Answer: $1203.83

Explanation: Continuous compounding is a great thing if you are earning on an investment. It says that the principal is constantly earning interest and the interest on interest is also compounding continuously. The formula for the continuous compounding is:

$A = P*e^(r*t)$

where, A = $2600

e = the mathematical constant e (2.7128)

r = 11%

n = 7 years

By inputting the above variables in the formula,

$$2600 = P * e^(0.11*7)$

$$2600 = P * e^(0.77)$

$2600 = P * 2.159766

P = $1203.834

Therefore, the amount to be invested today will be $1203.834

Anna35 [415]

Answer: Statement that “There is no need to evaluate mutual fund investments because investment companies hire the best professional managers they can to manage their funds “ is FALSE

A mutual fund is a pool of stocks, bonds or other funds where an investor purchase his shares. He gets one to meet his investment goals so evaluating a mutual fund's performance is needed and must involve thorough research to lessen risk.

Professional fund managers do make mistakes, so it is a must that investors continually evaluate their mutual fund investments.

9) A firm is selling two products, chairs and bar stools, each at $50 per unit. Chairs have a variable cost of $25, and bar stoo

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Ans.

a) BEP (units) =727; BEP($)= $36,350

b) BEP (units) =690; BEP($)=$34,500

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the break even point in units, we have to use the following equation in both cases.

$BEP(Units)=\frac{Fixed Costs}{(AveragePrice-Average VariableCost)}$

Since the sales mix is different in both scenarios, let´s find the average variable cost for a) (notice that there is no need to find the average price because both, the stool and the chair have the same price)

$AverageVariableCost=25*\frac{1}{2} +20*\frac{1}{2} =22.5$

Now, the fraction aside each of the price is 1/2 in both cases, because the sale mix 1:1 means that the company makes 1 stool for every chair it makes, in fraction that is, for every 2 items that the company makes, 1 is a stool (1/2) and 1 is a chair (1/2).

So, our BEP in units is:

$BEP(Units)=\frac{20,000}{(50-22.5)} =727$

$BEP(Dollars)=727*50=36,350$

That means that the company has to make 727 units, which 363 are chairs and 364 are stools (you could say 364 chairs and 363 stools too, because we are heavily rouding numbers). This is represented in $36,350 in sales.

Now, for b), our average cost is:

$AverageVariableCost=25*\frac{1}{5} +20*\frac{4}{5} =21$

As you can see, the fraction changed, that is because of the new sales mix of 1:4, that is: the company makes 4 stool for every chair it makes, in fraction that is, for every 5 items that the company makes, 4 are a stools (4/5) and 1 is a chair (1/5).

Now, let´s find our new BEP in units and dollars.

$BEP(Units)=\frac{20,000}{(50-21)} =690$

$BEP(Dollars)=690*50=34,500$

That means that the company has to make 690 products, which 138 are chairs and 552 are stools. This is represented in $34,500 in sales.

Best of luck.
