A disadvantage of the mall-intercept survey is:

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Mall shoppers may not be representative of the target market population.

Explanation:

The key disadvantage of a mall intercept study is that it for the most part depends on nonprobability sampling for respondent choice, and along these lines the outcomes can't be utilized to make statistical judgments about any recognizable target population.

You live in a town with 300 adults and 200 children, and you are thinking about putting on a play to entertain your neighbors an

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

To maximize profit, you would charge $8 for an adult's ticket and $4 for a child?s ticket. Total profit in this case would be $800.

The city council passes a law prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers.

Now you set a price of $8 for all tickets, resulting in $600 in profit.

Indicate whether each of the following groups of people is better off, worse off, or the same because of the law prohibiting price discrimination.

Groups of People Better Off Worse Off Unchanged

Adults x

Children x

You, the Producer x

Suppose the fixed cost of the play were $2,600 rather than $2,000.

Complete the following sentences indicating how this would change your answers to the previous parts.

In the presence of price discrimination, the adult price of a ticket would remain the same, and the child price would remain the same. Total profit would fall to $200.

If price discrimination were banned and the monopolist continued to produce the play no matter what the profit, the price of a ticket would remain the same, and total profit would fall to $0.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

Sales (38,000 units) $342,000 ($9.00 per unit)

Variable expenses $228,000 ($6.00 per unit)

Contribution margin $114,000 ($3.00 per unit)

Fixed expenses $42,000

Net operating income $72,000

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

$NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240$

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

$NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250$

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

$NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260$

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

$CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50$

The units sold is now:

$q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820$

Then, the net operating income becomes:

$NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190$

Smashed pumpkins co. Paid $200 in dividends and $624 in interest over the past year. The company increased retained earnings by

Maru [420]

Dividends that were paid last year = $200

Retained earnings = $522

Net Income = Retained earnings + Dividends paid = 200+522 =722

Tax rate was 38%.

Earnings before tax (EBT) = Net income/ (1-tax rate) =722/(1-0.38) = 1,164.52

Interest expense= 624

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = EBT + interest expense = 1,164.52 + 624 = 1,788.52

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = 1,788.52
