Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

d.

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

<u>The questions are:</u>

<u>a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even</u>

<u>b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200</u>

<u>c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)</u>

<u>d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point. </u>

<em>1. A decrease in tour prices.</em>

<em>2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).</em>

<em>3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.</em>

<u />

<u />

<u>Solution:</u>

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = <u>450 tours per month</u>

<u></u>

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = <u>$850</u>

<u></u>

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

Suppose that you open your own business and earn an accounting profit of $35,000 per year. When you started your business, you

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

B. minus$2,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the economic profit is shown below:

As we know that

Economic profit = Total revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs

= $35,000 - $30,000 - $7,000

= -$2,000

The implicit cost is come from

= $70,000 ×10%

= $7,000

We simply applied the above formula so that the economic profit could come

A machine can be purchased for $202,000 and used for five years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes,

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

2.36 years

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.

To derive cash flows from net income, depreciation expenses should be added to net income.

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 / 5 = 0.4

Deprecation expense in year 1 = 0.4 x $202,000 = $80,800

Book value in year 2 = $202,000 - $80,800 = $121,200

Deprecation expense in year 2 = 0.4 x $121,200 = $48,480

Book value in year 3 = $121,200 - $48,480 = $72,720

Deprecation expense in year 3 = 0.4 x $72,720 = $29,088

Book value in year 4 = $72,720 - $29,088 = $43,632

Deprecation expense in year 4 = $43,632 x 0.4 = $17,452.80

Book value in year 5 = $43,632 x 0.4 - $17,452.80 = $26,179.20

Deprecation expense in year 5 = $26,179.20 x 0.4 = $10,471.68

Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000 + $80,800 = $98,800

Cash flow in year 2 = $25,000 + $48,480 = $73,480

Cash flow in year 3 = $53,000 + $29,088 = $82,088

Cash flow in year 4 = $58,000 + $17,452.80 = $75,452.80

Cash flow in year 5 = $108,000 + $10,471.68 = $118,471.68

As part of his 401(k) retirement plan at work, Ken Lowery invests 6.0 percent of his salary each month in the Capital Investment

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The amount of the fee is $1689.60

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the fee is shown below:

= Dollar value × fund charges a 12b-1 fee

= $211,200 × 0.8%

= $211,200 × 0.008

= $1689.60

Since the question has asked the fee amount so we consider the fee charges percentage, not the capital investment Lifecycle fund. Thus, we ignore the Capital Investments Lifecycle Fund as it is not relevant.

Hence, the amount of the fee is $1689.60
