Answer:
a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.
- Cost for Plan A = ($0.41 x 120) + ($0.16 x 40) + $20 = $
75.60
- Cost for Plan B = ($0.51 x 120) + ($0.15 x 40) + $20 = $
87.20
- Cost for Plan C = $80 + $20 = $100
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
- If the agent will use the service only for daytime calls, Plan A is better if the agent uses 195 minutes maximum. If the agent expects to use 196 or more minutes, then Plan C is better.
c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B?
- Plan A charges 10¢ less per daytime minute, while plan B charges 1¢ less for evening minutes, that means that the proportion of daytime calls should be 1/11, while the proportion of evening calls should be 10/11.
Answer:
41 percent
Explanation:
Given : Budgeted Sales $112,900,000
Fixed Costs $25,000,000
Variable Costs $66,611,000
Contribution margin = Net Sales - Variable costs
= $112,900,000 - $66,611,000
= $ 46,289,000
Contribution Margin Ratio = 
= 
= 41%
Contribution margin ratio indicates the percentage of sales remaining so as to cover a firm's fixed expenses. It also represents how much percentage of sales is required to cover the variable costs.
It is also expressed as , 100 - Variable cost ratio (in percentage)
Answer:
Investment period = 24 years
Explanation:
The total amount that an investment made today would become if invested at a particular rate for certain number of years is known as the future value.
The $1,200,000 is the desired future value, the $296, 375 is the present value and the 6% is the interest rate.
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
1,200,000 = 296,375 × (1.06)^(n)
(1.06)^(n) = 1200000/96,375
(1.06)^(n) =4.048924504
find the log of both sides
n log 1.06= log 4.048924504
n= log 4.048924504/log 1.06
n = 24
It will take 24 years
Answer:
d. the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
Place more oil on the market this year, shifting the curve rightward.
Explanation:
1. In the given scenario the government is willing to give home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build.
This will result in more willingness on the part of the construction companies to build more houses.
More houses built means more income coming in from the government.
Therefore the supply curve of home building will shift to the right.
2. When oil producers expect prices of oil to increase in the next year, there is a need to control oil prices by increasing availability of oil in the market.
Increase in price results from a scarcity of oil. So to mitigate this excess oil is supplied to control price increase.
This action will shift the curve rightward.
The answer to your question is true.
