The Adept Co. is analyzing a proposed project. The company expects to sell 3,500 units, give or take 10 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $7 and the expected fixed costs are $12,500. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a plus or minus 5 percent range. The depreciation expense is $6,000. The sale price is estimated at $15 a unit, give or take 2 percent. The company bases their sensitivity analysis on the expected case scenario. What is the sales revenue under the optimistic case scenario? a. $54,880.
b. $50,000.
c. $58,905.
d. $53,120.
e. $54,000.

c. $58,905.

Explanation:

The computation of the sales revenue is shown below:

optimistic scenario revenue = optimistic unit sold × optimistic price

where,

optimistic unit sold = 3500 × 110%

= $3,850  

optimistic price  = 15 × 102%

= 15.3  

So, the Optimistic revenue is

= 3850 × 15.3

= $58,905  

Hence, the option c is correct

The East Asian Financial Crisis of the 1990s:

Was associated with moral hazard and fixed exchange rates.

Explanation:

The countries which suffered adverse distress from the financial crisis were Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand.  The financial meltdown followed the collapse of the hot money bubble, whereby high interest rates and fixed foreign exchange rates were pegged to the U.S. dollars by these mostly exporting countries.  The practice largely favored these Asian exporters until the bubble burst, starting from July of 1997.  And the consequences and lessons now remain Economics and History topics.
