Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Break even Sales is computed as:

Contribution margin ratio = Fixed Cost / Break even Sales

where

Contribution margin ratio = 1 - Variable expense of 80%

= 20%

Fixed Cost is $840

30% = $840 / Break even Sales

Break even Sales = $840 / 20%

= $4,200

The actual sales is computed as:

Actual Sales = (Fixed Cost + Desired Profit) /  Contribution margin ratio

= ($840 + $6,600) / 20%

= $7,440 / 0.2

= $37,200

The margin of safety is computed as:

Margin of Safety = Actual Sales - Break even sales

= $37,200 - $4,200

= $33,000

CCC Corp has a beta of 1.5 and is currently in equilibrium. The required rate of return on the stock is 12.00% versus a required
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

CCC's new required rate of return is 16.5%

Explanation:

in the first we need to determine the risk free rate using the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula of Miller and Modgiliani as shown below

required return=Rf+beta*(average market return-Rf)

Rf is the risk free rate that is unknown

Beta is 1.5

average market return is 10%

required rate of return is 12%

Rf?

12%=Rf+1.5*(10%-Rf)

12%=Rf+15%-1.5Rf

1.5Rf-Rf=15%-12%

0.5Rf=3%

Rf=3%/0.5

Rf=6%

Average rate of 10% has now increased by 30% i.e 10%*(1+30%)=13%

Required rate of return=6%+1.5*(13%-6%)

                                      =6%+1.5*7%

                                       =6%+10.5%=16.5%

When the Shaffers had a monthly income of $4,000, they usually ate out 8 times a month. Now that the couple makes $4,500 a month
choli [55]

Explanation:

Income Elasticity of Demand(IED)= Percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in income

-Percentage change in Q:

%Change in quantity demanded= (q2-q1/q1) = (10-8)/8= 0.25

-Percentage change in Income:

%Change in income= (i2-i1/i1) = (4,500-4,000)/4,000= 0.125

IED= 0.25/0.125= 2

This indicates that the Shaffers are very sensitive to changes in income when it comes to eating out. Which means that changes in income will change significantly the number of times they eat out.

2. Restaurant meals are normal goods, in this case, because when income rises, they ate more in restaurants, then the units consumed for this good increase too.
