Answer:

Hersey's bond = $1125.513

Mars bond = $1172.259

Explanation:

Hersey bond;

Period(t) = 10years = 40(quartely)

Coupon (C) = $30

Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)

Pay at maturity(p) = $1000

Using the both present value (PV) and compound interest formula ;

PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]

PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-40)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^40]

PV =( 753.083251562) + (372.4306236)

PV = $1125.513

Mars bond;

Period(t) = 20years = 80(quartely)

Coupon (C) = $30

Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)

Pay at maturity(p) = $1000

PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]

PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-80)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^80]

PV =(1033.55451663) + (138.704569467)

PV = $1172.259

Michael's Machine Shop reports the following information for the quarter.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. $26

b. $23

c. $34

d. $29

e. $21

f.  $11

g. $14

h. $11

Explanation:

a. Variable cost per unit.

Variable cost per unit = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Variable Non - Manufacturing Costs

                                    = $12 + $9 + $2 + $3

                                    = $26

b. Variable production cost per unit.

Variable production cost per unit = Variable Manufacturing Cost

                                                       = $12 + $9 + $2

                                                       = $23

c. Full cost per unit.

Full cost per unit = Manufacturing and Non - Manufacturing (Variable and Fixed)

                            = $12 + $9 + $2 + $3 + $47,500/23,750 units + $142,500/23,750 units

                            = $12 + $9 + $2 + $3 + $2 + $6

                            = $34

d. Full absorption cost per unit.

Full absorption cost per unit = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Manufacturing Costs

                                                = $12 + $9 + $2 + $6

                                                = $29

e. Prime cost per unit.

Prime cost per unit = Direct Manufacturing Costs'

                                = $12 + $ 9

                                = $ 21

f. Conversion cost per unit.

Conversion cost per unit = Direct Labor Costs + Overheads Costs

                                         = $9 + $2

                                         = $11

g. Contribution margin per unit.

Contribution margin per unit = Sales - Variable Costs

                                                = $ 40 - $26

                                                = $ 14

h. Gross margin per unit.

Gross margin per unit = Sales - Full absorption cost per unit

                                     = $40 - $29

                                     = $11

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$96,154.20

Explanation:

We are to find the future value of the annuity

The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)

B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1  

A = Amount

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

[(1.08)^9 - 1 ] / 0.08 = 12.487558

12.487558 x $7,700 = $96,154.20

A liability created when a business collects cash from customers in advance of providing services or delivering goods is called?
Bumek [7]
<span> <span>The liability created by receiving cash before providing the service or delivering the goods in question is called unearned revenue. In this case, the entity providing the goods/services records this transaction as revenue that has been generated but in real sense, the seller remains with the liability until after the actual delivery of the goods/services. The purpose of this practice can be advantageous to the seller in certain situations such as easing the burden of paying interest on debts.</span></span>

Suppose Raphael and Susan are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matri
erica [24]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Dominant Strategy in a game is the strategy that a player will choose that will provide them with the highest payoff regardless of what the other player does.

In the above, the dominant strategy will be for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT.

By choosing left Raphael makes a payoff of 4 if Susan picks Left as well and a Payoff of 6 if Sudan picks Right. This is better than him picking Right and he will get a Payoff of 3 if Susan chooses Right as well.

The Nash Equilibrium is the strategy where both are making the best that they can given the strategy of the other player and deviating from it will give them less pay out.

The dominant strategy therefore is for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT and for SUSAN to choose RIGHT.

This is because Raphael will pick Left as it maximises their payoff and Susan will then pick a strategy that gives her the highest payoff based on Raphael's decision which is to go RIGHT.
