ent APR, has a 30-day grace period, and sends out bills on the first of the month. On further investigation, you find that store A calculates the finance charge by using the average daily balance method, store B uses the adjusted balance method, and store C uses the previous balance method. Assume you purchased the MP3 player on May 5 and made a $100 payment on June 15.

Answer:

a. $5

b. $4

c. $6

Explanation:

a. store A?

Beginning balance = $300

Ending balance = $300 - $100 = $200

Average balance = ($300 + $200) ÷ 2 = $250

Monthly APR = 24% ÷ 12 = 2%

June finance charge = Average balance × Monthly APR = $250 × 2% = $5

b. store B

June finance charge = (Beginning balance - Payments) × Monthly APR = ($300 - $100) × 2% = $4

c. store C?

June finance charge = Beginning balance × Monthly APR = $300 × 2% = $6

Answer:

$1,068.02

Explanation:

For computing the selling price of the bond we need to use the Future value formula or function i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%

NPER = 3 years × 2 = 6 years

PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40

The formula is shown below:

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

The present value comes in negative

So, after applying the above formula, the selling price of the bond is $1,068.02

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": geographic characteristics.

Explanation:

Market segmentation refers to the classification companies make of their consumers based on different features such as age, gender, or income for instance so that firms can decide in which of those sectors they are likely to have more success based on the know-how and resources it counts on. As well, companies consider the sector that provides more opportunities so the likelihood of generating more revenue increases.

Therefore, <em>Universal Concerts must focus on geographic characteristics at the moment of choosing what type of concerts they will handle if there is a need to set one type of them only.</em>

Lakers Company produces two products. The following information is available: Product X Product Y Selling price per unit $46 $36
never [62]

Answer:

A) Contribution margin : Product X: $8; Product Y: $12

B)The expected net income: $18,000

C) Break-even point in units for each product is Product X 19,500 units, Product Y 6,500 units.

D) Break-even point in units for each product is Product X 14,625 units, Product Y 9,750 units.

Explanation:

A) Contribution margin for each product:

Product X = Selling price of X - Variable cost of X = 46 - 38 = $8

Product Y = Selling price of Y - Variable cost of Y = 36 - 24 = $12

B) The expected net income:

Expected net income = Contribution margin of product X x Units of Product X sold + Contribution margin of product Y x Units of Product Y sold  - Fixed cost = 8 x 21,000 + 12 x 7,000 - 234,000 = $18,000

C) The break-even point in units for each product assuming the sales mix is 3 units of Product X for every 1 unit of Product Y:

Denote a is the number of Y BEP (in units) => 3a is the number of X in BEP (in units)

We have 3a x 8 + a x 12 = 234,000 <=> 36a = 234,000 <=> a = $6,500 <=> 3a = 19,500

Thus,  break-even point in units for each product is Product X 19,500 units, Product Y 6,500 units.

D) The break-even point in units for each product assuming the sales mix is 3 units of Product X for every 2 units of Product Y:

Denote b is the number of Y BEP (in units) => 3b/2 is the number of X in BEP (in units)

We have 3b/2 x 8 + b x 12 = 234,000 <=> 24b = 234,000 <=> b = $9,750 <=> 3b/2 = 14,625

Thus,  break-even point in units for each product is Product X 14,625 units, Product Y 9,750 units.
