In which Step of production process are materials manipulated

The Quorum Company has a prospective 6-year project that requires initial fixed assets costing $962,000, annual fixed costs of $

diamong [38]

Answer:

5375

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Fixed assets costing = $962000

Annual fixed costs = $403400

Variable cost per unit = $123.60

Sales price per unit = $249.00

Discount rate = 14%

Tax rate = 21%

The contribution per unit = Sales price - Variable cost

= $(249.00 - 123.60)

= $125.40

The present value break-even point(BEP) is the region of sales level where the net present value (NPV) equals zero.

Assuming that the sales level = p

i.e.

NPV = PV(of inflows - of outflows)

Inflows = (p * contribution per unit - annual fixed cost)( 1- tax rate) + depreciation * tax rate

= (p * 125.4 - 403400) ( 1 - 0.21) + depreciation * tax rate

where;

depreciation = initial fixed assest cost/ lifetime of the project

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (962000/6)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (160333.33)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670

Now, the PV of the inflows =PV factor(6 years, 14%) * inflows

$= inflows * \dfrac{( 1-(1.14)^{-6})}{0.14}$

$= inflows * 3.8887$

Replacing the value for inflows, we have:

$=((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887$

The PV of the outflows = Initial Fixed asset cost = $962000

∴

Equating both together using:

PV(of inflows - of outflows) = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 - 962000 = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 = 962000

(99.066p - 318686 + 33670) * 3.8887 = 962000

(99.066p - 285016) * 3.8887 = 962000

385.24p - 1108341.72 = 962000

385.24p= 962000 + 1108341.72

385.24p= 2070341.72

p = 2070341.72 / 385.24

p ≅ 5375

What is a future consequence of making minimum payments each month?

Luden [163]

Answer:

A: a longer period in debt

Explanation:

Minimum payments are generally associated with credit card debts. A credit card allows the user to spend on credit. At the end of every month, the credit card company sends the customer a statement detailing the amount they owe. The statement shows the total outstanding amount and the minimum amount payable.

Paying the total outstanding amount clears the total credit card debt helping the customer avoid interest charges. Paying the minimum amount means the customer will have a balance carried forward to the following month, attracting interest charges.

Paying the minimum amount allows the user to continue using the credit card. There will be a balance carried forward and interest charges if only the minimum amount is paid. Due to the high-interest rates that credit cards charge, the debts increase exponentially. The cardholder will require a long time to clear the debts, which means that the interest charges and penalty amounts will be high.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The items that describes what happens at the equilibrium price are:

Producers supply the exact goods that consumers buy.

Consumers have enough goods, at the given price.

Producers used their resources efficiently.

Equilibrium pricing is when the items demanded match the items supplied. When this happens, the demand and good available equal each other, hence, equilibrium. The pricing is exactly where it should be for consumers to want and purchase the good or service.

Having had no prior knowledge of the market for his product sweater, what approach did Jack McCarthy of Ugly Christmas Sweaters

telo118 [61]

Answer:

When any company wants to sale their product without prior knowledge of the market then it's a disaster.

First thing Jack can do is "Test Marketing". If any company has no knowledge of market then fastest way to know your market is test marketing. Jack must put his sweaters in small quantity for sale at different locations. Test marketing needs to be done for whole week. Jack needs to collect the feedback from its customers too. Feedback is the way jack can know the market. Without knowing the market and customers, it's really hard to market or sale your product. Feedback from test marketing activity will actually give him market knowledge and customer's feedback.
