Controllable margin= contribution margin - fixed costs

On January 1, 1997, an investment account is worth 100,000. On April 1, 1997, the value has increased to 103,000 and 8,000 is wi

loris [4]

Answer:

(B) 6.25%

Explanation:

January 1, 1997 = $100,000

April 1. 1997 = $103,000 - $8,000 = $95,000

January 1, 1999 = $103,992

annual interest rate for 1997 = i = (x - 100,000 + 8,000) / [100,000 - 8,000(1 - ³/₁₂) = (x - 100,000 + 8,000) / [100,000 - 8,000(1 - 0.25) = (x - 92,000) / 94,000

x = 92,000 + 94,000i

annual interest rate for 1998 = 1 + i = 103,992/x

x = 103,992/(1 + i)

0 = x(1 + i) - 103,992

now we replace x by 92,000 + 94,000i

0 = (92,000 + 94,000i)(1 + i) - 103,992

0 = (94,000 (1 + i) - 2,000)(1 + i) - 103,992

we now replace 1 + i by Y

0 = (94,000Y - 2,000)Y - 103,992

0 = 94,000Y² - 2,000Y - 103,992

using a calculator, Y = 6.25%
