Sales 960000
Variable expenses:
Cost of good sold 670000
Variable selling 80000
(5 per book*16000 books)
Variable administrative 38400
(960000*4%)
Total variables expenses 788400
contribution margin 171600
working note:
unit sales=960000/60 per book=16000 book
Answer: Price of stock at year end =$53
Explanation:
we first compute the Expected rate of return using the CAPM FORMULAE that
Expected return =risk-free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)
Expected return=6% + 1.2 ( 16%-6%)
Expected return= 0.06 + 1.2 (10%)
Expected return=0.06+ 0.12
Expected return=0.18
Using the formulae Po= D1 / R-g to find the growth rate
Where Po= current price of stock at $50
D1= Dividend at $6 at end of year
R = Expected return = 0.18
50= 6/ 0.18-g
50(0.18-g) =6
9-50g=6
50g=9-6
g= 3/50
g=0.06 = 6%
Now that we have gotten the growth rate and expected return, we can now determine the price the investors are expected to sell the stock at the end of year.
Price of stock = D( 1-g) / R-g
= 6( 1+0.06)/ 0.18 -0.06
=6+0.36/0.12
=6.36/0.12= $53
Answer: b). falls from a positive amount to another positive amount
Explanation: Given that diet coke and diet pepsi give the consumer equal level of satisfaction. Diet coke and diet pepsi are substitutes, since, the consumer does not care about consuming diet pepsi and diet coke. For substitute goods the consumer will buy the cheapest of the two. When pdc (price of diet coke) rises but it remains less than pdp(price of diet pepsi) then the consumption of dc will decrease but it will still be above the consumption of dp. Since it is still relatively less expensive than diet pepsi. So the consumer will buy diet coke than diet pepsi, which means consumption of diet coke, dc falls from one positive amount to another positive amount.
Answer:
b. producers are more willing and able to hire that resource
Explanation:
In production resources are defines as various inputs in the production process of a product.
It contributes to the final product that a consumer buys and they have their various costs which are used to obtain their use.
So when the price of a resource decreases, it means that the cost of production also decreases.
There is now more outlay of cash that can be used hire that resource.
Producers are able to produce more of the final product so supply increases.
