GaryK [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Each country can consume at a point outside their production possibilities frontier.

Explanation:

A country is said to be specializing in the production of a good if it can produce the good at a lower opportunity cost. When countries produce the good they specialize in producing and trade with other countries. All the countries will be able to consume more.

The countries will produce on its production possibilities frontier at the intercept of the good they specialize in and consume at a point outside their production possibility frontier.

High Flying takes tourists on helicopter tours of Hawaii. Each tourist buys a $190 ticket; the variable costs average $57 per pe

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

d.

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

The questions are:

a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even

b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200

c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point.

1. A decrease in tour prices.

2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).

3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.

Solution:

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = 450 tours per month

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = $850

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

An external competitor to Construction (from another island) is offering to build the new homes for $1300 each. Here are facts a

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

a. The minimum transfer price (per home) that Construction would be willing to accept would be $1,270

b. The maximum transfer price (per home) Island Evaluations would be willing to accept would be $1,300

Explanation:

a. According to the given data If Construction accepts the proposal of Island Evaluations, then it has to foregone the profits which could have been earned if Construction accepted the proposal of local villagers to build an incline, a bridge and a campground.

Hence, minimum transfer price (per home) for Construction should be such that it covers the profit foregone as given above:

Now, profit foregone is calculated as per the table below:

Figures in $

Particulars Revenue Cost Profit

Incline 1400 600 800

Bridge 1500 950 550

Campground 2700 1200 1500

Total 5600 2750 2850

Therefore, the transfer price should be such which can generate a profit of $2,850 for Construction.

Therefore, total revenue which should be generated = Cost of building five new homes + Profit foregone

= 700*5 + 2850 = $6,350

Hence, minimum transfer price (per home) should be = 6350/5 = $1,270

b. The maximum transfer price (per home) that Island Evaluations will be willing to accept is $1,300 per home as quoted by the external competitor from another island.
