Anheuser-Busch InBev Companies, Inc., reported the following operating information for a recent year (in millions of dollars): Net sales $47,063 Cost of goods sold $18,756 Selling, general and administration 12,999 $31,755 Income from operations $15,308* *Before special items In addition, assume that Anheuser-Busch InBev sold 400 million barrels of beer during the year. Assume that variable costs were 75% of the cost of goods sold and 50% of selling, general and administration expenses. Assume that the remaining costs are fixed. For the following year, assume that Anheuser-Busch InBev expects pricing, variable costs per barrel, and fixed costs to remain constant, except that new distribution and general office facilities are expected to increase fixed costs by $300 million. When computing the cost per unit amounts for the break-even formula, round to two decimal places. If required, round your final answer to one decimal place. a. Compute the break-even number of barrels for the current year. million barrels b. Compute the anticipated break-even number of barrels for the f

a) Break even = 480.5 units ≈ 481 Million units

b) Breakeven = 8,014,162,500 units

Explanation:

calculations are in millions

Breakeven = fixed costs / contribution per unit

selling price per unit = $47063/400 = $117.66

Variable cost = ($18756*75%) + ($31755*50%) = $14067 +15877.50 =$29944.5/400 units =$74.86

contribution = $117.66-$74.86 = $42.80

fixed costs = ( $18756*25%) +( $31755*50%) =  $4689 + 15877.50 = $20566.50

Breakeven = $20566.50/$42.80 = 480.5 units

b) calculations

fixed costs = 20,566,500 + 300,000,000

                 = 320,566,500

break even = $320,566,500 /0.04

                  = 8,014,162,500 units

Marissa only needs to attend a two-year college.

Explanation:

A hydroelectric production manager requires both technical and managerial skills. Like many other managerial positions, this one too requires a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Marissa will have to attend a four-year degree program at a college/university.

After graduation and once employed, Marissa will need guidance and work experience to grow to her dream position. She will require an apprenticeship program to prepare her for the managerial role. The counselor also made an error by telling her that she needs four years of college education to acquire an associate degree. The truth is that an associate degree takes two years to achieve.
