<u>Explanation:</u>

Sunk cost means the cost that has been already incurred in the past and cannot be recovered. This implies that sunk costs should be not be considered in future decision making of the project, because these are the cost that can not be changed with under taking the project or not. The significant aspect about this costs is that they shouldn't be allowed to influence subsequent decisions.

With the theatre ticket example, there's an opportunity to leave the theatre at the intermission and spend the rest of your evening doing something else more enjoyable. If you don't like the play then you might decide to leave, but the sunk cost of the ticket shouldn't influence your decision to stay or leave.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

1. Regular models 24,000

Deluxe models 3,556

2.17.4354%

Explanation:

1. Computation for the number of regular models and deluxe models that must be sold to break even

REGULAR MODEL:

First step is to calculate the Contribution per unit using this formula

Contribution per unit=Contribution/No.ofunits

Let plug in the formula

Contribution per unit=$4,500,000/90

Contribution per unit=50

Now let calculate the Break even units using this formula

Break even units=Direct fixed costs/Contribution per unit

Let plug in the formula

Break even units=$1,200,000/50

Break even units=24,000

DELUXE MODEL:

First step is to calculate the Contribution per unit using this formula

Contribution per unit=Contribution/No.ofunits

Let plug in the formula

Contribution per unit=$4,860,000/18,000

Contribution per unit=270

Now let calculate the Break even units using this formula

Break even units=Direct fixed costs/Contribution per unit

Let plug in the formula

Break even units=960,000/270

Break even units=3,556

Therefore the number of regular models and deluxe models that must be sold to break even are:

Regular models 24,000

Deluxe models 3,556

2. Computation for the sales revenue that must be generated for the company to break even

First step is to calculate the Break-even sales -

Break-even sales = 16,290,000 + 2,160,000 + 1,280,000

Break-even sales = 19,730,000

Second step is to calculate the Contribution Using this formula

Contribution = Break-even sales - Variable costs

Let plug in the formula

Contribution = 19,730,000 - 16,290,000

Contribution = $3,440,000

Now let calculate the Contribution margin ratio using this formula

Contribution margin ratio=Contribution/Break even sales *100

Contribution margin ratio=$3,440,000/$19,730,000*100

Contribution margin ratio=17.4354%

Therefore the Contribution margin ratio is 17.4354%

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the foregone advantage of not setting certain options in decision making. When a particular option is preferred over others, then benefit from the other options not selected are forfeited. The forfeited benefits represent the opportunity cost.

The value of opportunity cost is equated to the value of the next best alternative. Where there were more than two alternatives available, the next best alternative from the chosen option becomes the opportunity cost. In this case, improvement to the building was voted the second preferred option; hence it becomes the opportunity cost.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

$3,129,414.40

Explanation:

i = 18% compounded monthly = 18% / 12 = 1.5% = 0.015

n = 2 yrs = 2 * 12 = 24 months

Growth(g) = 1% = 0.01

Present value of geometric series = A * [1 - (1+g)^n / (1+i)^n] / (I - g)

Present value of geometric series = $140000 * [1 - (1+0.01)^24 / (1+0.015)^24] / (0.015 - 0.01)

Present value of geometric series = $140000 * 1 - 0.8882352 / 0.005

Present value of geometric series = $140000 * 0.1117648 / 0.005

Present value of geometric series = $140000 * 22.35296

Present value of geometric series = $3,129,414.40

Thus, the present worth of the savings at an interest rate of 18% per year, compounded monthly is $3,129,414.40
