Foreign portfolio investment, which is simple people in one country investing in the assets of another country.
Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold
If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:
(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000
24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.
Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units
We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!
Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833
Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)
Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72
10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200
Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000
Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)
Answer:
C.Accounting Identity is: Assets equivalentLiabilities + Owners' Equity.
Explanation:
In accounting identity all variables must balance, if they do not balance according to the equation then there must be an error in formulation, measurement or calculation.
The basic assumption in accounting identity is that the balance sheet must balance. That is assets must be equal to a sum of liabilities and owner's equity.
Asset= Liabilities+ Owners Equity.
This relationship is based on the convention of double entry, for every debit there is an equal credit.
Answer:
Amount allocated = $620,000
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Bond issuance = $15,000,000
Electric mixer division used = $9,300,000
Electric lamp division used = $5,700,000
Interest cost on the bond = $1,000,000
Electric mixer division = Electric mixer division used ÷ Bond issuance
= $9,300,000 ÷ $15,000,000
=0.62
So, Allocated interest expense = Interest cost on the bond × Electric mixer division
= $1,000,000 × 0.62
= $620,000
Answer:
15.26%
Explanation:
Given:
Expected return = 15.1% = 0.151
Expected loss in recession = - 8% = - 0.08 [negative sign depicts loss]
Expected earning in a boom = 18% = 0.18
Probabilities of a recession = 2% = 0.02
Probabilities of a normal economy = 87% = 0.87
Probabilities of a boom = 11% = 0.11
Now,
Expected return = ∑ (Probability × Return)
or
0.151 = 0.02 × ( - 0.08) + 0.11 × 0.18 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy
or
0.151 = - 0.0016 + 0.0198 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy
or
0.151 - 0.0182 = 0.87 × Return on normal economy
or
Return on normal economy = 0.1526
or
= 0.1526 × 100%
= 15.26%
