PortaCom manufactures notebook computers and related equipment. PortaCom's product design group developed a prototype for a new

high-quality portable printer. The new printer features an innovative design and has the potential to capture a significant share of the portable printer market. Preliminary marketing and financial analyses provided the following selling price, first-year administrative cost, and first-year advertising cost:
Selling Price $284 per unit
Administrative Cost $500,000
Advertising Cost $700,000
In the simulation model for the PortaCom problem, the preceding values are constants and are referred to as parameters of the model.
(a) An engineer on the product development team believes that first-year sales for the new printer will be 18,500 units. Using estimates of $50 per unit for the direct labor cost and $88 per unit for the parts cost, what is the first-year profit using the engineer's sales estimate?
(b) The financial analyst on the product development team is more conservative, indicating that parts cost may well be $101 per unit. In addition, the analyst suggests that a sales volume of 9,500 units is more realistic. Using the most likely value of $50 per unit for the direct labor cost, what is the first-year profit using the financial analyst's estimates?

Advertising Cost $700,000

(a) Units= 18,500

Direct labor= $50

Direct material= $88

Sales= 18,500*284= 5,254,000

Variable costs= (50 + 88)*18,500= (2,553,000)

Contribution margin= 2,701,000

Administrative Cost= (500,000)

Advertising Cost= (700,000)

Net operating income= 1,501,000

B)Units= 9,500

Direct labor= $51

Direct material= $101

Sales= 9,500*284= 2,698,000

Variable costs= (51 + 101)*9,500= (1,444,000)

Contribution margin= 1,254,000

Administrative Cost= (500,000)

Advertising Cost= (700,000)

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A.rose making the interest rate fall

Explanation:

According to the liquidity preference theory developed by John Keynes, if the money supply rises, price level also rises, interest rate falls. If interest rate falls, the price of bond rises which would increase capital gains. People would prefer to hold bonds instead of money, therefore, investment spending would rise.

The liquidity preference theory states that we hold money for transactive, speculative and precautionary motives.

If Norman invested $100,000 for 3 years at 12%, how much interest on interest will he earn? (Do not round intermediate calculati
Scrat [10]

Answer:

$224.64

Explanation:

Norman invested $100,000, Interest rate 12%, Period 3 years

In compound account, the interest earned by the end of the year qualifies to earn interest. At the end of the period, the interest is added to the principal and earns interest as well.

The interest that Norman earned in the first year was added to the principal amount in the second year, meaning that interest earned some interest in the second and their year of investment. The same happened to the interest earned in the second year.

To calculate the interest earned by the interest, we take the amount after three years, minus the principal amount, minus the simple interest for the three years.

Interest on interest will be the Future value- principal amount- Simple interest.

The amount after three is the compounded value after three years.

compound amount formula FV=  PV × (1+r)n

Future value  of $100,00 @ 12% after 3 years will be

=5000 x (1+12/100) 3

=5000 x (1+0.12)3

=5000 X (1.12)3

=5000 x 1.404928

=7,024.64

The simple interest earned in the three years equal

Interest = principal x rate x duration

12/100 x 5000 x 3

=0.12 x 5000 x 3

=600 x 3

=$1800

Interest on interest will be :

=$7,024.64 - $5,000- $1,800

=$224.64
