Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The benefit cost ratio is 1.564

Explanation:

The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the present value of benefits to the present value of costs. It is thus calculated as follows.

Benefit-cost ratio = Present value of benefits / Present value of costs

Present value of costs = $20,000 + $2,500 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)

= $20,000 + $15,361

= $35,361

Present value of benefits = $9,000 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)

= $9,000 x 6.145

= $55,305

Benefit-cost ratio = $55,305 / $35,361

= 1.564

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit) $585,000 $585,000

Variable expenses 409,500 351,000

Contribution margin 175,500 234,000

Fixed expenses 180,000 252,000

Net operating loss $(4,500) $( 18,000)

New Cm ratio= Contribution Margin/ Sales Revenue

= $ 234,000 $ 585,000 = 0.4

Break-even point in dollars= Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Cost/ Sales)

= 252,000/ 1- (351,000/ 585,000)

= 252,000/ 1-0.6

= 252,000/0.4= $ 630,000

The resulting $ 630,000 is the break even point at which neither a loss nor a profit is incurred.This can be checked as follows.

Sales $ 630,000

Variable Costs ( 60 % $ 630,000) $ 378,000

Contribution Margin $ 252,000

Less Fixed Expense <u>$ 252,000</u>

Profit <u> 0 </u>

Break even point in units = Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin in units

= $ 252,000/ (30-18)

=$ 252,000/ $ 12= 21,000 units

Sales (26,000 units at $30 per unit) $780,000 $780,000

Variable expenses 546,000 468,000

Contribution margin 234,000 312,000

Fixed expenses 180,000 252,000

Net operating Profit $ 54,000 $ 60,000

Working:

Variable Costs per unit = $ 409500/19500= $ 21

After reduction variable costs = $ 21- $3= $ 18

Barbara is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve, total revenue curve, marginal revenue curve, and total cost c

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Profit is Maximize when MR = MC

since MR=40 - 0.5Q

and MC= 4

Therefore:

40-0.5Q = 4

-0.5Q = 4 - 40

-0.5Q= -36

divide through by -0.5

Q = 72

since Q = 72

from Q = 160 - 4p

72 = 160 - 4P

-4p = 72 - 160

-4P = -88

divide through by -4

P = 22

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Actual Price paid for materials = $4.2136 $\times$ 2,200 = $9,270

Actual price per unit = $4.2136

Explanation:

Provided information,

Standard Material per unit = $4

Total cost = $8,400

Standard Quantity = $8,400/$4 = 2,100 units

Provided Material Price variance = $470 unfavorable = - $470

$= (Standard Price - Actual Price) \times Actual Units$

Material Quantity Variance = $400 Unfavorable = - $400

$= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) \times Standard Rate$

Using Material Quantity Variance

- $400 = (2,100 - Actual Quantity) $\times$ $4

-$400/$4 = 2,100 - Actual Quantity

Actual Quantity = 2,100 + 100 = 2,200 units

Now, putting this value in Material Price Variance we have,

- $470 = ($4 - Actual Price) $\times$ 2,200

-$470/2,200 = $4 - Actual Price

- $0.214 = $4 - Actual Price

Actual Price = $4 + $0.2136 = $4.2136

Final Answer

Actual Price paid for materials = $4.2136 $\times$ 2,200 = $9,270

Actual price per unit = $4.2136
