Answer:

The expected rate of return is 8.65%

Explanation:

The expected return on a stock can be calculated by multiplying the return in each scenario by the probability of that scenario. This will provide the expected value of the return based on all these scenarios. Thus, the rate of return is,

Rate of return = rA * pA + rB * pB + rC * pC

Where,

  • r represents the return in each scenario
  • p represents the probability of each scenario

The probability of normal state is = 1 - 0.45 - 0.05  =  0.5

Rate of return = 0.13 * 0.45 + 0.06 * 0.5  + (-0.04) * 0.05

Rate of return = 0.0865 or 8.65%

In 2019, Bonita Industries sold 3000 units at $1000 each. Variable expenses were $700 per unit, and fixed expenses were $780000.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 is 812.50 units.

Explanation:

Break-even point in units refers to the number of units of commodity that must sold by a company in order for its cost to be equal to revenue and therefore make no profit but also no loss. This can be determined for Bonita Industries as follows:

Selling price in 2020 = Selling price in 2019 * (100% - Percentage cut in selling price) = $1,000 * (100% - 40%) = $1,000 * 96% = $960

Variable expenses = $700

Fixed expenses = $780,000

Contribution per unit = Selling price in 2020 - Variable expenses = $960 - $700 = $260

Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 = Fixed expenses / Contribution per unit = $780,000 / $960 = 812.50 units

Therefore, Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 is 812.50 units.
