Answer:

a. $960,000

b. $1,600,000

c. $1,460,000

Explanation:

a. Break even point in sales dollar with a contribution margin ratio of 50%

= Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

Given that

Fixed cost = $480,000

Contribution margin ratio = 50%

Break even point in sales dollar = $480,000 / 50%

= $960,000

b. Break even point in sales dollar with a Contribution margin ratio of 30%

= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio

Given that

Fixed costs = $480,000

Contribution margin ratio = 30%

Break even point in sales dollar

= $480,000 / 30%

= $1,600,000

c. Sales dollar required to generate a profit of $250,000 with Contribution margin ratio of 50%

= (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin ratio

= ($480,000 + $250,000) / 50%

= $730,000 / 50%

= $1,460,000

I guess the correct answer is price discrimination, Robinson-Patman Act

As a result of Hurricane Charley, the Green Mountain Lumber Co. decides to charge all Home Depots in Florida $25 per sheet of plywood while all Home Depots outside of Florida pay only $10 per sheet of plywood. The Green Mountain Lumber Co. can be charged with price discrimination, which is illegal under the Robinson-Patman Act.

Price discrimination is the act of charging different consumers different prices for the same product.

The Robinson-Patman Act (1936) makes it unlawful to practice price discrimination, where the effect may substantially lessen competition or help to create a monopoly

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 10.4 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 ye

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Ans,

a) If interest rates suddenly rise by 3 percent, Bill´s bond would drop by -20.02% and Ted´s bond would go down by -36.07%

.

b) If rates were to suddenly fall by 3 percent, Bill´s bond would rise by 26.79%

and Ted´s bond would rise too by 86.47%

.

Explanation:

Hi, first let´s go ahead and establish the stable scenario, for that we are going to use the information of the problem but we need to add the discount rate of the bond or yield, which is the missing information. All this so this concept can be explained in a better way, so for this example we´ll say that the yield of both bonds is 10% compounded semi-annually, the same units as the coupon. Now we have to use the following formula.

$Price=\frac{Coupon((1+Yield)^{n}-1) }{Yield(1+Yield)^{n} } +\frac{FaceValue}{(1+Yield)^{n} }$

Where:

Coupon = (%Coupon/2)*FaceValue= (0.104/2)*1,000=52

Yield = we are going to assume 10% annual, that is 5% semi-annual

n = Payment periods (For Bill n=5*2=10, for Ted, n=22*2=44)

So, let´s see what is the price of each bond if the yield was 10% annual compounded semi-annually.

$Price(Bill)=\frac{52((1+0.05)^{10}-1) }{0.05(1+0.05)^{10} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.05)^{10} } =1,015.44$

In Ted´s case, that is:

$Price(Ted)=\frac{52((1+0.05)^{44}-1) }{0.05(1+0.05)^{44} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.05)^{44} } = 1,035.33$

Now, if the interest rate (Yield) suddenly goes up by 3%, this is what happens to Bill´s Bond

$Price(Bill)=\frac{52((1+0.08)^{10}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{10} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.08)^{10} } = 812.12$

If yield goes down by 3%, this is the new price of Bill´s bond.

Price(Bill)=\frac{52((1+0.02)^{10}-1) }{0.02(1+0.02)^{10} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.02)^{10} } = 1,287.44

Now, in the case of Ted, this is what happens to the price if the yield goes up.

$Price(Ted)=\frac{52((1+0.08)^{44}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{44} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.08)^{44} } = 661.84$

If it goes down by 3%, this would be the price for Ted´s bond.

$Price(Ted)=\frac{52((1+0.02)^{44}-1) }{0.02(1+0.02)^{44} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.02)^{44} } = 1,930.56$

Now, in percentage, what we need to use is the following formula.

$Change=\frac{(VariationValue-BaseValue)}{BaseValue} x100$

For example, in the case of Bill´s bond, which yield went up by 3%, this is what we should do.

$Change=\frac{(812.12-1,015.44)}{1,015.44} x100=-20.02Percent$

So, the price variation is -20.02% if the yield rises by 3%.

This are the results of the prices and calculations for you to answer this question. Best of luck.

Bill Ted % (Bill) %(Ted)

Base Price $1,015.44 $1,035.33

(+) 3% Yield $812.12 $661.84 -20.02% -36.07%

(-) 3% Yield $1,287.44 $1,930.56 26.79% 86.47%

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

taxable amount = $10,000

Explanation:

given data

2 year ago fair market value = $30,000

fair market value = $40,000

sold the stock = $50,000

solution

we get here taxable amount when ESOP sold

so taxable amount = Selling price - fair market value on distribution date ...........1

put here value

taxable amount = $50000 - $40000

taxable amount = $10,000 long term capital gain
