Answer:

22.22%

Explanation:

The calculation of percentage in sales is shown below:-

Increase in profit required = $25,000 - $15,000

= $10,000

To achieve a profit $10,000, the required sales increases

= $10000 ÷ 18%

= $55,555.55

Percentage increase in sale = Required sales ÷ Sales of current situation

= $55,555.55 ÷ $250,000

= 22.22%

So, for computing the percentage increase in sales we simply applied the above formula.

Matt inherited as a trust a fifteen-year annuity-immediate with annual payments. He has been told that the annuity payments earn
Pavel [41]

Answer:

effective annual interest rate = 6.32%

annual payment = $1,585

Explanation:

I believe that this is an ordinary annuity, so we can use the future and present value of an ordinary annuity formula:

FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor, so annual payment = FV / FV annuity factor

PV = annual payment x PV annuity factor, so annual payment = PV / PV annuity factor

we can equal both equations:

PV / PV annuity factor = FV / FV annuity factor

FV / PV = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

$37,804.39 / $15,077.10 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

2.5074 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

the easiest way to solve this is to use an annuity table since we already know that there are 15 periods (I used an excel spreadsheet):

%,15 periods      FV annuity factor     PV annuity factor        FV/PV

1                                 16.097                   13.865                      1.1609

2                                17.293                   12.849                      1.34586

3                                18.599                    11.938                      1.55797

4                               20.024                     11.118                       1.80104

5                                21.579                   10.380                      2.07890

<u>6                               23.276                   9.7122                       2.3966</u>

<u>7                                25.129                   9.1079                       2.7590</u>

8                                27.152                   8.5595                       3.1721

9                                29.361                   8.0607                      3.6425

10                               31.772                   7.6061                         4.4112

The interest rate must be between 6 and 7%:

%,15 periods      FV annuity factor     PV annuity factor        FV/PV

6                               23.276                   9.7122                       2.3966

6.1                             23.45404              9.6461                       2.43145

6.2                            23.63369              9.5858                      2.46549

6.3                            23.81491               9.52467                     2.50034

6.31                           23.83312               9.51851                     2.50387

<u>6.32                          23.85135               9.51236                     2.5074</u>

6.4                            23.99773              9.46337                     2.53585

effective interest rate = 6.32% per year

annual payment = $37,804.39 / 23.85135 = $1,585

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B. Must be written to be enforceable

Explanation:

In the United state, sale of personal property for $500 or more must be written to be enforceable. These kind of contracts are said to be within the statute of fraud.

These types of contracts are called Sales contracts which is an agreement between the buyer and seller. For the amount of money involved, a written contract provides security and peace to the mind of all those involved in the contract, hence why deals above $500 must be written to be enforceable.

If during 2009, the country of Sildavia recorded a GDP of $65 billion, interest payments of $15 billion, imports of $13 billion,
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$36 billion

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For this question, we use the income approach for calculation the wages i.e shown below:

GDP = Interest payments + profits + rent + wages

$65 billion = $15 billion + $7 billion + $7 billion + wages

$65 million = $29 billion + wages

So, the wages would be

= $65 billion - $29 billion

= $36 billion
