Answer:
(a)
Mathematical Equation for break-even
F = QP - QV
Where
F = fixed cost
Q = Break-even quantity
P = Selling price
V = Variable cost
F = Q ( P - V )
Q = F / ( P - V )
Q = $327,030 / ( $630 - $300 )
Q = $327,030 / $330
Q = 991 units
(b)
Contribution Margin = Price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution Margin = $630 - $300 = $330
Break-even Point in Units = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin per unit
Break-even Point in Units = $327,030 / $330 = 991 units
Explanation:
Mathematical equation use the the break-even equation which represent the behavior of each element towards the break-even point.
Contribution per unit method use the contribution of each unit to calculate the break-even point.
Answer:
a. Decrease
b. Decline
c. Exit
d. No change
Explanation:
The market for gourmet chocolate is in the long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has caused the consumer disposable income to fall. Chocolate is a normal good, and the chocolate producers have identical cost structures.
a. This decline in the consumer income will reduce the purchasing power of the consumers. As a result, the demand will decrease. The demand curve will move to the left.
b. This leftward shift in the demand curve will cause the price to decline, As the price falls, the profits earned by the producers will decline as well.
c. In the long run, the firms operate at zero economic profits. So a decline in profits imply that the firms are operating at an economic loss. This will cause the loss incurring firms to exit the market.
d. The long run supply curve will remain the same. It is not affected by change in profits, it changes only with change in the state of technology or availability of resources.
Answer:
Applegate cannot use the janitor's statement in the trial since the janitor was not directly involved in the work that was being discussed in the meeting. At most, Applegate can try to use some of the information to investigate further about the issue by its own.
Explanation:
The janitor could be considered a hearsay witness, but courts usually limit their testimonies depending on whether its content is admissible or not. The court and Magnifium's lawyers would examine the perception of the witness, his recollection of the events, how he communicated those events to the other party involved in the case, and most importantly the truthfulness of the witness testimony.
The janitor doesn't have a solid position in any of the possible challenges, e.g. he might be mad for being fired and is making up the story, he misinterpreted what he heard because he didn't know what they were talking about, Applegate reached the witness and offered him money to testify, his testimony may have some gray areas or may not be complete. There are simply too many possible objections that can eliminate his testimony and leave Applegate in a worse position.
Answer:
$7,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Beginning balance = $2,000
Office Supplies expenses = $8,000
Ending balance = $1,000
Now,
Let the amount of office supplies purchased be 'x'
Therefore,
Ending balance = Beginning balance + Purchases - Office Supplies expenses
or
$1,000 = $2,000 + x - $8,000
or
$1,000 = - $6,000 + x
or
x = $7,000
<span>Each of these categories adds to the overall unemployment total. In this case, we would add all four values to find the total number of unemployed persons. (10+12+13+12) gives a total of 47 unemployed persons in the pool. Re-entrants and new entrants might sound like they are not unemployed, but these terms, per BLS definitions, are not yet employed so they do not leave the "unemployed" ranks.</span>
