Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% a

Sonja [21]

Answer:

D) CM per unit: Increases

CM ratio: No change

BE in units: Decreases

Explanation:

Let us suppose that

In the first case

The selling price per unit is $100

And, the variable cost per unit is $50

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $100 - $50

= $50

The CM ratio is

= $50 ÷ $100

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $50

= 2,000 units

Now if the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10%

So,

The selling price per unit is $100 × 1.10 = $110

And, the variable cost per unit is $50 × 1.10 = $55

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $110 - $55

= $55

The CM ratio is

= $55 ÷ $110

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $55

= 1,818 units

Hence, the last option is correct

A corporate bond currently yields 8.5%. Municipal bonds with the same risk, maturity, and liquidity currently yield 5.5%. At wha

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: 35.29%

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds are attractive in that they give the tax benefit of being tax exempt whereas a corporate bond is liable for taxation. The tax rate that will therefore make an investor indifferent between the two bonds is the one that will equate the Corporate bond's yield net of tax to the yield on the Municipal bond.

5.5% = 8.5% * ( 1 - x)

5.5% = 8.5% - 0.085x

0.085x = 8.5% - 5.5%

0.085x = 3%

x = 35.29%

Union Local School District has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 2.8 percent paid semiannually and 16 years to maturity.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

$4,420.35

Explanation:

Bond Price = $C x [1 - (1 + r)^{-n} / r] + F / (1 + r)^{n}$

Where:

C = Coupon
r = Yield to Maturity
n = compounding periods to maturity

Now we plug the amounts into the formula =

$Bond Price = $140 x [1 - (1 + 0.034)^{-32} / 0.034] + $5,000 / (1 + 0.034)^{32}$

$Bond Price = $4,420.35$

Under the situation where the active prices for the shares are not acquired by the acquirer states a different value, it is not appropriate to assume the value of the non-controlling shares same as of the controlling shares.
