Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $396,000 to $684,000 and woul

d decrease the current variable costs of $80 by $20 per unit. The selling price of $120 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $1,188,000 and current break-even units are 9,900. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised contribution margin ratio would be:

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Contribution margin is used to determine the profitability of a product. it is price less variable cost

Contribution margin ratio = (price - variable costs) / price

variable cost = 80 - 20 = 60

price = 120

(120 - 60) / 120 = 50%

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

With the information in the question, we can make the following table:

Number of        Output of     Marginal  Marginal  Marginal

workers/day     hats/day       Product   Revenue  Cost

0                        0                    0              $0             $0

1                         10                   10            $20           $15

2                        26                  16            $32           $15

3                        36                  10            $20           $15

4                        44                  8              $16            $15

5                        49                  5             $10            $15

6                        52                  3             $6             $15

(a) After which worker do diminishing marginal returns begin?

As it can be seen in the table, after the third worker is hired, the diminishing marginal returns begin, because while the marginal product of the second worker is 16 hats, the marginal product of the third worker is 10 hats.

(b) Calculate the marginal physical product of the fifth worker.

The marginal product of the fifth worker is 5 hats.

(c) Calculate the marginal revenue product of the third worker.

The marginal revenue of the third worker is $20.

(d) How many workers will GW hire to maximize profit?

It should hire four workers. By the fourth worker, the marignal revenue is $16, while the marginal cost of hiring the additional fourth worker is $15. In a perfectly competitive market, the profit maximization point is obtained where marginal revenue = marginal cost, which is almost the case here.

(e) if GW Company has fixed costs equal to $20, what will be the company's short-run economic profits from hiring two workers?

If two workers are hired, the total revenue is $52. If the company has fixed costs of $20, and hires two workers costing each $15, the total costs are $50, therefore, in the short-run, the profit is $2.

(1) If the price of hats increases, what will happen to the number of workers hired in the short run?

The number of workers hired will increase because a higher price for hats means a higher marginal revenue for each worker.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Description                              2017              2016            2015

Net Income                             $146,402‬    $107,281‬       $123,114‬

Explanation:

The question is to compute a statement of income comparative figures. The step is therefore to use the weighted average pricing method to replace the historical income before taxes for both years 2016 and 2015. After this is done, we then re-calculate the appropriate taxes and arrive at the net income.

Description                              2017              2016            2015

Income before taxes             206,200         151,100        173,400

Subtract: Income tax @29%   59,798‬           43,819‬           50,286‬

Net Income                             146,402‬         107,281‬         123,114‬

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Tomatoes are produced in a bulk and the canned products are sent out in batches but the process of moving tomatoes from receiving through packaging and processing is done on a conveyor belt which is a continuous process.

Therefore, the production of tomatoes in a bulk is a continuous process which goes on around the clock on a conveyor belt and the final products are sent out in batches which have their own unique identity number.
