A landowner and his neighbor purchased adjoining undeveloped lots. After both built homes on their respective lots, the landowne

r suggested to the neighbor that a common driveway be built where the two lots joined. The neighbor agreed. The landowner and the neighbor split the cost of constructing the driveway and entered into a written agreement to equally share the costs of its upkeep and maintenance. The agreement was recorded in the county recorder's office. Two years later, the neighbor built a new driveway located entirely on his lot. The common driveway, which the landowner continued to use but which the neighbor no longer used, began to deteriorate. The landowner asked the neighbor for money to maintain the common driveway, but the neighbor refused to contribute. Three years later, the neighbor conveyed his lot to a friend. The friend entered into possession and used only the driveway built by the neighbor. By this time, the common driveway had deteriorated badly and contained numerous potholes. The landowner asked the friend to pay half of what it would take to repair the common driveway. The friend refused. The landowner repaired the driveway and sued the friend for 50% of the cost of repairs. Will the landowner prevail?

Free_Kalibri [3773]

Answer:

Incremental profit = $30000

thus, the correct choice is a. $30,000

Explanation:

provided data

Variable costs = $75

Fixed costs = 30

Sales price = $165

to determine

incremental profit or loss from approval

solution

The contribution per unit is calculated as follows:

Contribution per unit = $165 - $75

Contribution per unit = $90

Consequently, we determine the loss on contribution from forgoing regular sales:

Loss on contribution = $3000 × $90

Loss on contribution = $270000

Furthermore,

The incremental contribution for the special order is calculated as:

Incremental contribution = (135 - 75) × 5000

Incremental contribution = $300000

Thus, the incremental profit equates to:

Incremental profit = $300000 - $270000

Incremental profit = $30000

therefore, the correct option is a. $30,000

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.
