Answer:

Break-even point= 1,200 DVDs

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the sales proportion:

DVD= 4/5= 0.8

Home entertainment= 1/5= 0.2

Now, we need to calculate the break-even point for the whole company:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (200*0.8 + 600*0.2) - (160*0.8 + 460*0.2)

Weighted average contribution margin= 60

Break-even point (units)= 90,000/60= 1,500

Finally, the number of DVDs:

DVD= 1,500*0.8= 1,200 DVDs

DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even point :

Formula :

Therefore, the number of DVDs:

                                            Working Notes  :

DVD= 4/5= 0.8

Home entertainment= 1/5= 0.2

DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even is 1200DVDs.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bigelow Inc. sells a product for $800 per unit. The variable cost is $600 per unit, while fixed costs are $1,200,000.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 1,200,000 / (800 - 600)

Break-even point in units= 6,000 units

Now, the selling price= 850

Break-even point in units= 1,200,000 / 250

Break-even point in units= 4,800 units

Answer:

The company's cost of capital will be "13%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Risk free rate

= 5

Beta

= 1.25

Market risk premium

= 8

Now,

⇒  [tex]cost \ of \ common \ stock=Risk \ free \ rate+Beta\times Market \ risk \ premium[/tex]

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒                                    [tex]=5+(1.25\times 8)[/tex]

⇒                                    [tex]=15 \ percent[/tex]

The total value will be:

=  [tex]20 +5[/tex]

=  $[tex]25 \ million[/tex]

As we know,

⇒  [tex]WACC=Respective \ costs\times Respective \ weights[/tex]

⇒              [tex]=(\frac{20}{25}\times15)+(\frac{5}{25}\times 5)[/tex]

⇒              [tex]=12+1[/tex]

⇒              [tex]=13 \ percent[/tex]

Answer:

The enterprise value of Correct Inc is $4,650 M

Explanation:

In this question, we are interested in calculating the enterprise value of Correct Inc

To do this, we use the mathematical formula below;

Enterprise Value = market value capital and debts - cash and investments

Enterprise Value = 100m shares * $37.50 per share + $1000m debts - $100m

= $3750 m + $1000 m - $100 m

= $4650 m

Answer:

a) How many tires should Rocky Mountain order each time it places an order?

b) What is the total cost of this policy?

Explanation:

we must find the EOQ for the three possible prices:

when price per tire is $17:

EOQ = √(2SD) / H

S = cost per order = $40

D = annual demand = 20,000

H = 20% x $17 = $3.40

EOQ = √[(2 x $40 x 20,000) / $3.40] = 685.99 = 686 tires

when price per tire is $18:

EOQ = √(2SD) / H

S = cost per order = $40

D = annual demand = 20,000

H = 20% x $18 = $3.60

EOQ = √[(2 x $40 x 20,000) / $3.60] = 666.67 = 667 tires

when price per tire is $20:

EOQ = √(2SD) / H

S = cost per order = $40

D = annual demand = 20,000

H = 20% x $20 = $4

EOQ = √[(2 x $40 x 20,000) / $4] = 632.46 = 632 tires

since all options are over 500 units but lower than 1,000, we must take the option where each tire costs $18

total cost:

20,000 x $18 = $360,000

(20,000 / 667) x $40 = $1,199.40

holding costs = average inventory = 667 / 2 = 333.5 x $3.60 = $1,200.60

total costs (including merchandise purchased) = $362,400

Explanation:

Depreciation is the reduction in the fair value of an asset over time.

cost of van = $16,000

residual value = $2,000

useful life = 5 years

depreciation using straight-line allocation is allocating the depreciation cost equally over the useful life of the asset.

[tex]Annual\ depreciation\ expenses\ = \frac{(cost\ of\ asset\ -\ salvage\ value}{useful\ life\ of\ asset} \\\\\\Annual\ depreciation\ expenses\ = \frac{16,000 - 2,000}{5} \\= \frac{14,000}{5} \\Annual\ depreciation\ expenses\ = \$2,800[/tex]

Answer:

none of the above​

Explanation:

depreciation expense per year using straight line method = (purchase cost - residual value) / useful life = ($16,000 - $2,000) / 5 years = $14,000 / 5 = $2,800 per year

The straight line method for calculating depreciation expense is the simplest method that we can use, since the depreciation expense is the same for every year. Unlike double balance, sum of digits or any other kind of deprecation expense method which varies from year to year.

Answer:

D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as some figures are omitted. The full question is therefore presented first before answering the question as follows:

The reserve requirement is​ 10%.

Suppose that the Fed sells ​$150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond​ dealer, electronically debiting the​ dealer's deposit account at Reliable Bank.

Which of the following correctly describes the immediate effect of this transaction on the money​ supply?

A. The money supply decreases by ​$1,500,000

B. The money supply decreases by ​$135,000.

C. There is no change in the money supply.

D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

E. None of the above.

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

This is an example of Open market operations (OMO).

Open market operations (OMO) is a monetary policy strategy in which the central bank such as the Federal Reserve sells or purchases government securities in order to implement a particular monetary policy.

When the central bank sells government securities on the open market, it aims to reduce the money supply by the worth of the securities. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.

On the other hand, when the central bank purchases government securities on the open market, it aims to increase the money supply by the worh of the government securities. This is called an expansionary monetary policy.

From the question, the sale of ​$150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond​ dealer is a contractionary monetary policy and it will reduce the money supply by exactly $150,000.

Therefore, the correct option is D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

Answer:

keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.

A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run
