Answer:

$30,174.74

Explanation:

The computation of present value is shown below:-

Future value = Present value × (1 + Rate of interest ÷ 1200)^12 × time period

$43,011 = Present value × (1 + 7.11 ÷ (12 × 100)^(12 × 5)

$43,011 = Present value × (1 + 7.11 ÷ 1,200)^60

$43,011 = Present value × (1 + 0.005925 )^60

Present value = $43,011 ÷ (1 + 0.005925 )^60

= $43,011 ÷ (1.005925 )^60

= $43,011 ÷ 1.425397857

= $30,174.73317

or

= $30,174.74

Therefore for computing the present value we simply applied the above formula.

We also attached the spreadsheet for better understanding

In compounded monthly, the interest rate is divided by 12 months and the time period is multiplied by 12 months and the same is to be considered

<span>By renting a home instead of purchasing one, you are paying someone else's mortgage every month and getting nothing in return. While you are gaining a home to live in for the short term, in the long term you will gain nothing. When you purchase a home you will have a home that you own and that you cannot be evicted from as long as you pay your mortgage.</span>

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Company must make sales of $600,000.

Explanation:

Compute the contribution margin of the company:

Contribution margin=Pre−Tax Income+Fixed Cost

=$60,000+$270,000

=$330,000

Thus, the contribution margin is $330,000. It is computed by summing up the fixed cost and the pre-tax income of the company.

Compute the total sales of the company:

Contribution margin ratio=  Contribution margin  / Sales  

55%=  $330,000/ Sales

Sales=  $55%  / $330,000 ​  

=$600,000    

The sales of the company are $600,000.
