Riverbed Company had $151,800 of net income in 2016 when the selling price per unit was $151, the variable costs per unit were $91, and the fixed costs were $575,800. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2017. The president of Riverbed Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $64,300 in 2017. 1. Compute the number of units sold in 2016. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e. g. 1,225.)
2. Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2017 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
3. Assume that Naylor Company sells the same number of units in 2017 as it did in 2016. What would the selling price have to be in order to reach the stockholders? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e. g. 12.25.)

Riverbed Company

1. The number of units sold in 2016:

= 12,127

2. The number of units that would have to be sold in 2017 to meet desired profit level of stockholders:

= 13,199

3. Assuming that Naylor Company sells the same number of units in 2017 as it did in 2016, the selling price have to increase to $156.30 per unit, in order to achieve stockholders' desire for more profitability.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

2016 net income = $151,800

Selling price = $151

Variable cost per unit = $91

Contribution = $60

Fixed costs = $575,800

Units sold = 12,127 ($575,800 + 151,800)/$60

When net income increases by $64,300, the units sold will increase by 1,072 ($64,300/$60)

Sales volume = 13,199 (12,127 + 1,072)

To achieve the same level of profitability ($216,100) at the same level of units sold, the price will increase by $5.30 ($64,300/12,127) to $156.30.

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

always drive on the right side of the road.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

solid white lines mean stay in your lane.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.

do not overuse your car horn. horns are used almost exclusively for emergency situations or for when you feel unsafe.

explanation:

the definition of a small business is an independently owned and operated company that is limited in size and in revenue depending on the industry. a local bakery that employs 10 people is an example of a small business. a manufacturing facility that employees less than 500 people is an example of a small business.
