Answer:

Break even point in dollar sales = $1,050,000

Explanation:

Break Even Point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost/ Contribution margin percentage

Contribution margin percentage = (Contribution margin/ Sales) X 100

Here we have for the year 2017

Contribution margin = $194,750

Sales = $779,000

Contribution margin percentage = ($194,750/$779,000) X 100 = 25%

Break even point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost $262,500/25%

= $1,050,000

As an oligopoly firm produces at a higher output, economies of scale allow the costs per unit (atc) to _____________ significant

asambeis [7]

As an Oligopoly firm produces at a higher output, economies of scale allow the costs per unit (ATC) to <u>decline</u> significantly.

When firms in an oligopoly market individually chooses production in order to maximize profit, a quantity of output is produced by them which is higher than the level produced by monopoly and lesser than the level produced by competition.

The existence of economies of scale in certain industries can lead to oligopolistic market structures in those industries. This oligopoly market structure refers to a market form in which there are only a few sellers and they sell similar products.

The Oligopoly firm produces at a higher output, and so the costs per unit here decline significantly. Oligopoly firms are also able to take advantage of economies of scale that reduce production costs and prices.

Thus, when the oligopoly firm produces at a higher output, economies of scale allow the costs per unit (ATC) to decline significantly.

A stock has an expected return of 13.5 percent, its beta is 1.40, and the expected return on the market is 11.5 percent. What mu

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The risk free rate is 6.50%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rM is the return on market

As we know the figures for r, Beta and rM, we will input these figures in the equation to calculate risk free rate.

Let risk free rate be x.

0.135 = x + 1.4 * (0.115 - x)

0.135 = x + 0.161 - 1.4x

0.135 - 0.161 = x - 1.4x

-0.026 = -0.4x

-0.026 / -0.4 = x

x = 0.065 or 6.50%

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Blaster Corporation manufactures hiking boots. For the coming year, the company has budgeted the following costs for the product

Aleks [24]

Answer:

a. Sales volume = (Fixed costs + Target income) / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed costs = ( Percentage of fixed Selling and Admin expenses) +

Percentage of fixed Manufacturing expenses

= 600,000 * 80% + 720,000 * 75%

= 480,000 + 540,000

= $1,020,000

30,000 units = (1,020,000 + 900,000) / Contribution Margin per unit

Contribution margin per unit = 1,920,000/30,000

= $64

Sales per unit = Contribution margin per unit + Variable cost per unit

Variable Cost per unit = 21 + 10 + (24*25%) + (20 * 20%)

= $41

Sales per unit = 64 + 41

= $105 per unit

b - 1. Fixed costs = ( Percentage of fixed Selling and Admin expenses) + Percentage of fixed Manufacturing expenses

= 600,000 * 80% + 720,000 * 75%

= 480,000 + 540,000

= $1,020,000

b - 2. Variable Cost per unit

= Direct materials + Direct Labor + variable percentage of Manufacturing overhead cost per unit + variable percentage of Selling and administrative per unit

= 21 + 10 + (24*25%) + (20 * 20%)

= $41

b - 3. Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= 121 - 41

= $80

b - 4. Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin

= 1,020,000/80

= 12,750 units
