In 2012, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $300 each. Variable expenses were $210per unit, and fixed expenses were $120,000. Th
katrin [286]

Answer:

Teller's break-even point in sales dollars for 2012 is $400,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point in dollars is shown below:

Break even point (in dollars) = (Fixed expenses) ÷ (contribution ratio)

where,

Fixed expense is $120,000

And, the contribution ratio equals to

= (Contribution per unit)  ÷ (sales per unit) × 100

where,

Contribution is = Selling price - variable cost per unit

                        = $300 - $210

                        = $90 per unit

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the ratio would be

= ($90 per unit) ÷ ($300 per unit) × 100

= 30%

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the value would be

= $120,000 ÷ 30%

= $400,000

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

d. beta did a better job of explaining the returns than standard deviation

Explanation:

Beta measures the systemic risk associated with the particular investment, it do not compute the total risk associated, which is more  logical.

Standard deviation computes the total risk associated.

Some risk is natural, like the risk of floods, natural calamities, earthquake, etc:

That risk shall not counted as for comparison as that is associated universally. Further, the risk associated with particular factors like bankruptcy of a company, or some legal case issue of a company are precisely described by beta coefficient.

Thus, beta provides better details about explaining the returns.
