Answer:
To set the parameters for the bonus page for the 5 years are as follows:
The sales revenue for the year 1 = $5,000,000.00
Bonus percentage = 2% (0.02) of the sales per year
Then the interest rate for the Bonus earnings = 6% (0.06)
also remember that the sales revenue from year 3 will be compounded by <em>10%</em> for the remaining 3 successive years.
Explanation:
For Year 1: $5000000.00 x 0.02 =$100,000.00
Solving for the Bonus interest = 100,000.00 x 0.06 = $6,000.00
Therefore, Total Bonus earnings for the Year 1 = $6,000.00
For Year 2: $5,500,000.00 x 0.02 = $110,000.00;
Solving for the Bonus interest = 110,000.00 x 0.06 = $6,000.00
Therefore, Total Bonus earnings for the Year 2 = $6,600.00
For Year 3: The sales revenue of $5500000.00 compounded by 10%
= $5500000.00 x 0.10 = $550,000.00.
Therefore, the sales revenue of year 2 + the compounded interest amount
= $5500000.00 + $550,000.00 = $6,050,000.00
$6,050,000.00 x 0.02 = $121,000.00;
Solving for the Bonus interest = $121,000.00 x 0.06 = $7,260.00
Therefore, Total Bonus earnings for the Year 3 = $7,260.00.
For Year 4: The sales revenue of $6,050,000.00 compounded by 10%
= $6,050,000.00 x 0.10 = $605,000.00.
Therefore, the sales revenue of year 3 + the compounded interest amount
= $6,050,000.00.00 + $605,000.00 = $6,655,000.00
$6,655,000.00 x 0.02 = $133,100.00;
Solving for the Bonus interest = 133,100.00 x 0.06 = $7,986.00
Therefore, Total Bonus earnings for the Year 4 = $7986.00
For Year 5: The sales revenue of $6,655,000.00 compounded by 10%
= $6,655,000.00 x 0.10 = $665,500.00.
Therefore, the sales revenue of year 3 + the compounded interest amount
= $6,655,000.00.00.00 + $665,500.00 = $7,320,500.00
$7,320,500.00 x 0.02 = $146,410.00;
Solving for the Bonus interest = $14,6410 x 0.06 = $8784.60
Therefore, Total Bonus earnings for the Year 5 = $8784.60
Finally, the total equivalent annual worth in years 1 -5 through 5 0f the bonus package =
Year 1 = $6,000.00
Year 2 = + $6,600.00
Year 3 = + $7,260.00
Year 4 = + $7986.00
Year 5 = + $8784.60
$6,000.00 + $6,600.00 + $7,260.00 + $7986.00 + $8784.60
= $36,630.60
