What did some farmers do to try to raise crop prices?

A 10-year semi-annual coupon bond with an $1000 par value pays an annual coupon rate of 6% and the market requires 8% APR. What

arlik [135]

Answer:

Coupon= $30 per period.

20 period for semi annual coupon payment.

28.148% discount rate

Explanation:

1.) Coupon rate * face value of bond = coupon

semi annual rate =6%/2=3%

Coupon= 1000 *3%= $30 per period.

2.) t= number of periods = years of maturity * coupon payment semi-annual

t= 10 * 2 = 20 periods.

3. Discount rate formula =C+[(F-P)/t] / (F+P/2)

where C=coupon payment annual

F= face value of security

P=price of security= 1000 *8%=80

t= years of maturity.

so we have⇒ 60+[(1000-80)/10]/(1000+80)/2

=152/540

=28.148%

Pajama Corp. uses direct materials (fabric, thread, buttons), and direct labor (cutting, sewing labor) to make each pair of paja

RUDIKE [14]

Question Completion:

Estimated manufacturing overhead costs = $156,000

Estimated direct labor cost = $390,000

Estimated direct materials cost = $350,000

Answer:

Pajama Corp.

The cost driver rate = $0.40 per DL cost.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead costs = $156,000

Estimated direct labor cost = $390,000

Estimated direct materials cost = $350,000

Cost driver rate = $0.40 ($156,000/$390,000)

b) To calculate the cost driver rate, Pajamas Corp. divides the total estimated manufacturing overhead costs by the cost driver (direct labor cost). This implies that the cost driver rate is the total cost of activity pool divided by its cost driver. This yields the amount of overhead and indirect costs related to a particular activity.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) Contribution margin= $6,4

b) break-even point:

in units=76562 cds

in dollars=$869058

c) Net profit= $5910000

d) Q=107813 cds

Explanation:

Variable costs:

CD package and disc $1.25/CD

Songwriters’ royalties $0.35/CD

Recording artists’ royalties $1.00/CD

<u>Total Variable costs= $2,6</u>

Fixed Costs:

Advertising and promotion $275,000

Studio Recordings$215,000

Total fixed costs= $490000

Price=$9

a) contribution margin= Price- variable costs= 9-2,6= $6,4

b) break-even point:

in units=fixed costs/contribution margin=490000/6,4= 76562 cds

in dollars= fixed costs/(contribution to sale ratio)

in dollars= fixed costs/(contribution margin/price)

in dollars= 490000/(6,4/9)= $869058

c) q=1000000

sales= 9000000 (1000000*9)

variable costs= -2600000 (1000000*2,6)

fixed costs= -490000

Net profit= $5910000

d)Profit= 200000 q=?

using the break-even formula

Q=(fixed cost+profit)/contribution margin

Q=690000/6.4=107813 cds

Maria Lorenzi owns an ice cream stand that she operates during the summer months in West Yellowstone, Montana. She is unsure how

ddd [48]

Answer:

1. $2,185

2. Percentage increase 14%. Sales decrease -22%

3. $1,805

4. -17.4%

Explanation:

1. In calculating the profit for the first week we will simply deduct the costs from the sales.

= Sales - Fixed Costs - Variable costs

= (1,800 cones * 3.5) - 2,675 - ( 1,800 cones * 0.8)

= 6,300 - 2,675 - 1,440

= $2,185

$2,185 is her profit for the first week.

2. Percentage increase in selling price will be,

= 4-3.5/3.5 * 100%

= 14%

Percentage decrease in sales

= 1,400 - 1,800 / 1,800 * 100%

= -22%

3. Using the first questions method we have,

= (1,400 * 4) - 2,675 - (1,400 * 0.8)

= 5,600 - 2,675 - 1,120

= $1,805

$1,805 is her profit for the second week.

4. Decrease in profit

= $1,805 - $2,185 / 2,185 * 100%

= -17.4%

Maria Lorenzi suffered a decrease in profit of -17.4% as a result of raising her prices by 14%.
