Identify the appropriate step in the communication process.

a. The break-even point equals Fixed Cost divided by Contribution per unit. This results in a break-even point of $1,500,000 divided by $19.95, which equals 75,188 subscribers. b. The new break-even point would be calculated by $1,500,000 divided by $24.95, yielding 60,120 subscribers. c. Currently, the subscriber base consists of 73,000, and after accounting for a loss of 10,000 subscribers, the adjusted total is 63,000. Since 60,120 subscribers are required to break even, the company remains profitable with 2,880 extra subscribers exceeding the break-even number.

Response:

The interest rate is 5.7%          $21.204

Clarification:

The formula for calculating simple interest is

I =

Given that

I = Interest, T = time;;R is rate; P = principal

John earned this interest by July 1, 1993 as follows:

           I = = 72

Consequently, the total amount in John's account by July 1, 1993 would then be

= $300 + $72= $372

This indicates he utilized these funds at an interest rate of q.

On July 1, 1998, John’s total was $520, meaning the interest accumulated in these five years equals $520 - $372 = $148.

Using the simple interest formula: Interest = PRT/100

148 =

       = 14,800 =2600q

       q =

Thus, the rate is found to be 5.7%

The interest amount between July 1, 1993, and July 1, 1994 calculates as

    I =

          = $21.204

Respuesta:

Objetivo de costo = Precio de mercado - Margen de beneficio deseado

                   = $181 - $19

                   = $162

Explicación:

El costo objetivo es la diferencia entre el precio de mercado competitivo y el margen de beneficio deseado. En el método de costo objetivo, el precio de mercado está fijado por las fuerzas del mercado. Se resta el margen de beneficio deseado del precio de mercado para obtener el costo objetivo.
