The courts and equal employment opportunity guidelines have mandated that performance measurements be based on

Answer:

Follow the instructions provided below.

Explanation:

Given the data:

The selling price of the company's ball is $25.

Variable cost per item= $15.00

Fixed costs= 426,000

The contribution margin ratio is the percentage of sales contributing to fixed costs. It is calculated using:

Contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unit variable cost)/selling price

Contribution margin ratio= (25 - 15)/25= 0.4

Break-even units= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even units= 426,000/10= 42,600 units

The degree of operating leverage quantifies the change in income relative to sales fluctuations.

Degree of operating leverage= total contribution margin / (total contribution margin - fixed expenses)

Degree of operating leverage= (62,000*10) / [(62,000*10) - 426,000]

Degree of operating leverage= 3.20

Answer:

$2.0 billion

Explanation:

The Gross Domestic Product comprises the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country over a defined time period.

The formula for GDP is

GDP = consumption + government spending + investment + (exports - imports)

200,000 units are sold to consumers

300,000 units are sold to businesses

300,000 units are sold to government entities

100,000 units are exported

100,000 units remain in inventory

GDP= {200,000 + 300,000 + 300,000 + 100,000 + (100,000 - 0)} * $2,000

GDP = 1,000,000 * 2000

GDP = $2 billion

Answer:

4.88%

Explanation:

To determine the interest rate, use the formula:

r=(FV/PV)^(1/n)-1, where

r=interest rate

FV= future value= 423.17*(12*5)=423.17*60=$25,390.2

PV= initial amount= $20,000

n= time periods= 5

Substituting the values into the equation yields:

r=(25,390.2/20,000)^(1/5)-1

r=1.048-1

r=0.0488→4.88%

This indicates that the bank's annual interest rate is 4.88%.
