Answer:

Break-even point (units)= 90 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Large forklift:

Selling price= $80,000 per unit

Unitary variable cost= $26,000 per unit.

Small forklifts:

Selling price= $60,000 per unit

Unitary variable cost= $12,000 per unit.

Total fixed costs for the company are $4,455,000.

Sales proportion:

Large forklift= 0.25

Small forklift= 0.75

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.25*80,000 + 0.75*60,000) - (0.25*26,000 + 0.75*12,000)

Weighted average contribution margin= 65,000 - 15,500= 49,500

Break-even point (units)= 4,455,000/ 49,500

Break-even point (units)= 90 units

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

a) The equivalent annual costs of the Econo-Cool models= $436.50

b) The equivalent annual costs of the of Luxury Air models = $515

c)Econo-cool model

d 1 .(i) $464.15

      (ii) $597.95

d 2 . Econo-cool model

Explanation:

a) Econo-cool model

Purchase price= $350

Discount =21%

Electricity bill= $160 per year

Annual cost per year will be

$350 * 79/100 =$276.50 ------after applying the 21% discount

$276.50+$160 =$436.50 -------after adding electricity cost per year

The equivalent annual costs of the Econo-Cool models= $436.50

b) Luxury Air Models

  Purchase price at the shop=$550

  Discount =21%

  Buying price =79/100*$500 = $395

 Electricity cost = $120 per year

 Annual cost = $395+$120 =$515

The equivalent annual costs of the of Luxury Air models = $515

c) The Econo-cool model

d (1) Econo-cool model

$350 *110/100 =$ 385 -----due to inflation

Apply the discount = 385*79/100 =$304.15

Add the cost of electricity = $304.15+$160 =$464.15

For Luxury Air model

$550*110/100 =$605

Apply the discount = $605*79/100 =$477.95

Add electricity bill = $477.95 +$120 =$597.95

Assume that the price elasticity of demand for movie theatres is 20.85 during all evening shows but for all afternoon shows the
zalisa [80]

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.
