Answer:

(i) 900 CDs

(ii) Greater than; $1,650

Explanation:

(1) Break-event point will be when the contribution margin from total sales is equal to fixed costs,

Contribution Margin = Selling price - variable cost

                                  = $(21.5 - 9.5)

                                  = $12

Contribution Margin *Number of CDs sold = $10,800

Break-even point for Studio A = 10,800 ÷ 12

                                                    = 900 CDs

(2) Studio A would be more profitable when the extra profit earned from per unit sale of CD exceeds the extra fixed cost given in Studio A.

Extra Contribution margin in Studio A = $(12-10)

                                                               = $2

Extra Fixed cost in Studio A = $(10,800 - 7,500)

                                               = $3,300

Studio A should be chosen if sales is greater than (3300/2) = $1,650.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Following are the organizational characteristics that explain the 100-year longevity of a company:

Explanation:

Selling Necessity Goods

Many of companies provide such goods and services which are essential for our everyday activities. Hence, people tend to buy from these companies as it is their routine to do so.

Laser-Sharp Customer Focus

These companies have always focused on the ever changing needs and demands of the customers and have worked accordingly.  Hence their focus on customer service is the key to their success.

Willingness to Chart New Territory

Since customer needs are always evolving, all organizations celebrating centennials have taken significant gambles in order to expand their offerings.  Steelcase, for instance, began as a furniture company but has recognized that the way people work has changed.  

Ongoing Community Relationships

Long-lasting organizations also make their mark by giving back to the communities in which they’ve thrived. The GSUSA estimates that its members complete more than 75 million hours of community service annually.  

These organizations have achieved so much because they have adapted their strategies to a changing world, and because they are always looking for ways to improve people’s lives.  It is these traits that position them well no matter what the future holds.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: Machine B because it has the lower Present Value

Explanation:

<h2>Machine A</h2>

= Present Value of income - Present Value of Costs

Present value of Income;

Sold for $5,000 after 10 years.

= 5,000/ (1 + 8%)^10

= $2,315.97

Present Value of Costs;

Purchased for $48,000.

Maintenance of $1,000 per year for  years.

Present value of maintenance= 1,000 * Present value factor of annuity,  10 years, 8%

= 1,000 * 6.7101

= $6,710.10

Machine A Present Value

= 2,315.97 - 6,710.10 - 48,000

= ‭-$52,394

<h2>Machine B</h2>

No salvage value.

Present Value of costs

Purchased for $40,000.

Present value of maintenance = (4,000 / (1 + 8%)^3)  + (5,000 / ( 1 + 8)^6) + (6,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^8)

= -$9,567.79

Present Value = -40,000 - 9,567.79

= -$49,568

Redeemed amount = $1,000

Sale value of Bond = $687.25

The computation of interest rate is as shown below:-

Interest rate = (Redeemed amount ÷ Sale value of bond) ^ (1 ÷ Number of Year) - 1

= (1,000 ÷ 747.25) ^ (1 ÷ 5) - 1

= (1.338) ^ (0.2) - 1

= 0.06

= 6%

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

As a result of the price floor, price would increase. As a result, quantity demanded will decrease and the quantity supplied would increase.

Supply would exceed demand and as a result there would be an excess supply of fish.  

As an alternative to the price floor, the government can subsidise the cost of fishing. This would reduce the cost of producing fish

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
