Answer:
$2,222,222.22
Explanation:
The data provided in the question
Annual scholarship provided = $100,000
Guaranteed rate of return = 4.5%
So by considering the above information, the amount i.e deposited today is
= Annual scholarship provided ÷ Guaranteed rate of return
= $100,000 ÷ 4.50%
= $2,222,222.22
By dividing the annual scholarship by the rate of return we can get the deposited amount
Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold
If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:
(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000
24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.
Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units
We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!
Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833
Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)
Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72
10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200
Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000
Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)
Answer:
The government needs to revamp the Social Security program to make it sustainable.
Explanation:
A normative economic statement is always a suggestion for the economy, whereas a descriptive economic statement is a statement providing information, as it states the facts and do not provide any suggestion.
Here, in given instance the statement,
Government needs to improve or form the Social Security Program, so that the program is sustainable, is a suggestion and not a fact.
Thus, it is a normative economic statement.
