Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing financial

difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below: Sales (12,800 units × $20 per unit) $ 256,000 Variable expenses 153,600 Contribution margin 102,400 Fixed expenses 114,400 Net operating loss $ (12,000 ) Required: 1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales. 2. The president believes that a $6,700 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $84,000 increase in monthly sales.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (12,800 units × $20 per unit) $256,000

Variable expenses 153,600 (12)

Contribution margin 102,400

Fixed expenses 114,400 Net operating loss $ (12,000 )

<u>First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio and the break-even point in units and dollars:</u>

Contribution margin ratio= unitary CM / Selling price

Contribution margin ratio= total CM / Sales

Contribution margin ratio= 102,400 / 256,000

Contribution margin ratio= 0.4

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 114,400 / (20 - 12)

Break-even point in units= 14,300

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 114,400 / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $286,000

<u>Now, we need to calculate the effect on the income of increasing the advertising budget:</u>

<u></u>

Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in fixed costs

Effect on income= 84,000*0.4 - 6,700

Effect on income= $26,900 increase

The operational design of an illicit drug business can be divided into four stages of production and distribution: cultivation,
vesna_86 [32]
Retail distribution

The illegal drug business or trade primarily consists of the cultivation, manufacture, distribution and sales of prohibited drugs.

Cultivation and manufacture involves planting and harvesting prohibited drugs from plant sources (e.g. opium or marijuana) and processing the plant raw materials to produce the final product. For synthetic drugs, manufacture entails securing (sometimes by importation) of the chemicals required for the production of a certain drug (e.g. methamphetamine). Importation of the raw materials or final products might also be necessary to meet the demands.

With the final product at hand, the next step is to distribute and sell the drugs -- wholesale or retail. Wholesale distribution and sales involve large amounts (in bulk) of the illegal drugs while retail involves smaller amounts.

Complete the following sentence. When the long run average cost (LRAC) curve has a positive slope, it implies there are:
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

It implies there are diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

It implies there are diseconomies of scale in the industry

Because as the quantity of units output increase, the cost also increase. While in economies of scale, the slope for the LRAC will be negative, as each increase in output lowers the cost.

When this occurs, there is a lower change of monopoly in the industry, as the larger firm also faces the larger cost, so the supply tend to be more diverse.

While a, indifined negative slope will generate monopolies as their cost become lower at gerater the output.

Rice is a cheap staple food eaten multiple times of day by many people all over the world. In Trufflelandia, residents also eat
enot [183]

Answer:

Rice is so cheap and truffles are so expansive because D. People eat so much rice that an additional serving of rice has little marginal value, but the marginal value of another serving of truffles is very high.

Explanation:

When it comes to tasty or nutritious foods, there should not be any reason to be more expensive than others food stuffs. However, they often cost a little more. Regarding rice and its easy way of cooking, it is not a strong argument to talk about the price. So the right answer D, due to the fact that is true that eating a higher rate of rice won't have such a great marginal value as it will with truffles. It has to do a lot with higher demand of rice.
