Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": apply the assumption that people behave as if they act rationally with an aim to maximize utility.

Explanation:

The theory of rational expectations is mainly used in macroeconomics, with the idea that decisions of individuals will affect the future course of the economy. According to this theory, people's behaviors are based on <em>rationality, all the information that they have available, </em>and <em>past experiences. </em>

Some of the rational expectations theory's premises are that <em>people hold expectations that will be met, variables values (price, output, and employment) are taken into account, </em>and <em>individuals are always trying to maximize their profits.</em>

Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions
solong [7]

Answer:

<h3>Portmann Company</h3>

1. Total variable costs = $89,000,000

Total fixed costs = $40,600,000

2. a Unit variable cost = $89

b. Unit contribution margin = $100

3. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= $40,600,000/$100

= 406,000 units

4. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= $45,100,000/$100

= 451,000 units

5. Break-even sales (units) to achieve target profit = (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Contribution margin per unit

= ($45,100,000 + $59,400,000)/$100

= 1,045,000 units

6. Maximum operating income possible with the expanded plant is:

= $61,900,000

7. Operating income if the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level is:

= $54,900,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales volume during current year = 1,000,000

Sales price per unit during current year = $189

Income statement is as follows:

Sales                                $189,000,000

Cost of goods sold           (101,000,000)

Gross profit                      $88,000,000

Expenses:

Selling expenses             $16,000,000

Administrative expenses  12,600,000

Total expenses                (28,600,000)

Operating income          $59,400,000

                                      Variable    Fixed

Cost of goods sold           70%        30%

Selling expenses              75%        25%

Administrative expenses 50%        50%

Total variable costs for the current year:

                                      Variable  

Cost of goods sold           70% * $101,000,000 = $70,700,000

Selling expenses              75% * $16,000,000 =     12,000,000

Administrative expenses 50% * $12,600,000 =      6,300,000

Total variable costs = $89,000,000

Variable unit cost = $89 ($89,000,000/1,000,000)

Contribution per unit = $100 ($189 - $89)

Total fixed costs for the current year:

                                          Fixed

Cost of goods sold             30% * $101,000,000 = $30,300,000

Selling expenses                25% * $16,000,000  =      4,000,000

Administrative expenses   50% * $12,600,000 =       6,300,000

Total fixed costs =  $40,600,000

Projected sales for the next year = $202,230,000 ($189,000,000 + $13,230,000)

Percentage Increase in sales for the next year = $13,250,000/$189,000,000 * 100 = 7%

Fixed costs caused by expansion = $4,500,000

Total fixed costs = $45,100,000 ($40,600,000 + $4,500,000)

Variable costs = $95,230,000 ($89,000,000 * 1.07)

Contribution margin:

Sales                                $202,230,000

Variable costs                      95,230,000

Contribution margin        $107,000,000

Expenses:

Fixed costs                          45,100,000

Operating income            $61,900,000

Sales volume = 1,070,000 units (1,000,000 * 1.07)

Contribution per unit = $107,000,000/1,070,000 = $100

Sales at current level:

Sales                                $189,000,000

Variable costs                     89,000,000

Contribution                    $100,000,000

Fixed costs                          45,100,000  

Operating income           $54,900,000

FIFO Ending Inventory $ 64900

March 15 Purchases  2,200 units at $20=$ 44000

February 16,Purchases units 1,100 at $19 =$20900
