OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$25.50
90,000 units
140,000 units

Explanation:

1. Current contribution margin ratio

= (Selling price - Variable cost)/ Selling price

= (25 - 19.8) / 25

= 0.208

New Direct labor = 5.0 * ( 1 + 8%)

= $5.40

New variable cost = 19.8 + 0.4 = $20.20

To maintain 0.208

0.208 = (Selling price - 20.20) / Selling price

0.208 * Price = Price - 20.20

0.208Price - Price = -20.20

-0.792Price = -20.20

Price = -20.20/-0.792

Price = $25.50

2. Breakeven = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin

Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= 25 - 19.8

= $5.20

= 468,000/5.2

= 90,000 units

3. To earn $260,000;

= (Fixed Cost + 260,000) / Contribution margin

= (468,000 + 260,000) /5.2

= 140,000 units

Which of the following methods is useful for recovering stolen property

Tju [1.3M]

Since you didn't give any methods to choose from, I will post several that can help a person recover their stolen goods. Contacting the police is the best way to recover your goods. A person should always write down serial numbers of their items such as electronics, guns, etc. The police should document and recover any physical evidence left at the crime scene. If you have jewelry in your home, you should always have a picture of all the jewelry to aid in the recovery. <span />

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

B. order priority provisions

Explanation:

When investors want to purchase municipal bonds in the primary markets, it is important for the issuer to prioritise orders from investors in a bond offering.

The underwriter must follow the issuer's priority of orders in allocating purchase orders for municipal bonds.

So in a competitive municipal syndicate when a customer asks for order priority provisions, it must be provided by the dealer.

This shows transparency of the process to the investor as he now knows when each order will be filled.
