Production would be _____ if there is a low supply for a product.

Young Company budgets sales of $112,900,000, fixed costs of $25,000,000, and variable costs of $66,611,000. What is the contribu

quester [9]

Answer:

a. The contribution margin ratio will be 41%

b. The income from operations will be $12,420,000.

Explanation:

a. The sales are given at $112,900,000.

The fixed costs are $25,000,000.

The variable costs are $66,611,000.

The contribution margin will be

=Sales-variable costs

=$(112,900,000-66,611,000)

=$46,289,000

The contribution margin ratio will be

=(Contribution margin/sales)*100

=($46,289,000/ $112,900,000)*100

=41%

b. Now, if the contribution margin ratio is 40%.

The sales are given at $34,800,000.

The fixed costs are $1,500,000.

Income from operations or operating profit will be

=(sales*contribution margin ratio)-fixed cost

=$(34,800,000*0.4)-$1,500,000

=$12,420,000

A firm has estimated the following demand function for its product:

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

(i) Q=300

(ii) Elasticity of Demand=-3.33 (elastic)

(iii) Income Elasticity= 2.5 (normal good)

(iv) Advertising Elasticity: 1.5

Explanation:

The Demand function is given by

$Q=100-5P+5I+15A$

(1) To solve (i) we need to replace P = 200, I = 150, and A = 30 in the demand equation:

$Q=100-5(200)+5(150)+15(30)=300$

(2) To find the price elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with price) we use the point price elasticity formula

$\eta_{Price}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P}\frac{P}{Q}$

From the above equation we get: $\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P}=-5$

Replacing in the elasticity formula

$\eta_{Price}=-5\frac{200}{300}=|-3.33|>1$

in absolute terms the elasticity is bigger than one so it is an elastic demand.

(3) For income elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with income), we proceed similarly as above. But the derivative is respect to income

$\eta_{Income}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta I}\frac{I}{Q}=5\frac{150}{300}=2.5>1$ [/tex]

Which is bigger than one, denoting this is a normal good because it's bigger than one.

(4) Advertising elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with expenditures in advertising), we proceed as before

$\eta_{advertising}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta A}\frac{A}{Q}=15\frac{30}{300}=1.5$

Use the following information to determine the break-even point in units (rounded to the nearest whole unit): Unit sales 58,000

Tema [17]

Answer:

29,394 units

Explanation:

The formula for break even point is given as Fixed cost / Contribution margin.

Where;

Contribution margin = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit

Given that ;

Fixed cost = $194,000

Unit selling price = $14.90

Unit variable cost = $8.30

Therefore;

BEP(units) = $194,000 / $14.90 - $8.30

= $194,000 / $6.6

= 29,394 units

Consider a single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 19%. Portfolio B has a beta of 1.0 and an

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Invest 50% in portfolio A and the rest 50% in risk-free asset to create Portfolio D, we will have the same systematic risk as that of Portfolio B.

The expected return of Portfolio D = 11%

Portfolio D and Portfolio B have the same beta of 1.0. But, portfolio D has a higher return of 11% as compared to the expected return of Portfolio B of 8%.

Buy Portfolio D, and sell Portfolio B.

Explanation:

A risk free asset is referred to an asset that provides a virtually guaranteed return and no possibility of loss.

Risk-free asset has a beta of 0.

Portfolio D Beta = Wa × Portfolio A Beta + Wb × Risk-free asset beta

1.0 = Wa * 2.0 + Wb * 0

Wa = 1.0/2.0

Wa = 0.50

If we invest 50% in portfolio A and the rest 50% in risk-free asset to create Portfolio D, we will have the same systematic risk as that of Portfolio B.

The expected return of Portfolio D = 0.50 × 0.19 + 0.50 ×0.03

The expected return of Portfolio D = 0.11

The expected return of Portfolio D = 11%

Portfolio D and Portfolio B have the same beta of 1.0. But, portfolio D has a higher return of 11% as compared to the expected return of Portfolio B of 8%.

Buy Portfolio D, and sell Portfolio B.
