Answer:

Margin of safety= 150 units

Margin of safety ratio= 15.9%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $29

Variable expense per unit $18

Fixed expense per month $8,800

Unit sales per month 950

To calculate the margin of safety both in units and as a percentage of sales, first, we need to calculate the break-even point in units.

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 8,800/ (29 - 18)= 800 units

Now, we can calculate the margin of safety in units:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= (950 - 800)= 150 units

As a percentage of sales:

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 150/950= 0.159= 15.9%

Answer:

MOS (in units)   = 150 units

MOS ( in %) = 15.79%

Explanation:

<em>Margin of safety (MOS) </em><em>determines the amount by which expected sales exceeds the break-even point (BEP). </em>

MOS can be calculated as follows:

<em>MOS (units) = Budgeted sales - BEP</em>

<em>BEP= Fixed cost for the period / contribution per unit</em>

Contribution per unit =  Selling price - variable cost per unit

Contribution per unit = $29 - $18 =

                      =$ 11

BEP (units) = 8,800/ 11 = 800

MOS (in units) = 950 - 800 = 150 units

 MOS (in units)      = 150 units

2)  Margin of Safety as a %

(150/950 ) × 100= 15.79%

MOS( in %) = 15.79%

5. When might a company decide that it needs to hire a human resource professional?​
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Below are a few reasons why a business might consider hiring a trained HR officer

It is recommended to hire a Human resource specialist once a company has 50 employees and above. When a business has over 50 employees, it needs someone trained to manage their welfare and other human resources issues.

When a company is growing or expanding rapidly, it requires to employ more people.  No matter the size of a business, when a business is hiring people frequently, it needs an HR officer to coordinate the recruitment process.

If a manager spends over 3 hours a day handling employee issues, then it's time to employ a trained HR officer. This gives the manager time to focus on their core mandate.  A dedicated specialist will be best suited to address employee issues, which is beneficial to both the company and the employees.

What is the value of $1000 investment that loses 5% each year for eight years
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$663.420

Explanation:

The value for the investment is the future of $1000, earning a compound interest of -5% for eight years.

The formula for compound interest is as below.

FV = PV × (1+r)^n

Fv = $1000 x ( 1 + (-5/100)^8

Fv= $1000 x (1 +(-0.05)^8

FV= $1000 x (0.95)^8

Fv=$1000x 0.6634204

Fv=$663.420

The value will be $663.42
