Answer:

c. It will increase.

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity at which a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break - even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit </em>

therefore,

<u>Existing break-even point in units :</u>

Break - even units = $16,000 ÷ ($40 - $18) = 727.27 or 728 units

<u>New break-even point in units :</u>

Break - even units = $21,000 ÷ ($40 - $16) = 875 units

Conclusion :

The results show that break-even point in units will increase from 728 units to  875 units as a result of the changes

marta [7]

Answer:

BEP units:          42,017

BEP dollars: 2,100,850

unit cost at 100,000 units produced: 22.40 dollars

operating profit :    1,656,000

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

50 - 2.4 = 47.6 contirbution margin per unit

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

2,000,000/47.6 = 42.016,80 BEP units

BEP units x sales price = BEP dollars

42,017 x 50 = 2,100,850

(B)

fixed cosy/ units produced = fixed cost per unit

2,000,000/ 100,000 = 20 fixed cost per unit

fixed cost + variable cost = total cost

20 + 2.40 = 22.4

(C)

There are 40% units sold at the preferred customer at cost

So we sale at gain only 60% of the units:

100,000 units x 60% x 50       =  3,000,000

100,000 units x 40% x 22.40  =     896,000

Total revenue                              3,896,000

Cost: 100,000 x 22.40          <u>     (2,240,000)  </u>

operating profit                            1,656,000

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

Dora earns 50,000 a year at her johs. when she was given a raise of 5,000 her spending increased from 50,000 to 54,000 calvulate
weqwewe [10]
Given:
ΔY = $5,000, the change in income
ΔS = 50,000 - 54,000 = - 4,000, the change in savings.

By definition,
MPS (Marginal Propensity to Spend) is
MPS = ΔS/ΔY = -4000/5000 = -0.8

The relation between MPS and MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) is
MPS + MPC = 1.
Therefore
MPC - 0.8 = 1
MPC = 1.8

Answer:
MPS = 0.8
MPC = 1.8

Viktor [21]

Answer:

June 1st:

Retained Earnings (Dr.)                 $8,000,000

Dividends Payable (Cr.)                $8,000,000

June 30th

Dividends Payable (Dr.)               $8,000,000

Cash (Cr.)                                      $8,000,000

These entries will remain same even in the case of liquidating dividend.

Explanation:

On June 1st the dividend is declared so the journal entry will be

Retained Earnings (Dr.)                 $8,000,000

Dividends Payable (Cr.)                $8,000,000

There will be no journal entry on June 14th.

On June 30th the dividend is paid:

Dividends Payable (Dr.)               $8,000,000

Cash (Cr.)                                      $8,000,000

The entry would not have differed if it was a liquidating dividend.
