Answer:
$3,418,800
Explanation:
Contribution margin per hour:
Plush: 4 units per hour x $231 = $924
Supreme: 2 units per hour x $317 = $634
Since contribution margin per hour from Plush is higher than Supreme, we select Plush as the most profitable sales. Hence,
Total contribution = 3,700 hours available x $924 = $3,418,800
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Mark's individual consumer surplus is $10.
Explanation:
Mark and Rasheed are at the bookstore buying new calculators for the semester.
Mark is willing to pay $75 and Rasheed is willing to pay $100 for a graphing calculator.
The price for a calculator at the bookstore is $65.
The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price that a consumer is willing to pay and the price he actually has to pay.
Mark's individual consumer surplus
= Price mark was willing to pay - Price he actually has to pay
= $75 - $65
= $10
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of March 2014 there
are approximately 7,150,000,000 people living in the entire world and 317,700,000
living in the U.S but these numbers change continuously.
Divide the number of people in the U.S. by the number of
people in the world and multiply by 100 to get the answer.
= 317700000 / 7150000000 x 100
= 4.44%
Answer:
1.
Break even in units = 12100 units
Break even in dollar sales = $484000
2.
Total contribution margin at break even point is $145200.
Explanation:
1.
Break even point is a point, calculated in either units or in dollar value, which provides a point where there is no profit or no loss and the total sales revenue is equal to the total cost.
Break even in units and in dollars can be calculated as follows,
- Break even in units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit
- Break even in dollars = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
- Where contribution margin = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit
- Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit / selling price per unit
Break even in units = 145200 / 12 = 12100 units per month
Break even in dollars = 145200 / (12/40) = $484000
2.
Total contribution margin at break even point is $145200 because total contribution margin is the difference between the total sales revenue and total variable cost and at the break even point, the total contribution margin is enough to cover total fixed cost. So, it is equal to the total fixed cost.
