Answer:

D) It decreases about 16 units.

Explanation:

Currently Keene's break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin

total fixed costs = $5,600

contribution margin = selling price - contribution margin = $20 - $6 = $14

Keene's current break even point = $5,600 / $14 = 400 units

If Keene's variable costs decrease by 10%, the new contribution margin will be = $20 - $5.40 = $14.60

Keene's new break even point = $5,600 / $14.60 = 383.56 ≈ 384 units

this represents a 4% decrease (16 units less)

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Put option

Explanation:

We have current price 40dollars - strike price 38dollars = $2. The question says the stock is trading at $0.25 per share. Since 0.25 is higher than 0 it is a put option. And the intrinsic value is $2.

The put option gives one the right to sell a particular number of shares at a price that has been set which is referred to as the strike price before a certain date.

AuctionCo sells used products collected from different suppliers. Assume a customer purchases a used bicycle through AuctionCo f
o-na [289]

Answer:

  1. $300
  2. $100
  3. $300

Explanation:

1. AuctionCo takes control of this used bicycle before the sale and pays $200 to the supplier.

Having taken control of the bicycle before the sale, the transaction will be treated as that of AuctionCo so the entire revenue will be theirs.

= $300

2. AuctionCo never took control.

Revenue will be the agency fee;

= Sales price - Supplier sales price

= 300 - 200

= $100

3. Assume AuctionCo promises to pay $200 to the supplier regardless of whether the bicycle is sold but the bicycle will continue to be shipped directly from the supplier to the customer.

= $300

Revenue is $300 because by being the ones to pay the supplier regardless of the occurrence of the transaction, they take control.
