Frankie's Chocolate Co. reports the following information from its sales budget:

Firestone Tires recently paid an annual dividend of $2.00 on its common stock. This dividend increases at an average rate of 3.8

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Market rate of return = 12.45%

Explanation:

Below is the calculation of market rate of return.

D = Just pad dividend x (1 + growth rate)

D = 2 x (1 + 0.038)

D = 2.076

Now use the below formula to find the market rate of return.

Market rate of return = (D/current selling price) + Growth rate

Market rate of return = (2.076 / 24) + 0.038

Market rate of return = 12.45%

A producer of felt-tip pens has received a forecast of demand of 31,000 pens for the coming month from its marketing department.

atroni [7]

Answer:

a. Break-even quantity: 28,000 pens

b. Price: $1.51 per pen

Explanation:

1. Break-even quantity

a) Revenue, R(x)

The monthly revenue is the product of the price by the number of units sold in the month.

Naming x the number of pens sold in the month:

R(x) = $1 × x = x

b) Cost, C(x)

The monthly cost is the sum of the fixed cost per month plus the variable costs:

C(x) = $21,000 + 0.25 × x = 21,000 + 0.25x

c) Break-even

Break-even is the point when the revenue and the total costs are equal, this is, when the profit is zero. Write the equation and solve:

x = 21,000 + 0.25x

x - 0.25x = 21,000

0.75x = 21,000

x = 21,000 / 0.75

x = 28,000

Hence, the break-even quantity is 28,000 pens.

2. Price pens must be sold to obtain a monthly profit of $18,000

Profit = Revenue - Total cost

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = x.p - [ 0.25x + 21,000]

Where p is the price.

P(x) = x.p - 0.25x - 21,000

Substitute the quantity demanded, x, with 31,000, and the profit, P(x) with 18,000:

18,000 = 31,000p - 0.25(31,000) - 21,000

Solve for p and compute:

31,000p = 18,000 + 7,750 + 21,000

31,000 p = 46,750

p = 1.51

That is $1.51 per pen.
