During the past year, a firm produces 250 tablet devices at an average variable cost of $40 and at an average fixed cost of $10.

Bumek [7]

The total costs = Total variable costs + Total fixed costs

Given,

Average variable costs = $ 40

Average fixed cost = $ 10

Tablets produced during the year = 250

Total variable cost = Average variable costs × Tablets produced during the year

Total variable cost = 250 tablets × $ 40 = 10,000

Total fixed cost = Average fixed costs × Tablets produced during the year

Total fixed cost = 250 tablets × $ 10 = $ 2,500

Total costs = Total variable cost + Total fixed cost

Total costs = $ 10,000 + $ 2,500 = $ 12,500

The Corner Bakery has a bond issue outstanding that matures in 7 years. The bonds pay interest semi-annually. Currently, the bon

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Ans. The after tax cost of this bond is 2.09%

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to establish the cash flow of the bond, so we can find the after tax cost of the bond. After we find the after tax cash flow of the bond, we must use the IRR function of MS Excel to find the semi-annual cost of this debt, but, all after tax debts should be presented in annual basis. Let me walk you through the process. First, let me show you how it should look.

Face Value 100

price 101,4

years 7 years

Coupon 9%

Coupon 4,5% semi-annually

tax 30%

Per Cash Flow After Tax

0 101,4 101,4

1 -4,5 -3,15

2 -4,5 -3,15

3 -4,5 -3,15

4 -4,5 -3,15

5 -4,5 -3,15

6 -4,5 -3,15

7 -4,5 -3,15

8 -4,5 -3,15

9 -4,5 -3,15

10 -4,5 -3,15

11 -4,5 -3,15

12 -4,5 -3,15

13 -4,5 -3,15

14 -104,5 -73,15

Cost of Debt 1,04% semi-annually

Cost of Debt 2,09% annually

Ok, now, as you can see, there are 14 periods, that is because the coupon is paid semi-annually, the way to find the cash flow (I mean, the bond´s coupon) is:

$Coupon (semi-annual)=(Face Value)x\frac{0.09}{2} =4.5$

At the end (period 14), we need to add the face value and the coupon, that is $100+$4.5=$104.5

Now, to find the value of the third column (after-tax cost), we do the following.

$After-tax-Cost=Couponx(1-taxes)=4.5(1-0.3)=3.15\\$

Now, consider this, you are receiving 101.4 for every 100 of debt, that means that you are receiving more money than the emission value, and paying interests over 100 instead of 101.4, that is why we have to use the IRR excel function to find out the semi-annual cost of debt. That is, 1.04%.

Now, to make this an effective annual rate, we calculate it like this.

$EffectiveAnnualRate=(1+semi-annual Rate)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=(1+0.0104)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.0209$

Finally, the after-tax cost of this debt is = 2.09%

Best of luck.

Alborosie

Available Options are:

A) comprehension

B) conviction

C) ordering

D) reordering

E) awareness-building

Answer:

Option E. Awareness-building

Explanation:

The reason is that the main purpose of the advertisement and the publicity of the product is to increase the interest of the customer by portraying the product as a masterpiece. Furthermore, under the AIDA Model, it is the second stage which is:

Stage 1: A is for Attention

Stage 2: I is for Interest Development

Stage 3: D is for Desire Generation

Stage 4: A is Action (Purchasing the product)

So advertising is basically the second stage.

How much would a homeowner receive with actualâ cash-value coverage and replacement cost coverage for aâ three-year old sofa des

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$729

Explanation:

We can calculate the actual cost value by first multiplying the purchase value by the depreciation rate and after that deducting that amount from the replacement cost.

DATA

Replacement value = $1,200

Purchase value = $942

Depreciation rate = 3 years/6 years = 0.5

Solution

Acutal cost value = Replacement value - ( Purchase value x Depreciation rate)

Acutal cost value = $1200 - ($942 x 0.5)

Acutal cost value = $729
