Answers

Answer:

c. depends on a number of factors, and can vary from one manager, location and type of employees.

Explanation:

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of supervising and ensuring his subordinates (employees) are working effectively and efficiently with the organization's goals and objectives.

In Business management or human resource management, span of control can be defined as the number of subordinates or junior level staffs who are directly controlled by a superior (manager).

Basically, the span of control for a manager depends on a number of factors, and can vary from one manager, location and type of employees.

Assume that you plan to buy a share of XYZ stock today and to hold it for 2 years. Your expectations are that you will not receive a dividend at the end of Year 1, but you will receive a dividend of $9.25 at the end of Year 2. In addition, you expect to sell the stock for $150 at the end of Year 2. If your expected rate of return is 16 percent, how much should you be willing to pay for this stock today?

Answers

Answer:

Price to be paid today = $118.35

Explanation:

The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model  

According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.  

The model can applied as follows:

PV of dividend = D×(1+r) ^(-n)

D- dividend , r - required rate , n- number of year

D- 9.25,  r - 16%, n = 2

PV of dividend = 9.25 × (1.16)^(-2)= 6.9

PV of disposal value

PV of dividend = F ×  (1+r) ^(-n)

D- disposal value  , r - required rate , n- number of year

PV of disposal value  = 150 × (1.16)^(-2)= 111.47

Price to be paid today

Total present value  =  6.9  +  111.47  = 118.35

Price to be paid today = $118.35

A company sells DVD players for $200 per unit. The players have a unit variable cost of $160. The company estimates that it will sell one home entertainment system for every four DVD players sold. Home entertainment systems have a unit variable cost of $460 and sell for $600 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $90,000. Assuming that the sales mix estimate is correct, how many DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even?

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point= 1,200 DVDs

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the sales proportion:

DVD= 4/5= 0.8

Home entertainment= 1/5= 0.2

Now, we need to calculate the break-even point for the whole company:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (200*0.8 + 600*0.2) - (160*0.8 + 460*0.2)

Weighted average contribution margin= 60

Break-even point (units)= 90,000/60= 1,500

Finally, the number of DVDs:

DVD= 1,500*0.8= 1,200 DVDs

DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even point :

Formula :

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution marginBreak-even point (units)= 90,000/60Break-even point (units)= 1,500

Therefore, the number of DVDs:

DVDs= Break-Even Point-Sales Proportion DVD= 1,500*0.8DVD= 1,200 DVDs

                                            Working Notes  :

Sales Proportion:

DVD= 4/5= 0.8

Home entertainment= 1/5= 0.2

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (200*0.8 + 600*0.2) - (160*0.8 + 460*0.2) Weighted average contribution margin= 60

 

DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even is 1200DVDs.
