Answer: Liabilities =$38,000
Explanation: An asset whether tangible or intangible is a source of value to a company examples are Cash, investments, accounts receivables etc
Liabilities are referred to the debts owed to a company or buisness at a particular period eg bank debts, tax owed, wages owed etc.
Equity is the measure of value of a company"s asset eg Common stock, retained earnings, , preferred stock etc.
The three above are related using the equation below
Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
Total Liabilities = Assets - Equity
Total asset = Cash + Account receivables = 26,000+42,000=68,000
Total equity = Common stock + retained earnings = 18,000+12000=30,000
Total liabilities =Total asset -total equity
= 68,000-30,000
= $38,000
A stock has had returns of 12 percent, 19 percent, 21 percent, −12 percent, 26 percent, and −5 percent over the last six years. What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
Geometric average return
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%
In which of the following situations would a delegation of contractual duties be allowed? Multiple Choice A painter hired to paint your home. A sculptor hired to sculpt your bust. An actor hired to perform in a play. A surgeon performing brain surgery.
Answer:
A painter hired to paint your home.
Explanation:
Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.
For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.
Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.
Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.
In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.
A stock has had the following year-end prices and dividends: Year Price Dividend 1 $ 43.37 - 2 48.35 $ .60 3 57.27 .63 4 45.35 .80 5 52.27 .85 6 61.35 .93 What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
geometric mean return = 1.2%
arithmetic mean return = 1.21%
Explanation:
Year Price Dividend Yearly return
1 $43.37 - 0
2 $48.35 $0.60 1.24%
3 $57.27 $0.63 1.1%
4 $45.35 $0.80 1.76%
5 $52.27 $0.85 1.63%
6 $61.35 $0.93 1.52%
geometric mean return = [(1 + 0) x (1 + 0.0124) x (1 + 0.011) x (1 + 0.0176) x (1 + 0.0163) x (1 + 0.0152)]¹/⁶ - 1 = 1.012 - 1 = 0.012 = 1.2%
arithmetic mean return = (0% + 1.24% + 1.1% + 1.76% + 1.63% + 1.52%) / 6 = 7.25% / 6 = 1.21%

An investor purchases a 15-year, $1,000 par value bond that pays semiannual interest of $50. If the semiannual market rate of interest is 6%, what is the current market value of the bond
Answer:
The answer is $862.35
Explanation:
Explanation:
This is a semiannual paying coupon, meaning interest are paid twice in year.
N(Number of periods) = 30periods ( 15 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 6 percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $50
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 30; I/Y = 6; PMT = 50; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -862.35
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $862.35.

Which of the following ratios indicates the percentage of each sales dollar that is available to cover fixed costs and to provide a profit?
A. Margin of safety ratio
B. Costs and expenses ratio
C. Profit ratio
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Margin of safety ratio.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Margin of Safety", in the field of business and accounting, is refered to a ratio whose main purpose is to establish the point in where the company knows that it has to sale obligately due to the fact that at that point the company can be sure that they have covered the fixed costs of it and after that point every sale will became a profit for the company. So that is why that this ratio indicates the percentage of each sales dollar that is available to cover those costs.
Which of the following statements would best characterize someone who is not culturally competent in working with others from different cultures?a. The person varies the rate of their speaking.b. The person uses facial expressions when communicating.c. The person pays attention to verbal and non-verbal behavior.d. The person fills "silence" during conversations.
Answer: The person fills "silence" during conversations
Explanation:
Culture is simply regarded as people's way of life. The way if life include their food, the kind of music they listen to, their religion, language, their beliefs, values etc.
Someone who is not culturally competent in working with others from different cultures would usually be silent during conversations. This is because the person doesn't know much about the culture and can't really be involved in the conversation.
TB MC Qu. 6-70 Awtis Corporation has a margin of ... Awtis Corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25% based on its actual sales. The break-even point is $213,600 and the variable expenses are 45% of sales. Given this information, the actual profit is:
Answer:
$39,160
Explanation:
Awtis corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25%
= 25/100
= 0.25
The break even point is $213,600
The variable expenses is 45%
= 45/100
= 0.45
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio= 1-variable expenses
= 1-0.45
= 0.55
The fixed expenses can be calculated as follows
Fixed expenses= break even sales × contribution margin ratio
= $213,600×0.55
= 117,480
The total actual sales can be calculated as follows
= Break even sales/(1-margin of safety)
= $213,600/(1-0.25)
= $213,600/0.75
= $284,800
Therefore, the actual profit can be calculated as follows
Actual profit= Contribution margin ratio×sales - fixed expenses
= 0.55×284,800-$117,480
= $156,640-$117,480
= $39,160
Hence the actual profit is $39,160
________ means that service quality depends on the quality of buyer-seller interaction during the service encounter.
Answer: interactive marketing
Explanation:

Interactive marketing means service quality depends on the quality of buyer-seller interaction during the service encounter.
Suppose a good has a downward-sloping, straight-line demand curve. If the price elasticity of demand is 2.5 when the price is $10 per unit, then the price elasticity of demand when the price is $7 per unit could be a. approaching infinity. b. 2.7. c. 2.5. d. 1.7.
Answer:
c. 2.5
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
the price elasticity would not change as a result of the change
Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out. To illustrate your recommended procedure, use as an example the ordering policy for white percale sheets.
Demand for white percale sheets is 5,000 per year. The store is open 365 days per year. Every two weeks (14 days) inventory is counted and a new order is placed. It takes 10 days for the sheets to be delivered. Standard deviation of demand for the sheets is five per day. There are currently 150 sheets on hand.
How many sheets should you order?
Answer:
The number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Explanation:
Before we can determine the number sheets to order, we need to first calculate the targeted number of sheet as follows:
TN = DD * (LT + RT) + z + SDD * [tex]\sqrt{LT + RT}[/tex] .......................... (1)
Where;
TN = Targeted number of sheets = ?
DD = Daily demand = 5,000 / 365 = 13.70
LT = Lead time = 10
RT = Review time or stock taking time = 14
SDD = Standard Deviation of Daily Demand = 5
z = 1.64
Note: Since Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out, the z is determined by just typing the function =NORM.S.INV(0.95) in the Microsoft Excel to obtain the 1.64.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
TN = 13.70 * (10 + 14) + 1.64 * 5 * [tex]\sqrt{10+14}[/tex]
TN = 369 approximately
Since there are currently 150 sheets on hand, the number of sheets you should order can be determined as follows:
Number of sheet to order = TS - Number of sheets on hand = 369 - 150 = 219 sheets
Therefore, the number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Answer:
219 sheets
Explanation:
The computation of the number of sheets ordered is computed by applying the following formula
Number of sheets ordered is
= Average daily demand × (Lead time + time taken) + Service probability × standard deviation in lead time - present inventory level
where,
Standard deviation in lead time is
= [tex]\sqrt{10+14(5)}[/tex]
= 24.49
And, the service probability level could be find out by applying the =NORMSINV(0.95) in excel so the value of z is 1.64
And, all other things would remain the same
= 5,000 ÷ 365 days × (10 + 14) + (1.64) (24.49) - 150
= 219 sheets

Explanation:
Coastal Shores Inc. (CSI) was completely destroyed by Hurricane Fred on August 5, 2021. At January 1, CSI reported an inventory of $153,000. Sales from January 1, 2021, to August 5, 2021, totaled $432,000 and purchases totaled $175,500 during that time. CSI consistently marks up its products 60% over cost to arrive at a selling price. The estimated inventory loss due to Hurricane Fred would be:
Answer:
58,500
Explanation:
Given the information above, the formula for Inventory loss is
Inventory loss = Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of sales
Where,
Cost of sales = $432,000 × 100 ÷ 160
=$270,000
Since opening inventory = $153,000
Purchases = $175,500
Therefore,
Inventory loss = $153,000 + $175,500 - $270,000
= $58,500
Based on the following production and sales estimates for May, determine the number of units expected to be manufactured in May. Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000 Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000 Expected sales volume (units): South region 20,000 West region 40,000 North region 20,000 Unit sales price $10 a.85,000 b.105,000 c.75,000 d.80,000
Answer:
Production= 75,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000
Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000
Expected sales volume (units):
South region 20,000
West region 40,000
North region 20,000
To calculate the production for May, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= (20,000 + 40,000 + 20,000) + 25,000 - 30,000
Production= 75,000 units
The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Answer:
d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Explanation:
In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type
Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows
1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system
2. The name would become shorter
3. Readable program
but it does not increase the efficiency
Hence, the last option is correct
Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $3,040. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $610. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $420 per year over the four-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $1,460 per year for four years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3, to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the machine. (Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the machine user, as opposed to the machine owner.) If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
Answer:
Sloan Corporation
Differential Analysis:
Cost of Alternative 1 (Lease) - $1,460.00
Cost of Alternative 2 (Buy) = $1,332.50
Choose Alternative 2, purchase the equipment, and there will be a cost saving of $127.50 per year.
Explanation:
Buy Decision:
Cost of purchase = $3,040
Freight-in 610
Total cost $3,650
Annual equipment cost = $912.50
Annual Repair cost = 420.00
Total annual cost to buy = $1,332.50
Cost of Lease per year = $1,460
Sloan Corporation's differential analysis of the lease or buy decision shows that it would be more profitable to purchase the equipment than to lease. With a purchase decision, the cost savings will be $127.50 per year. By undertaking this differential analysis, Sloan Corporation is able to determine the alternative that will serve its best interest, especially in terms of cost.

Ignatius Corporation had 7 million shares of common stock outstanding during the current calendar year. It issued ten thousand $1,000, convertible bonds on January 1. Each bond is convertible into 50 shares of common stock. The bonds were issued at face amount and pay interest semiannually at an annual rate of 10%. On June 30, Ignatius issued 100,000 shares of $100 par 6% cumulative preferred stock. Dividends are declared and paid quarterly. Ignatius has an effective tax rate of 25%. Ignatius would report the following EPS data (rounded) on its net income of $20 million: Basic EPS Diluted EPS a. $ 2.77 $ 2.67 b. $ 2.81 $ 2.73 c. $ 2.85 $ 2.67 d. $ 2.81 $ 2.68
Answer:
Ignatius Corporation
Basic and Diluted EPS are:
c. $ 2.85 $ 2.67
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Common stock outstanding = 7 million shares
Issued 10,000, $1,000 convertible bonds = $10,000,000
Convertible bonds = 10,000 bonds = 500,000 shares (10,000 x 50)
Interest payment = semiannual at 10% per annum
6%, 100,000 Cumulative preferred stock at $100 par = $10,000,000
Preferred dividend = $600,000
Net Income of $20 million
Basic EPS = $20,000,000/7,000,000 = $2.857 per share
Diluted EPS = $20,000,000/7,500,000 = $2.67 per share
To obtain the diluted EPS, the outstanding common stock is increased by the number of potential convertible bonds.
According to the FTC's historical guidelines for mergers, would the FTC approve a merger between two firms that would result in an HHI of 1,025 after the merger?A: Maybe. The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decision.B: Yes, the FTC would ignore the merger and allow it to go through.C: No, the FTC would probably challenge the merger.2. Instead of defining a market and counting up total sales, what are antitrust regulators looking at today when determining whether to allow a merger or not?A: HHIB: industry competitionC: four-firm concentration ratioD: innovation3. Price cap regulations are a market regulatory device governments utilize, where the top price a firm can charge is locked in for a defined period of time. All of the following statements are true, except:_________.A: The government sets a price by looking at the firm's average costs and then adding a normal rate of profit.B: The firm can make high profits by producing a higher quantity than expected.C: The firm can make high profits by producing at lower costs.D: The government sets a price level for a few years.
Answer and Explanation:
1. A: Maybe. The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decision
the ftc would historically make a case-by-case decision for HHI( Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ) between 1000 and 1800 but nowadays antitrust enforcement agencies dontvdeoend much on ratios such as HHI in measuring competition but would rather perform in depth analysis of each industry under study
2.industry competition
Antitrust regulators look out for the level of competition in an industry in allowing mergers and rely more on case-by-case analysis in making it's evaluations
3.True
price cap regulations are used by government to control prices based on inflation levels or price cap index .price cap regulations set a cap on the price that can be charged by businesses for a product. They are set for a defined period of time.
4.A: The government sets a price by looking at the firm's average costs and then adding a normal rate of profit.
Government doesn't consider costs and normal rate of profit to the firm in setting price ceiling or floor for products
George Hansen is General Manager for the Marigold Inn in Augusta, Georgia. Sharon Coombs is Restaurant and Food Services manager for the Inn. She reports to George. Two years ago, Sharon noticed a decline in room service business, the highest margin potion of her operation. This decline coincided with an increase in the national sales of pizza delivery and carryout firms as well as an increase in the number of empty pizza boxes from these firms being left in guest rooms in the Inn. Her immediate response was to install a pizza oven in the kitchen and offer room service pizza to guests. The effort met with modest success, though it was well below her expectations. Questionnaires completed by departing guests revealed a problem of product quality.
Focusing on this problem, Sharon improved the Inn’s pizza until blind tests judged it at least equal in quality to the products of the two major pizza delivery competitors in Augusta. Sales did not improve, convincing Sharon that the problem was a perceived mismatch between the hotel’s image and guests’ expectations of pizza makers. Guests simply did not seem to believe that the traditional steak and seafood restaurant at the Inn could make a high-quality, authentic pizza.
Based on this conclusion, Sharon presented the following proposal to George:
"Sales of room service pizza are stagnant due to guests’ misperception that our product is lower in quality than that of competitors. This misperception is based on the belief that until we disassociate our pizza from the Marigold Inn name. Therefore, to capture more room service pizza business, we should create a ‘Napoli Pizza’ image for our guest room delivery service by:
Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered, ‘Napoli Pizza, authentic Italian pizza from old, family recipes.’
Using special ‘Napoli Pizza’ boxes for delivering room service pizza to guests.
Issuing ‘Napoli Pizza’ hats and jackets to room service personnel for use in pizza delivery. Room service waiters and waitresses will wear these garments to deliver pizza. They will change to their regular uniforms for other deliveries.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered,
Explanation:
This is the best logical suggestion to George because, the guests already had the impression that, the inn cannot be able to produce a very high quality and tasty pizza. Preparing "Napoli Pizza" with different information from the Inn is best alternative. the guest would believe that, the pizza is coming from another quality pizza making company.
he beginning share price for a security over a three-year period was $50. Subsequent year-end prices were $62, $58 and $64. The arithmetic average annual rate of return and the geometric average annual rate of return for this stock were:
Answer:
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = 8.58%
Explanation:
share price at the beginning = $50
time = 3 year
price at the end of year 1 = $62
price at the end of year 2 = $58
price at the end of year 3 = $64
Annual rate of return in year 1 = ($62 / $50 - 1) x 100 = 24%
Annual rate of return in year 2 = ($58 / $62 - 1) x 100 = -6.45%
Annual rate of return in year 3 = \($64 / $58 - 1) x 100 = 10.34%
Arithmetic average rate of return = sum of annual rate of return / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = (24% + -6.45% + 10.34%) / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = { (1 + r1) x (1 + r2) x (1 + r3) }^1/3 - 1
= (1.24) x (0.9355) x (1.1034)^1/3 - 1 = 8.58%

Almost all countries are involved in trading of goods and services with another country, a current account helps to evaluate the manner in which a particular country traded their different goods with foreign markets.There tends to be a postive balance of a country exports more goods than it imports.
Explanation:
Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,600 helmets, using 2,664 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $20,246. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.65 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $8.00 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,600 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,600 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1. The Standard quantity of kilogram for making 3,600 helmets is
= Number of helmets × number of kilograms required
= 3,600 × 0.65
= 2,340
2. The standard material cost is
= Standard quantity × standard price
= 2,340 × $8

3. Material spending variance is
= Plastic cost - standard material cost
= $20,246 - $18,720
= $1,526 unfavorable
4. The material price and quantity varaince is
Price variance
= Plastic cost - (number of plastic × cost)
= $20,246 - (2,664 × $8)
= $1,066 favorable
Quantity variance
= Standard Cost × (Actual quantity - standard quantity)
= $8 × (2,664 - 2,340)
= $2,592 unfavorable

Answer:
Indication of whether each of the following statements is true or false:
a. A company has the following assets at the end of the year: cash on hand $40,000, cash refund due from customer $30,000, and checking account balance $22,000. Cash and cash equivalents is therefore $62,000.
True
b. A company that has received NSF checks should report these checks as a current liability on the balance sheet.
False
c. Restricted cash that is a current asset is reported as part of cash and cash equivalents.
False
d. A company has cash in the bank of $50,000, petty cash of $400, and stock investments of $100,000. Total cash and cash equivalents is therefore $50,400.
True
Explanation:
a. Cash and cash equivalents do not include refund due from customers.
b. NSF checks mean that the checks were returned by the bank to the company marked "Not Sufficient Funds." These checks are to be returned to the customers. The customers' accounts will be debited to reverse the earlier recorded payment offsetting their accounts. They are, therefore, not to be recorded as liabilities.
c. Since restricted cash is not available for general and immediate use by the company, it is not part of the cash and cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalents deal with cash and near cash items that can easily be converted into cash and used in settlement of financial obligations.
d. This is while only marketable securities (bonds, shares, etc) are included in cash and cash equivalents, because most of them have a duration of less than 3 months. Stock investments, without any qualification, do not qualify to be classified as cash and cash equivalents, unless they are held as marketable securities.
General Electric (GE) has earnings per share of $2.98 and dividends per share of $0.35. Its return on assets (ROA) is 14.6% and its return on equity (ROE) is 18.2%. What is its sustainable rate of growth?
Answer:
g = 0.1606 or 16.06%
Explanation:
The sustainable growth rate is the growth rate in earning or dividends of a stock that will remain constant in the long run. Such a rate is calculate for an indefinite period of time. The formula to calculate the sustainable growth rate is,
g = RR * ROE
Where,
RR is the retention ratio or (1 - dividend payout ratio)ROE is the return on equityThe dividend per share as a percentage of earnings per share will give us the dividend payout ratio.
Dividend payout ratio = 0.35 / 2.98 = 0.1174 or 11.74%
g = (1 - 11.74%) * 18.2%
g = 0.1606 or 16.06%
During 2018, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $126,000. By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $93,000. Pave estimates that 20% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts. Required: a. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2018.b. Calculate the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
Answer: Please see answer in the explanation column
Explanation:
Account receivables = Total account - cash collections
$126,000 -- $93,000
= $33,000
Uncollectible Accounts = 20% x 33,000 = $6,600
a) Journal to record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts
Date Account Debit Credit
Dec 31, 2018 Bad debts expense $6,600
Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,600
B) net realizable value of accounts receivable= Total Accounts Receivable - Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $33,000 - $6,600= $26400
What is the relationship between total surplus and economic efficiency?
Answer: When total surplus gets maximized, then economy meet economic efficiency.
Explanation:
Economic efficiency is described as a thinking that there is one possible way to make situation better by imposing a cost on another.
Total surplus is described as the sum of producer and consumer surplus.
It gets maximized in a perfect competition (hit free-market equilibrium).
i.e. It gets maximized when both consumer and producer surplus is maximum, and then the economy meet economic efficiency.
You are in the business of making kombucha tea. Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1. Your fixed costs are $100,000/year and you expect to sell 300,000 bottles in your first year. How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1.
Your fixed costs are $100,000/year.
How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (200,000) / (3 - 1)
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
The number of bottles that must be sold at $3 per bottle to earn a target profit of $100,000 is 200,000 bottles.
Data and Calculations:
Variable cost per bottle = $1
Fixed cost per year = $100,000
Expected sales units in the first year = 300,000 bottles
Selling price per bottle = $3
Target profit = $300,000
Contribution margin per unit = $2 ($3 - $1)
Contribution margin ratio = 67% ($2/$3 x 100)
Sales units to achieve target profit = (Fixed Costs + Profit)/$2
= ($100,000 + $300,000)/$2
= 200,000 bottles
