Answer:

Profit will increase by 5,975

Explanation:

From past year we can see that total variable cost will be:

Direct Material+Direct Labor+Variable Over head.

Total Variable Cost =100,000+20% of 20,000

Total Variable costs = 100,000+4000= 104,000

Per Unit Variable cost = Total Variable cost/Total Unit Produced

Per Unit Variable Cost = 104,000/16,000 = 6.5

If Benjamin accepts the offer results will be:

Sale (4,500*8.05) 36,225

Variable Cost (4,500*6.5) (29,250)

Incremental Fixed cost (650)

Incremental admin

and selling cost (350)

$

Direct Labour. 100,000

Variable overhead( 0.2 × 20,000) 4,000

-----------

Total overhead. 104,000

---------------

Direct Labour = Total overhead / Total production

= 104,000/16,000

= 6.5

These variable cost is a relevant cost, we can now compare the estimated relevant cost with the relevant revenue if the order is accepted

$

Additional Revenue (4,500 × 8.05) 36,225

Less: unit purchased (4,500 × 6.5) 29,250

----------------

Excess of revenue over cost. 6,975

-------------------

Therefore the profit will be increased by $6,975

Method A assumes simple interest over final fractional periods, while Method B assumes simple discount over final fractional per
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The answer is "1.1"

Explanation:

In the case of a single Interest, the principal value is determined as follows:

\ I = Prt \\\ A = P + I\\A = P(1+rt) \\\\A = amount \\P= principle\\r = rate\\t= time

In case of discount:

D = Mrt \\P = M - D \\P = M(1-rt)\\\\Where,  D= discount \\M =\  Maturity  \ value \\

Let income amount = 100, time = 1.5 years, and rate =20 %.

Formula:

A = P(1+rt)  

A =P+I

by putting vale in the above formula we get the value that is = 76.92, thus method A will give 76.92  value.

If we calculate discount then the formula is:

P = M(1-rt)

M = 100  rate and time is same as above.

P = 100(1-0.2 \times 1.5) \\P = 100 \times \frac{70}{100} \\P = 70

Thus Method B will give the value that is 70  

calculating ratio value:

ratio = \frac{\ method\  A \ value} {\ method \ B \ value}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = \frac{76.92}{70}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = \frac{7692}{7000}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = 1.098 \ \ \ \  or \ \ \ \  1.

You are planning your retirement in 10 years. You currently have $169,000 in a bond account and $609,000 in a stock account. You
Over [174]

Answer:

$187,584.20

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the total future value (FV) of the bond account and stock account after 10 year from now (when you come to retirement age):

FV_bond at retirement = 169,000 x (1 + 7.25%)^10 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^9 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^8 + … 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^0 = 426,230.93

FV_stock at retirement = 609,000 x (1 + 10.75%)^10 = 1,690,653.63

Total FV of your investment portfolio = 2,116,884.57

Because you plan to use up all the funds in your account after 21 equal amount withdrawals after retirement, total present value <em>(at the time you retire not now)</em> of these withdrawals <em>(discounted at 6.5%)</em> have to be equal to the value of your invesment 10 years from now, or:

2,116,884.57 = C/(1+6.5%) + C/(1+6.5%)^2 + … + C/(1+6.5%)^21, with C is the amount you plan to withdraw each year.

Solve the equation we get C = 187,584.20

<em>Note: The equation can be solved easily using Excel or BAII Plus.</em><em> </em>
