consider this format;

Sales = xx

Less Variable costs = x

Contribution = xx

Less Fixed Costs = x

gross Profit = xx

Less selling & Admin expense x

Profit = x

Assume sales which is unknown is a

Sales = a

Less Variable costs = 40 x 800,000 = $32,000,000...,.(b)

Contribution = a minus b ..... (C)

Less Fixed Costs = $5,000,000....(d)

gross Profit = c - d.....….(e)

Less fixed selling & Admin expense = $3,000,000.......(f)

Less Variable selling expense = 25% x (a)...…g

Profit = $5,000,000

Stretching this out in a mathematical format.

5,000,000 + 3,000,000 + 5,000,000 + 32,000,000 = a - 25% of a = 0.75a

$45,000,000 = 0.75a

a = Sales = 45,000,000/0.75 = $60,000,000

To derive selling Price:

Divide sales by sales units = $60,000,000 / 800,000 = $75 per unit

Answer:

$75 per case

Explanation:

Required: Selling Price per case

Sales – Variable cost – Fixed cost = Target desired profit

Sales = 800000 case x Selling Price (SP)

Variable cost = (800000 case x $40) + (800000 x SP x 25%)

Putting into equation:

Sales – Variable cost – Fixed cost = Target desired profit

(800000 x SP) – [(800000 x 40) + (800000 x SP x 25%)] - $8000000 = $ 5000000

>800000SP – (32000000 + 200000SP) – 8000000 = 5000000

>800000SP – 32000000 – 200000SP – 8000000 = 5000000

>800000SP – 200000SP = 5000000 + 8000000 + 32000000

>600000SP = 45000000

>SP = 45000000 / 600000

>SP = $ 75

Private solutions to correct for externalities consider the following scenario:________.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.

The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.

It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$20.38  buy

Explanation:

The computation of present value is shown below:-

Fair Value according to Gordon Model = Expected Div ÷ (Required Return - Growth rate)

= $20.38

Fair Price = $ 20.38 and Actual Price = $18.00
