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.

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95 ;

PLAN A is optimal from 0 to 192 minutes

g The company plans a 4-for-1 stock split. How many shares will you own and what will the share price be after the stock split?
Nata [24]

Answer: 14,400; $17

Explanation:

Stock splits are a strategy by firms to increase the liquidity of their shares especially when they are trading at a high price. The firm divides the stock by a certain number thus increasing the number of shares by the multiple of the number. This action will divide the price of the stock and thus allow for more trade as they are cheaper.

A 4-for- stock split means that each share will become 4.

Your total number of share will become;

= 4 * 3,600

= 14,400 shares

The new price will be;

= 68/4

= $17 per share
