Ivanhoe Diesel owns the Fredonia Barber Shop. He employs 5 barbers and pays each a base rate of $1,380 per month. One of the barbers serves as the manager and receives an extra $535 per month. In addition to the base rate, each barber also receives a commission of $3.75 per haircut. Other costs are as follows.
Advertising $270 per month
Rent $1,010 per month
Barber supplies $0.50 per haircut
Utilities $160 per month plus $0.15 per haircut
Magazines $35 per month
Ivanhoe currently charges $11 per haircut.

Fredonia Barber Shop

a. Variable costs per haircut = $4.40

   Total monthly fixed costs = $8,910

b. Break-even point in units = 1,350

Break-even point in sales dollars = $14,850

Net income with 1,670 haircuts = $2,120

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed costs:

Wages of barbers per month =    $6,900 ($1,380 * 5)

Manager's allowance per month = $535

Advertising per month =                 $270

Rent per month =                           $1,010

Utilities per month =                        $160

Magazines per month =                   $35

Total fixed costs per month =     $8,910

Ivanhoe currently charges $11 per haircut.

Variable costs per haircut:

Commission per haircut =       $3.75

Barber supplies per haircut = $0.50

Utilities per haircut =                $0.15

Total variable costs per unit   $4.40

Contribution margin per haircut = $6.60 ($11 - $4.40)

Contribution margin ratio = 0.6

Break-even point in units = $8,910/$6.60 = 1,350

Break-even point in sales dollars = $8,910/0.6 = $14,850

Net income assuming 1,670 haircuts for a month:

Sales revenue = $18,370 ($11 * 1,670)

Variable costs =     7,340 ($4.40 * 1,670)

Contribution       $11,030

Fixed costs            8,910

Net income         $2,120

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.

a loan? that’s my guess, anywho.
