Answer:
7.5 Years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period of the given machine is shown below:
<u>Year Initial outflow Cash flow Cumulative cash flow</u>
(52000)
1 10,000 10,000
2 10,000 20,000
3 10,000 30,000
4 8,000 38,000
5 8,000 46,000
6 2,000 48,000
7 2,000 50,000
8 4,000 54000
9 4,000 58000
10 4,000 62000
Now the Payback period is
= Completed years+ required cash ÷ annual cash inflow
= 7 years + 2000 ÷ 4000
= 7.5 Years
Answer:
c) $ 24,200
Explanation:
Computation of Total Period costs
Fixed selling and Administrative expenses $ 8,800
Variable Selling and Administrative costs
$ 7 per unit * 2,200 units sold <u>$ 15,400</u>
Total period costs $ 24,200
The fixed manufacturing overhead is part of manufacturing costs so not considered.
The variable selling and administrative costs are based on units sold and not units produced.
Answer:
d. Need more information.
Explanation:
Demand elasticity is a microeconomic concept that aims to measure the sensitivity of demand in the face of price changes.
When calculated, elasticity reaches values that signal consumers' response to price. If elasticity is a value between 0 and 1, then demand is inelastic - little sensitive to price changes. If demand is greater than 1, this means elastic - very sensitive to price changes.
The numbers presented by the question show a highly elastic demand for theater ticket prices in both cases, especially in the afternoon shift. Thus, the theater could lower the price of both, because in elastic demands, a negative variation in price will increase the demand. However, this is not enough to calculate profit maximization since the profit calculation formula also involves costs, which are not described in the question.
