Answer:
160,000 units
Explanation:
Step 1 : Determine the Sales Mix
Bramble : Standard
60000 : 40000
3 : 2
Step 2 : Determine the Overall Break even Point
Break even Point = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $2400000 ÷ $30
= 80,000
Step 3 : Determine break-even point for Standards
Standards Break even point = 80,000 x 2
= 160,000 units
Thus,
Bramble Corp would sell 160,000 units of Standards at the break-even point

Answer:
It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business
Explanation:
Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).
What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.
Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?
That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
We could allocate assembly overhead on the basis of the parts used in the assembly process:
wheels ⇒ 300,000 x 2 parts = 600,000 parts
<u>seats ⇒ 600,000 x 3 parts = 1,800,000 parts</u>
total parts assembled 2,400,000 parts
overhead costs per part assembled = $360,000 / 2,400,000 parts = $0.15 per part
so the overhead allocated to wheels should be = 600,000 parts x $0.15 per part = $90,000
Atleast 5 dollars because of how there is a limited supply of gasoline today
