The manager of Calypso, Inc. is considering raising its current price of $30 per unit by 10%. If she does so, she estimates that

demand will decrease by 20,000 units per month. Calypso currently sells 50,000 units per month, each of which costs $25 in variable costs. Fixed costs are $180,000. Assume the manager does not know how much demand will drop if the price increases. By how much would demand have to drop before the manager would not want to implement the price increase?

Answer:

Demand would have to drop by 27,500 units and above

Explanation:

<em>With a proposed increase in price of 10%, Calypso would like break-even, that to ensure that its total revenue covers its total fixed costs. . This would mean the minimum quantity should be that which will produce a total contribution that  covers the total fixed cost. And would produce a profit of zero.</em>

<em>New selling price after  10% Increase  = 110% × $30 =</em><em> $33</em>

Minimum quantity = Total fixed / contribution per unit

<em>Contribution per unit = selling price - variable cost per unit</em>

                                 = $33 - $25

                                  = $8 per unit

<em>Minimum quantity = Total fixed cost/contribution per unit</em>

                              = 180,000/ 8

                            =  22,500 units

<em>The decrease in demand = Current quantity - minimum quantity</em>

                                = 50,000 - 22,500

                                =  27,500 units

Demand would have to drop by 27,500 units and above

Suppose the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can$1.12 and the six-month forward rate is Can$1.14.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

a)

1$ = Can $1.12

It takes a value of 1 U.S dollar to have 1.12 Canadian dollars.  This signifies that the U.S dollar is worth more than Canadian dollars.

b)

Assuming that the absolute Purchasing Power Parity PPP holds,

Since 1$ = Can $1.12, the cost  in the United States of an Elkhead beer, if the price in Canada is Can$2.85 can be determined to be:

= \dfrac{2.85}{1.12}

= $2.545

c)

Yes, the U.S. dollar is selling at a premium relative to the Canadian dollar.

This is because we are being told that the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can $1.12 & in six (6) months time the forward rate will be Can $1.14.

d)

The U.S dollar is expected to appreciate in value because it is trading at a premium in the forward market.

e)

Canada has higher interest rates. This determined by using the formula:

= \dfrac{(\dfrac{Fwd}{Spot }-1)}{n}

where; n= numbers of years = 6 month/12 month = 0.5 year

Then;

=\dfrac{(\dfrac{1.14}{1.12 }-1)}{0.5}

= \dfrac{(1.0178-1)}{0.5}

= \dfrac{(0.0178)}{0.5}

= 0.0356

= 3.56%
