Answer:
$2,253.35
Explanation:
external financing needed = EFN = [(total assets/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [(total current liabilities/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [profit margin x forecasted sales in $ x (1 - dividend payout ratio)]
total assets = $48,900
total sales = $42,700
$ Δ sales = $5,978
current liabilities = $3,650
profit margin = net income / sales = 0.129
forecasted sales = $48,678
dividends payout ratio = dividends / net income = 0.35
EFN = [($48,900/$42,700) x ($5,978)] - [($3,650/$42,700) x ($5,978)] - [0.129 x $48,678 x (1 - 0.35)]
EFN = $6,846 - $511 - $4,081.65 = $2,253.35
Answer:
$259.35
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of cash paid is shown below:
= (Purchase value of merchandise - returned goods of merchandise - discount charges)
= ($9,100 - $455 - $259.35)
= $8,385.65
The discount charges is
= (Purchase value of merchandise - returned goods of merchandise) × discount rate
= ($9,100 - $455) × 3%
= $259.35
We simply applied the above formula
Answer:
$1,256,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Number of semiannual payments received = 16
Amount of each payment = $100,000
Annual interest rate = 6%
Thus,
Semiannual interest rate = 
= 3% = 0.03
Now,
Payment = Amount × 
or
Payment = $100,000 × 
Payment = $100,000 × 12.56
or
Payment = $1,256,000
Answer:
800 units of product A must be sold for break-even
Explanation:
Given, weighted-average contribution is $100.
Total break-even units = Total fixed cost / Weighted-average contribution
Total break-even units = $400,000 / $100
Total break-even units = 4,000 units
Product A break-even = 4,000 x 20%
Product A break-even = (800 units)
Hence, the correct answer is 800 units.
Answer:
Comedy as a Profession is a great example.
Explanation:
The science of it is related to the psychology of what makes people laugh.
If studied, one would realize that there are certain things that are bound to make people laugh (all things being equal). An example is when a person makes fun of themself to an audience.
To explain this, scientists have stated that it is inherent in humans to laugh at the misfortune of others. However, this is just a theory and does not explain why we laugh at other kinds of comedy.
A plausible explanation (which is more recent in the parlance of psychology) is that people also laugh when certain expectations are defied in a very witty manner.
As a professional stand-up comedian, knowing all the rules and tricks is just one part of the coin. Being able to, either by practice or repeated efforts during practice, internalize these principles, practice them and effectively use them is the artistic part of the picture.
There those who are gifted naturally with a principle thought process that elicits laughter from others, would be termed hilarious. However, to make a living out of comedy, one would need to fully understand the principles and practice to deliver them as naturally as possible.
Another paradigm to the art of comedy is that, it has to be very witty. Wit many times may come with an element of suprise... a new angle that was previously "unthought" of.
Cheers!
