Segment Net Income (loss)  (118,125)   92,325   (25,800) 

Workings:

w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage

Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923

Coccia Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 8 percent coupon

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

7.28%

Explanation:

For this question we use the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment below:

Provided that

Present value = $1,075

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40

NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the coupon rate is

= 3.64% × 2

= 7.28%

Suppose the current exchange rate for the Polish zloty is Z 2.92. The expected exchange rate in three years is Z 3.00. What is t

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The answer is 91% or Supposed to be 0.00905

Explanation:

We can use the relative purchasing power parity equation:

Ft = S0 × [1 + (hFC – hUS)]t

We can find:

Z 3.00 =Z 2.92 [1 + (hFC – hUS)]3

hFC – hUS = (Z 3.00/Z 2.92)1/3 – 1

hFC – hUS = .00905

The Inflation in Poland is expected to exceed that in the U.S. by 91% over this period.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

a bona fide occupational qualification

Explanation:

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification is a term used to describe a type of discrimination that is not illegal, even if it seems. It is a positive discrimination used by companies to hire new employees, when necessary, based on factors that are considered discriminatory such as gender, religion, nationality, among others.

An example of this can be seen when the film recording industry needs to hire an Asian actor to play a character of Asian origin. This industry uses nationality as a discriminatory factor to hire someone, but in this scenario, this does not discriminate.
