Answer:

2. as the price level for outputs rises, with the price of inputs remaining fixed

Explanation:

In the short run, the aggregate supply curve slopes upwards because the price of goods and services, or in other words, the price of the ouputs that firms produce, is expected to rise, incentivizing firms to produce more.

On the other hand, the price of inputs, and especially, the price of labor (wages) will remain the same in the short-run because wages are sticky, and do not respond to market forces as quickly as the price of goods and services.

Therefore, if what the firm sells is increasing in price, but the labor it hires continues to have the same wage, the firm has even more incentive to produce more, because it will make a higher profit due to the difference between sales revenue and wage expenses.

3-30 Operating leverage. Cover Rugs is holding a 2-week carpet sale at Josh’s Club, a local warehouse store. Cover Rugs plans to
Leni [432]

Answer:

The step by step answer to your problem is given below:

Explanation:

1A) Break even point for option 1:    

Sales- Variable cost= Fixed cost    

Q* $950-Q*$760= $7410    

Q*$190= $7410  

Q=$7410/$190  

Q= 39 carpets

1B) Breakeven point for Option 2    

Sales- variable cost-rent cost= 0    

Q*$950- $760*Q- (Q*950*10%)= 0    

95Q= 0    

Q= 0

2. At what level of revenues will Cover Rugs earn the same operating income under either option?

Operating income under Option 1 = $190Q - $7140

Operating income under Option 2 = $95Q

We have to find Q such that $190Q - $7140 = $95Q

Q=$7410/$95= 78 Carpets

Revenue= $950 x 78 = $74,100

For Q = 78 Carpets, operating income under both option 1 and 2 will be = $7410

a. For what range of unit sales will Cover Rugs prefer Option 1? b. For what range of unit sales will Cover Rugs prefer Option 2?

For Q > 78, say 79 carpets:

Option 1 gives operating income= (190*79) - 7410= $7600

Option 2 gives operating income= 95*79= $7505

So color rugs will prefer Option 1.

For Q < 78, say 77 carpets:

Option 1 gives operating income= (190*77) - 7410= $7220

Option 2 gives operating income= 95*77= $7315

So color rugs will prefer Option 2.

3. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of 65 units for the two rental options.

Operating Leverage= \frac{Contribution margin}{Operating Income}

= Contribution margin per unit x Numbers of Carpet Sold= Contribution Margin

Under Option 1,

Contribution Margin per unit= $950-$760=$190,

Operating income= $190*65-$7410= $4940.

Degree of Operating Leverage= \frac{190*65}{6175}

=2.5

Under Option 2,

Contribution Margin per unit= $950-$760-$760-0.10*$950=$95,

Operating income= $95x65-$0= $6175.

\frac{95*65}{6175}

=1.0

4. Briefly explain and interpret your answer to requirement 3.

The degree of operating leverage helps managers calculate and anticipate the effects of fluctuations in sales on operating income. The calculation in requirement 3 show that when sales are 65 units, a % change in sales and contribution margin will result in 2.5 times that % change in operating income for option 1. But the same % change in Option 2 because there are no fix costs attached in option 2.

Cannonier, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,040 2 1,270 3 1,490 4
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Total FV= $7,313.7

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,040 2 1,270 3 1,490 4 2,230

Discount rate= 9% = 0.09

<u>To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow</u>:

FV= Cf*(1+i)^n

FV1= 1,040*(1.09^4)= 1,468.04

FV2= 1,270*(1.09^3)= 1.644.69

FV3= 1,490*(1.09^2)= 1,770.27

FV4= 2,230*1.09= 2,430.7

Total FV= $7,313.7
