A real estate agent is considering changing her land line phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve

a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.39 a minute for daytime calls and $.19 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.49 a minute for daytime calls and $.14 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $75 with 225 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.36 per minute beyond that, day or evening.
Required:
a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B?

Answer:

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95 ;

PLAN A is optimal from 0 to 192 minutes

PLAN C is optimal from 192 minutes onward ;

Explanation:

PLAN A :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.39 per minute

Evening = $0.19 per minute

PLAN B :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.49 per minute

Evening = $0.14 per minute

PLAN C :

Service charge = $20

225 minutes = $75

Minutes beyond 225 = $0.36 per minute

A.)

Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95

b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?

PLAN A:

20 + 0.39D = 95

0.39D = 95 - 20

D = 75 / 0.39

D = 192.31

Alternative A would involve substantial fixed but relatively low variable costs: fixed costs would be $250,000 per year, and var
stepladder [879]

Answer:

From zero to 33 boats option B would be best

Explanation:

Assuming the first alternative (A)is 250,000 fixed and 500 per boat

second (B) 2,500 cost per boat

and third (C) 50,000 fixed and 1,000 cost per boat

We want' to know at which level B would be the best option

we want to know when alternative C or A have a cost of 2,500 or lower:

A:

500 + \frac{250,000}{Q} = 2,500

\frac{250,000}{2,500 - 500} = Q

Q = 125

From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking C better than B

C:

1,000 + \frac{50,000}{Q} = 2,500

\frac{50,000}{2,500 - 1,000} = Q

Q = 33.33

From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking A better than B

From zero to 33 boats option B would be the best of the three options

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Ks = 4%+6% = 10%

Explanation:

so we need  to remember that tax rate doesn't affect Cost of equity

in this case the formula will be:

cost of equity is equal to=dividend yield+Growth rate  or Ks = D1/P + g

Camp Company's expected dividend yield ( D1) is 4%

growth rate is 6%

SO we get Ks = 4%+6% = 10%

John is trying to decide whether to expand his business or not.
wariber [46]

Answer:

B) John can expect to earn $120,000 in revenue more by expanding, but that is less than the cost of expansion, $150,000.

Explanation:

If John decides not to expand his expected revenue will be = ($100,000 x 50%) + ($300,000 x 50%) = $50,000 + $150,000 = $200,000

If John decides to expand his expected revenue will be = ($100,000 x 30%) + ($300,000 x 30%) + ($500,000 x 40%) = $30,000 + $90,000 + $200,000 = $320,000

If John decides to expand, his revenue will increase by $120,000.

Since we are not told if John's revenue is yearly or not, I assume that it includes a whole business or project cycle. The cost of expanding is $150,000 while the incremental revenue is only $120,000.
