Answer:
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Explanation:
First find the Present Value of the Annuity giving payments of $32,000 annually for 25 years at the rate of 10%.
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
PMT = $32,000
P/y = 1
N = 25
R = 10%
FV = 0
Thus, the Present Value, PV is $290,465.28
At the time of retirement (in 20 years time) the Value of the annuity fund is $290,465.28.
Next we need to find the Payments PMT to reach this amount in 20 years time at the interest rate of 8%
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
FV = $290,465.28
N = 20
R = 8 %
PV = $0
Thus, the Payments, PMT required will be $6,347.3080
Conclusion :
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Answer:
A) Price 7,080 U
B) Quantity 4,630.5 U
C) Total 11.710,5 U
Explanation:
DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES
std cost $3.45
actual cost $3.65
quantity 35,400
difference $(0.20)
price variance $(7,080.00)
std quantity 36110.00
actual quantity 35400.00
std cost $3.45
difference 710.00
quantity variance $2,449.50
Total Variance: 2,449.5 - 7,080 = -4.630,5
I would suggest it would most likely to be either A or B or both, however if I had to pick one I would go for A.
A - The question suggests you may have been putting more effort and <span>enthusiasm</span> into sales of the products for your new business "<span>you were so excited about the large volume of orders you had" which may mean after your first year of business you may have started to slack of or get complacent with putting you business out there marketing wise, also when launching a product for the first time people are interested in the new and latest thing (such as a new business) after a while people start to forget unless you have marketing and advertising to remind them.
</span>
B - If the product you offer is unique and you were the first business to sale this / these items then after a year it is possible other competitors have started to copy you however this would completely depend on the products you sale.
C - Given you already had large orders in the first year people are happy to pay for the products you offer so this would exclude C.
D - If you have already had many orders in the first year people obviously want the products you sale even if you only sale 1 or 2 things so unlikely to be D.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Data Given:
Material Cost Per Trailer = $500
Material Cost plus Profit Per Trailer (15%) = $500 + 75 = $575
Selling Price = $1000
Labor Cost Remaining Per Trailer = $425
Formula to Calculate the number of Trailers:
X = X1 (
)
Where,
N = number of Trailers
S = Slope Parameter
X = $425
X1 = $700
So, First we need to find the slope parameter, in order to calculate the number of trailers to be built.
S = 
where, α = 0.85 rate of improvement.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
S = 
S = -0.234
Now, we can easily find the number of trailers.
X = X1 ()
Plugging in the values,
425 = 700 x (
)
Solving For N, we get:
N = 8.4 Trailers
N = 9 Trailers.
Hence, 9 Trailers must be built in order to realize this rate of profit.
