We are given the following data for publishing an electronic textbook about spreadsheet applications for business.

Fixed cost  = $160,000
Variable cost = $6 per book
Selling price = $46 per book

First, we have to establish an equation to know the profit or loss of the company.

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable Cost (number of books)
Total sales = Selling price (number of books)

The profit is calculated by subtracting the total cost from the total sales.

Profit = Total sales - total cost

The following equations are useful:

let x = number of books produced
      y = number of books sold

Total cost = $160,000 + $6x
Total sales = $46y

The value of x can be changed according to the actual number of books produced. y can be changed according to the actual number of books sold

Profit = $46y - ($160,000 + $6x)

If x = y = 3500

Profit = $22,000 for 3500 books

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$58,002.60

Explanation:

First, it is clear to include the $21,000 as part of the value of the equipment.

Now, the $9,000 annual payment after every year for six years need to be presented in its present value, meaning what is the value of those future amounts of $9,000 on June 30, 2018.

To calculate the present value of annuity (annuity means constant and equal payments) for those 6 payments of $9,000, we would need the Present Value Factor which is supplied from the Present Value Table.

Looking at 12% for 6 periods ("six annual installments") on the table, it gives the PV factor of 4.1114.

Just multiply $9,000 by 4.1114 and we get 37,002.60

Finally add the downpayment of $21,000 with the present value $37,002.60 and we would get the total value of the equipment of 58,002.60

2. The Jasmine Tea Company purchased merchandise from a supplier for $43,338. Payment was a noninterest-bearing note requiring J
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

3%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Purchased merchandise = $43,338

Number of payments required = 6

Payment per period = $8,000

PV factor (PVIFA) = (purchased merchandise / payment per period)

PVIFA = (43,338 / 8000) = 5.41725

Using the PVIFA table, we locate the interest rate on PVIFA factor of 5.41725 for a period of 6 years.

For PVIFA of 5.4172, the interest rate is 3%

Hence the implicit Interest t rate = 3%

PVIFA = [1 - (1+r)^-n] ÷ r
