Answer:

Explanation:

Sales in units =

(Total fixed cost+Required profit)/(Weighted average Contribution Margin) = (750,000+250,000)/25 = 1,000,000/25 = 40,000

In order to earn profit of $250,000 Friar needs to sell 40,000 units

*Weighted average Contribution Margin = [(100-60)*1/4] + [(70-50)*3/4] = 10+15 = 25

Answer:

40,000 units

Explanation:

We can proceed as follows:

CMA = Contribution margin of A = $100 - $60 = $40

CMB = Contribution margin of B = $70 - $50 = $20

Unit of A sold with B = 1

Unit of B sold with A = 3

Unit of A and B sold together at a time = 1 + 3 = 4

WA = Weight of A in the sales combination = 1/4  

WB = Weight of B in the sales combination= 3/4

Weighted average unit contribution margin = (CMA × WA] + (CMB × WB)

                                                                        = ($40 × 1/4) + (20 × 3/4)

                                                                        = $10 + $15

Weighted average unit contribution margin = $25

Target units = (Fixed cost + Targeted profit) ÷ Weighted average unit contribution margin

                    = ($750,000 + $250,000) ÷ $25

                    = $1,000,000 ÷ 25

Target units = 40,000 units.

Therefore, Friar would have to sell 40,000 units to earn a profit of $250,000.

Note:

Note that the 40,000 units are for products A and B and it can be divided for them based on their weights as follows:

Units of Product A = 40,000 × 1/4 = 10,000 units

Units of Product B = 40,000 × 3/4 = 30,000 units.

Corny and Sweet grows and sells sweet corn at its roadside produce stand. The selling price per dozen is​ $4.00, variable costs
monitta

Answer: the breakeven sales is $2,400.

Explanation:

Let the number of dozens of sweet sold = P

Other variables given include:

Total Fixed cost =$1, 200

Variable cost given =$2.00 of P

=$2P

Revenue(amount from sales) =

=$4. 00 of P

=$4P

Nt: Cost = fixed cost + variable cost

C = 1200 + 2P

Nt: breakeven occurs when Revenue equals Cost; R=C

Thus: 4P = 1200+2P

4P-2P=1200

2P = 1200. (divide sides by 2)

P= 600

To check for the break even sales =

4P = 1200 + 2P

Since P = 600

Thus: 4P = 4 × 600 = $2400

&

1200 + 2P = $1200 + $2(600)

= (1200+1200)$

= $2400

Thus, the break even price is $2,400.

Identify a difference between the crisis stage and the dissolution stage of organizational decline. Select one: a. In the crisis
pentagon [3]

Answer: c. Decline is reversible at the crisis stage, whereas it is irreversible at the dissolution stage.

Explanation: Crisis Stage; at this stage decline is still reversible if the

organisation reorganizes it ways of operations or conducting business. What they can do at this point is to carryout cutbacks and layoffs which would help reduce it's financial burden and create additional capital to run the business. At the dissolution stage nothing can be done anymore to salvage the company as it would have run into bankruptcy and would need to fold up.

Huxley Building Supplies' last free cash flow was $1.75 million. Its free cash flow growth rate is expected to be constant at 25
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Ans. The best estimate of the current intrinsic stock price is $36.51

Explanation:

Hi, first, we have to determine the cash flows for year 1 and 2 (when the stock grows at 25%) and then, the terminal value (using the constant growth rate of 6%). Then we have to bring to present value all the cash flows (terminal value included) and since the terminal value is an amount of money expressed in dollars of year 2, we have to bring it to present value, discounted at the WACC.

Normally, we need to use the rate of return of the equity but in this case this is not possible due to the lack of information. What we can do is to find the value of the company´s equity, which means that If we bring to present value tha cash flows of year 1 and 2 and the terminal value (using thte WACC as a discount rate) and add the short term invesments and substract the debt of the company, we can find the equity´s value and divide it by the outstanding shares, therefore obtaining a good aproximation to the intrinsic value of the stock. It all goes like this.

Note. Notice that 1.75 millions were the last cash flow so we need to find the cash flow for year 1 (CF1)

(PV)CF1=\frac{1.75(1+0.25)}{(1+0.12)^{1} } =1.9531

(PV)CF2=\frac{1.75(1+0.25)^{2} }{(1+0.12)^{2} } =1.9463

(P.V)Terminal Value=\frac{1.75(1+0.25)^{2}(1+0.06) }{(0.12-0.06)} *(\frac{1}{(1+0.12)^{2} } )=38.51

Where (PV) means present value.

Now, let´s do the following operation

EquityValue=(PV)allCashFlows+ShortTermInvest-Debt

EquityValue=(1.9531+1.9463+38.51)+5-7=36.51

Then, the equity´s value is $36.51 millions.

Now, the intrinsic value of the stock is the value of its equity divided by the number of outstanding shares.

Intrinsic ValueStock=\frac{36.51}{1} =36.51

So, the intrinsic value of Huxley Building Supplies' is $36.51

Best of luck.

Describe two disadvantages of early forms of money, and explain how they could have been fixed.
Gwar [14]

Every country had different types of coins with different values and they were not easily comparable in value with the money from the other countries.  This could have been fixed with collaboration between neighboring countries from certain areas to create same types of coins that have the same value so that they can use them easily for the trade that was occurring between the different economies.

Every craftsmen that had the skills and tools and suitable material was able to create copies of the money. This could have been fixed with strict regulations on every craftsmen by the authorities. Also putting a unique mark on the different types of coins by the official producers that was not easy to be copied.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Common-ground persuasion technique

Explanation:

A common-ground persuasion technique is a technique aimed at improving interpersonal relationships. Like the word, common ground means establishing agreement on certain ideas or points in other to ensure that relationships between individuals are stable and problem free.

In the case of Rebecca, she has used the common-ground persuasion technique to ensure that her boss accepts her suggestion that one of the office assistants take on the responsibility of completing the sales report. By carefully outlining more disadvantages of her taking up the responsibility, her boss will most likely agree to her suggestion.

Cheers.
