15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Variable expenses                     378,000         14

Total variable costs              $3,240,000    $120

Contribution =                       $1,080,000      $40

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000

Determinants of market interest rates
ollegr [7]

Answer:

1. Real risk-free rate.

2. Nominal risk free-rate.

3. Inflation premium.

4. Liquidity risk premium.

5. Liquidity risk premium.

6. Maturity risk premium.

Explanation:

Market interest rates can be defined as the amount of interests (money) paid by an individual on deposits and other financial securities or investments. The factors that typically affect the market interest rate known as the determinant of market interest rates are;

1. This is the rate on short-term U.S. Treasury securities, assuming there is no inflation: Real risk-free rate r*

2. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*: Nominal risk free rate.

3. This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time: Inflation premium.

4. This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full: Liquidity risk premium.

5. This premium is added when a security lacks marketability, because it cannot be bought and sold quickly without losing value: Liquidity risk premium.

6. This is the premium that reflects the risk associated with changes in interest rates for a long-term security: Maturity risk premium.
