Answer:
The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is 0.84 or 84 %
Explanation:
Contribution Margin = Contribution ÷ Sales
Where,
<em>Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs</em>
where,
Sales :
Sales = $ 900,000
Number of Books Sold = $ 900,000 ÷ $50
= 18,000 books
Variable Costs Calculation :
Cost of goods sold $630,000
Variable selling expenses ($5 × 18,000 books) $90,000
Variable administrative expenses( 4% × $ 900,000) $36,000
Total Variable Costs $756,000
Therefore,
Contribution Margin = $756,000÷ $ 900,000
= 0.84 or 84 %

Answer:
The Price of Bond today = $997.07
Explanation:
Semi annual coupons = $1000 * 5% / 2
Semi annual coupons = $25
As 9 months is already over in the two year bond, the coupons are payable
3 months from now, 9 months from now and 15 months from now.
The present value of all these coupons and the principal should be equal to the price of the bond today. In case of continuous compounding, the formula for Present Value of any future Cash flow C is C*e^(-r*t).
Price of Bond = $25 * e^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*e^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*e(-0.062*15/12)
Using the value of e as 2.71828
Price of Bond = $25 * 2.71828^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*2.71828^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*2.71828(-0.062*15/12)
Price of Bond = $
25 * 2.71828 ^-0.015 + 25*2.71828^-0.04575 + 1025*2.71828^-0.0775
Price of Bond = $
25 * 1/2.71828^0.015 + 25*1/2.71828^0.04575 + 1025*1/2.71828^0.0775
Price of Bond = $997.07
Answer:
Option E, PURE DISCOUNT.
Explanation:
There are different types of loan, some are; principal only loan, interest only loan, amortized loan, compound loan, pure discount loan...
A pure discount loan is a loan in which the borrower receives money today and repays a single lump at some time in future. It is the simplest form of loan.
Practically, it means the borrower will not pay any interest over the years; instead the interest is earned when the loan is paid back at maturity.
For example, imagine you wanted to borrow $20,000 and pay back twelve months later. The interest and charges came to $2,000, you would receive $18,000 from the lender. But, you would still have to pay back the whole $20,000.
Therefore, since Cindy will be paying a lump sum equal to the cash amount she received today, it means that the lender already calculated the interest and other related charges and then discounted it from the face amount thereby making it equal at the point of repayment. The option that best suits the question is E, the type of loan PURE DISCOUNT.
