$40,000 per year; $37,500 per year; $40,000. Explanation: From the information provided, Alpha Firm guarantees a salary of $40,000 annually, without bonuses, while Beta Firm offers a base salary of $35,000 annually with a 25% chance at an extra $10,000 bonus. Accordingly, the expected salary at Alpha Firm is clearly $40,000 per year. For Beta Firm, the anticipated salary amounts to $35,000 + 0.25($10,000) = $37,500. To remain indifferent about choosing between the two firms, the expected annual bonus from Beta Firm must equal at least $40,000.

Answer:

1.                                            Variable           Fixed

Cost of goods sold          70,000,000     30,000,000

Selling Expenses             12,000,000        4,000,000

Administrative Exp.           6,000,000         6,000,000

Total                                  88,000,000     40,000,000

Note:

Cost of goods sold: 70% variable and 30% fixed on 10,000,000 respectively

Selling expenses: 75% variable and 25% fixed on $16,000,000 respectively

Administrative expenses: 50% variable and 50% fixed on $12,000,000 respectively

2. Unit Variable cost = Total variable cost / Units produced

Total Variable cost          88,000,000

Units produced                  1,000,000

Unit variable cost                  88      

Unit Contribution margin = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit

Selling Price                    $188

- Variable cost per unit       $88

Unit Contribution margin   $100

3. Break even Point (Units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                    40,000,000

Contribution margin per Unit           100    

Break even Point (Units)               400,000

4. Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                           40,000,000

Increased Fixed cost                           5,000,000

Total New fixed cost                          45,000,000

Contribution margin per unit                   100      

Break even point (units)                      450,000

5. Determined sales units = (New fixed cost + Desired Income) / Contribution margin

New Fixed Cost                45,000,000

Desired Income                60,000,000

                                         105,000,000

Contribution margin                100        

per unit

Determined sales units      1,050,000

6. Maximum Income from operation = Total New sales - Total New variable cost - Total Fixed cost

Sales                               188,000,000

Increased sales               11,280,000

Total New sales              199,289,000

Variable cost                    88,000,000

New Variable cost     5,280,000

Total New Variable cost   93,280,000

Total New Fixed cost       45,000,000

Maximum Income from   61,000,000

operation

Number of units = Increase in sales / Price per unit

New variable cost = Number of units * Unit variable cost

Increased sales                    11,280,000

Price per unit                            188    

Number of units                      60,000

Unit variable cost x                  88.00

New Variable cost                 5,280,000

7. Net income = Sales - Variable cost - New fixed cost

Sales                           188,000,000

Less: Variable cost      88,000,000

Less: New fixed cost   45,000,000

Net Income                  55,000,000

8. Option b. Supporting the proposal due to its potential to boost operational income.

soldi70 [3635]
When both cohesiveness and performance norms are elevated, productivity also tends to be high. Explanation: This statement holds true regarding the relation between group cohesiveness and the standards of performance on productivity. Cohesiveness is a defining aspect that influences group dynamics and is significant from a behavioral standpoint. It refers to the extent of attraction and commitment of group members to one another and their desire to remain part of the group. Cohesiveness illustrates how closely members feel connected to the group, based on the level of camaraderie among them.

The seller was told by the bank that she has a prepayment penalty due at the time of closing. the penalty is 6 months' interest
soldi70 [3635]
Utilizing the compound interest formula:

The annual compound interest equation, including principal amount, is:
A = P (1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

Here:

A = future value = $95000
P = principal investment amount =?
r = annual interest rate = 0.06
n = frequency of compounding per year = 2
x = duration in years for investment = 0.5


95,000 = P (1 + 0.06/2)¹

95,000 = P (1 + 0.03)

95,000 = P (1.03)

P = 95,000 ÷ 1.03

P = 95,000 ÷ 1.03

P = 92,233.01

Total compounded interest = 92,233.01 - 95,000

Total compounded interest = -2,766.99
