Answer:
To increase its revenue, transit authority should lower the fare.
Explanation:
The 'elasticity of demand' measures the change in consumers response in quantity he demands as a result of the change in price, other factors remaining same.
A product is called elastic if with the increase or decrease in price, there is a drastic change in the quantity demand of the product. If the transit authority will lower its fare, then their revenue will increase as the elasticity of demand for bus trip is 1.2. By lowering the fare, the demand would increase and their revenue will increase.
In a limited partnership:
The inactive partner has limited liability for the business's debts
Explanation:
In a general partnership all partners share equal financial responsibility for the firm's decisions.
This means that all partners are supposed to have equal liabilities but hat is not the case for limited ones.
In limited partnerships there is a general partner who owns most of the business and has most of the availability and the limited partner has pooled resources for the business but has very little personal responsibility to it.
This model is usually there when the firm needs some investors and the person running business is usually the owner only.
Answer:
e) $4,651
Explanation:
The break-even point is the level of activity that a company must operate to have its total cost equal to its total revenue. At this level of activity, the business makes a zero profit, as the total contribution is exactly the same as the total fixed cost.
It is important for the business to have an idea of the number of customers or units of product to sell inorder for it to cover its total fixed cost. This is the information the break-point analysis seeks to provide.
Working it out
Break-point in sales = Total General fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio (CMR): Contribution is sales less variable costs. And the contribution margin ratio is the proportion of sales that is earned as contribution. The higher the better.
CMR = contribution/sales
Fixed cost = Contribution + net loss
We can now apply all these relationships to the question given:
Fixed cost = 1720 + 280
= 4,000
Contribution margin ratio = 1720/400 = 43%
Break-even sales ($) = 4000/0.43
= $4,651
Answer:
(a) $3.48 per unit
(b) 64.2%
Explanation:
(a) Anthony’s contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $5.42 - $1.94
= $3.48 per unit
Therefore, the Anthony’s contribution margin per unit is $3.48 per unit.
(b) Anthony's contribution margin ratio:
= (Contribution Margin Per unit ÷ Selling Price per unit) × 100
= ($3.48 per unit ÷ $5.42 per unit) × 100
= 0.6420 × 100
= 64.20%
Therefore, the Anthony's contribution margin ratio is 64.2%.
