Answer:

It will price $45 per room

Explanation:

We need to start from the formula for target profit in units:

\frac{Fixed\:Cost+target \: profit}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: to\: Profit_{units}

<u>fixed cost:</u>

fixed costs $375,000

+ target income which is:

25% of 900,000 = 225,000

total 600,000

units (room nights) 15,000

<u />

<u>Then, we solve for contribution margin</u> to achieve this at 15,000 room per year:

\frac{600,000}{Contribution \:Margin} = 15,000

contribution margin = 40

contribution margin is the difference in the sale price and the variable cost

sales price - variable cost = contribution margin

sales price = 40 + 5 = 45

Answer:

The per-share value of Marston’s preferred stock should be $92

frozen [14]

Question Completion:

Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low

Answer:

Akram's Farm

Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:

1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit.  The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers.  But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.

2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the  Accounts Receivable.  Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts.  The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.

Explanation:

Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company.  The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.
