Answer:
1. 120 hot dogs per day
2. $1,920
3. Inelastic
4.200
Explanation:
1. Break even is a term given to a situation where there is no profit or loss made by an organization for product sales.
Formula is;
Fixed cost /contribution per unit, where contribution per unit is selling price - variable price.
Solution.
Since Total fixed cost =$1,200, Selling price=$16, Variable costs=$6
=Fixed costs/(Selling price - Variable costs).
= $1,200/($16 - $6)
=$1,200/$10
=120 hot dogs.
2. Break even point in dollar sales volume. This refers to the number of products that would be produced and sold to cover production cost.
Formular is ;
Fixed cost/contribution per unit× Sales price per unit.
Solution
=Fixed costs/(Selling price - Variable costs)× Selling price.
=$1,200/($16 - $6)×$16
=$1,200/$10×$16
=$1,200×$16/$10
=$19,200/$10
=$1,920
3. The demand would be inelastic. Inelastic demand is when the demand of buyers does not change as much as changes in price.
4. Achieve level of sales target. This is when management wanted to know the sales level at which targeted profit will be achieved.
Formula
Fixed costs + Target profit/Contribution per unit
Solution.
=Fixed costs + Target profit/(Selling Price - Variable costs)
= $1,200 + $800/($16-$6)
=$1,200 + $800/($10)
=$2,000×/$10
=$200
=200 cases would needed to sell
Answer: $122.40
Explanation:
Jack's year to date pay has already exceeded the $7,000 limit on which State and Federal Unemployment taxes can be charged on his pay.
The amount the employer will pay is;
= FICA OASI Tax + FICA Medicare tax

= 99.20 + 23.20
= $122.40
Answer: Sole Proprietership
Explanation:
A Sole proprietership offers the best chance of decision making because decisions are made by one person, the owner.

A general and limited partnership consists of 2 or more owners hence a lot of people are involved in making the decision.
