The contribution margin ratio is 25% for Grain Company and the break-even point in sales is $200,000. To obtain a target net operating income of $60,000, sales would have to be:_____.
A. $260,000.
B. $440,000.
C. $280,000.
D. $240,000.
Answer:
Option B. 440000
Explanation:
Given the contribution margin = 25%
Sales at break-even point = $200000
Net operating income = $60000
Sales at break even point = TFC / contribution margin ratio
200000 = TFC / 25%
TFC = 50000
Now find the net income:
Net income = Contribution margin - Fixed cost
60000 = Contribution margin - 50000
Contribution margin =60000 + 50000 = 110000
Sales revenue = Contribution margin / contribution ratio
Sales revenue = 110000 / 0.25 = 440000

An insurer sells a one-year policy to many people with the following loss distributions:Size of loss Probability of loss50,000 0.00530,000 0.0110,000 0.025,000 0.050 0.915Assume:1) The fair premiums, the administrative expenses and the profit loading are all paid at the beginning of the year;2) The claims are paid one year later;3) The interest rate is 8%;4) The administrative expenses are assumed to be 10% of the fair premiums;5) The profit loading is assumed to be 5% of the expected claim costs.Find the fair premium for the policy.
Answer:
Explanation:
The table can be computed as follows:
Size of loss Probability of loss
50000 0.005
30000 0.01
10000 0.02
5000 0.05
0 0.915
The expected claim for the cost can be calculated by multiply each of the loss sizes with their corresponding probability loss.
i.e.
[tex]= [50000 \times 0.005] + [30000 \times 0.01] + [10000 \times 0.02] + [5000 \times 0.05] + [0 \times0.915][/tex]
[tex]= 250 + 300 + 200 + 250 + 0[/tex]
[tex]= 1000[/tex]
Following the given assumptions:
The fair premium(X) of the policy is calculated as follows:
[tex]X= \dfrac{Expected \ Claim }{(1 + interest \ rate ) }+(Administrative \ Exp.\times X )+ exp. \ profit \ percentage[/tex]
[tex]X= \dfrac{1000}{(1 + 8\%)}+(10 \%\times X) +( 5\% \times 1000)[/tex]
[tex]X= \dfrac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)}+(0.1 X) + 50[/tex]
[tex]X-0.1X= \dfrac{1000}{(1.08)}+ 50[/tex]
0.9 X = 975.9259
X = 975.9259/0.9
Fair Premium (X) = 1084.36

The tax breaks will enable them have more money to reinvest into the research and the patent will provide incentive to them to continue the research knowing full well that they will be compensated by being the only ones to be able to use the technology invented for some time.
Also protecting property rights and enforcing contracts encourages investment in a country because people will be more trusting of making a return from business dealings. Higher investment leads to more productivity and growth.

Georgina consumes only grapefruits and pineapples. Her utility function is U (x comma y )equals x to the power of 0.8 end exponent y to the power of 0.2 end exponent, where x is the number of grapefruits consumed and y is the number of pineapples consumed. Georgina’s income is $105, and the prices of grapefruits and pineapples are $4 and $3, respectively. How many grapefruits will she consume?
Answer:
21
Explanation:
Given that:
The utility function U(x, y) = [tex]x^{0.8} y^{0.2}[/tex]
The budget line income is:
105=4x +3y
The equation MRTS is:
[tex]\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}[/tex]
where;
[tex]MU_x(x,y) = 0.8 \times x^{0.8-1}\times y^{0.2} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2}[/tex]
[tex]MU_y(x,y) = 0.2 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{0.2-1} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}[/tex]
and:
[tex]P_y= 3[/tex]
[tex]P_x = 4[/tex]
∴
Using the equation MRTS:
[tex]\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{ 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2} }{0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}} = \dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{4y }{x} = \dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]
4x = 12y
x = 12y/4
x = 3y
Replacing the value of x into the budget line income, we have:
105 = 4x + 3y
105 = 4(3y) + 3y
105 = 12y + 3y
105 = 15y
y = 105/15
y = 7
Then, from x = 3y
x = 3(7)
x = 21
Thus, she will consume 21 gapefruits
When a journal entry is made in a standard cost system to record the liability for direct manufacturing labor costs, the difference between the debits to the work in process accounts and the credits to the payroll payable is:___________a. only the price variance.b. only the efficiency variance.c. the difference between the actual costs incurred and the budgeted costs.d. the price and the efficiency labor variances.
Answer:
When a journal entry is made in a standard cost system to record the liability for direct manufacturing labor costs, the difference between the debits to the work in process accounts and the credits to the payroll payable is:___________
the price and the efficiency labor variances.
Explanation:
The total direct labor cost variance is the difference between the standard cost for actual production and the actual cost in production. It is divided into two main variances. They are the Labor Rate (price) Variance and the Labor Efficiency Variance. Using standard cost system, the cost debited to the work in process account is based on standard cost, while the corresponding credit entry in the payroll payable is based on the actual cost. The labor variance is, therefore, the price and efficiency labor variances.

The Federal Open Market Committee decides that it must increase the money supply by $50. Committee members tell you the reserve ratio is 0.2. They ask you what directive they should give to the open market desk. You tell them, being as specific as possible, using the money multiplier.
The Fed should _____________$ worth of government bonds.
Answer and Explanation:
As we know that
Multiplier Effect = 1 ÷ Reserve Ratio
So,
Reserve ratio = 1 ÷ 0.2
= 5
Now this means that $1 million deposit result into increased by $5 million in the overall money supply
So the money supply should rise by $50 and it should be $10 of the government securities
