his office, Joe will use a two-story building that he bought 7 years ago for $250,000.

Maintenance and insurance $30,240 per year
Revenue $96,000 per year

Answer:

b. −1,002.5

Explanation:

economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

  • accounting profit = revenue - maintenance and insurance = $96,000 - $30,240 = $65,760
  • opportunity costs = the lost salary as a computer programmer + money he could earn by selling the land lot and investing = $48,000 + ($395,000 x 4.75%) = $66,762.50

economic annual profit = $65,760 - $66,762.50 = -$1,002.50

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

a. Break-even point = Fixed Cost divided by Contribution per unit

= $1,500,000/$19.95

= 75,188 subscribers

b. New break-even point = $1,500,000/$24.95

= 60,120 subscribers

c. Subscriber base = 73,000

less dropped subscribers 10,000

adjusted subscribers = 63,000

The company will still be profitable because it will break-even with 60,120 subscribers.  The excess 2,880 (63,000 - 60,120) subscribers after the break-even point of 60,120 will cause the company to make  some profit.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed cost = $1,500,000 per month

Variable cost $20 per month per subscriber

Charges to customers per month $39.95

Contribution = $39.95 - $20 = $19.95

New variable cost = $25

New monthly charge = $49.95

Contribution per unit = $49.95 - $25 = $24.95
