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: -30%
Explanation:
The Nominal gain is:
= 100,000 - 20,000
= 80,000 foci
Tax on nominal gain:
= 20% * 80,000
= 16,000 foci
After tax nominal value of land:
= 100,000 - 16,000
= 84,000 foci
The real value given the price index is:
= 84,000 / 600 * 100
= 14,000 foci
After tax real rate of cap. gain:
= (14,000 - 20,000) / 20,000
= -30%
Answer:
b. increasing in volume and scope
Explanation:
Outsourcing refers to assigning routine day to day tasks of less significance to an outside firm at a contractual price, with dual motive of saving time and focusing upon more important tasks and also to avail specialized services of an outside firm to ensure efficiency.
For example, a company may outsource it's human resource management function to third party consultants rather than conducting recruitment on it's own.
With the growth in businesses and with increased competition, the need to focus upon strategic tasks has increased which calls for growth in outsourcing function owing to which outsourcing of services has increased both in volume and scope.
