Steve and Ed are cousins who both turned 25 today. Their grandfather began putting $2,500 per year into a trust fund for Steve o

n his 20th birthday, and he just made a 6th payment into the fund. The grandfather will make 40 more $2,500 payments until a 46th and final payment is made on Steve's 65th birthday. Until now, the grandfather has been disappointed with Ed, hence has not given him anything. However, they recently reconciled, and the grandfather decided to make an equivalent provision for Ed. He will make the first payment to a trust for Ed today, and he has instructed his trustee to make 40 additional equal annual payments until Ed turns 65, when the 41st and final payment will be made. If both trusts earn an annual return of 8%, how much must the grandfather put into Ed's trust today and each subsequent year to enable him to have the same retirement nest egg as Steve after the last payment is made on their 65th birthday?

Answer:

Answer A is correct

Explanation:

Step 1 find how much Steve will have when he retires:

financial calculator steps

press g 7 (to set the calculator to assume payments are made at the beginning of the period)

8 i (interest earned)

46 n (periods remaining)

-2500 pmt (payment made into the account each period)

0 PV (starting balance of account)

solve for FV

FV = $1,129,750.38

We can now use this value to solve backwards

8 i

41 n (only 41 more payments here)

0 PV (starting balance)

1,129,750.38 FV (ending value)

solve for pmt

pmt = 3,725.55 ~ 3,726 so answer A

Ramsey Corporation desires to earn target net income of $90,000. If the selling price per unit is $30, unit variable cost is $24
Stels [109]

Answer:

b. 75,000 units

Explanation:

Fixed cost = $360,000

Target net income = $90,000

Selling price per unit = $30

Unit variable cost = $24

The computation of net income is shown below :-

= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $30 - $24

= $6

So, the net income is

= ($360,000 + $90,000) ÷ ($6)

= ($450,000) ÷ ($6)

= 75,000 units
