Answer:

B. 10%

Explanation:

Given that

Tax rate = 40%

Net tax rate = 6%

Recall that

Gross interest = Net of tax rate / ( 1 - tax rate)

Therefore,

= 0.06 ÷ ( 1 - 0.40)

= 0.06 ÷ 0.60

= 0.1

= 10%

A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit. The unit contribution margin is $27. The compan
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The company should accept the idea because profit will increase by $24,000.

Explanation:

A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit.

The unit contribution margin is $27.

The company believes that spending $50,000 per month on advertising will allow them to increase the selling price to $45 and that sales will increase by 750 units per month.

The unit contribution margin is the difference between selling price and variable cost per unit.

An increase in the selling price of $5 will cause the contribution margin to increase by $5, from $27 to $32.

Profits is the product of contribution margin and number of output.

At initial price, the profit was

= 10,000\ \times\ \$ 27

= $270,000

At the new price the profit will be

= 10,750\ \times\ \$ 32  - $50,000

= $344,000 - $50,000

= $294,000

The increase in profit

= $294,000 - $270,000

= $24,000

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$6,000

Explanation:

A deductible is the amount Conor has to pay before his medical bills and prescriptions start getting coverage from his insurance.

Step 1: 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000

A co-pay is a fixed amount the insured has to pay for certain medical services.

Step 2: 20% of 8,000 or 0.20 times 8,000 = 1,600

Step 3: add $2,000 (the deductible you have to pay) and $1,600 (the co-pay)

Total amount that Conor will have to pay for the hospital: $3,600

On January 1, 2020, Sheffield Corp. issued ten-year bonds with a face amount of $4500000 and a stated interest rate of 8% payabl
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $3,704,040

Explanation:

The issue/ selling price of a bond is calculated by the formula:

= Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value

The coupon payments will be an annuity and in cash terms are:

= 8% * 4,500,000

= $360,000

Selling price:

= (360,000 * Present value of an ordinary annuity factor, 11%, 10 periods) + (4,500,000 * Present value discount factor, 11%, 10 periods)

= (360,000 * 5.889) + (4,500,000 * 0.352)

= $3,704,040

Indiana Co. began a construction project in 2021 with a contract price of $163 million to be received when the project is comple
iragen [17]

Answer: Recognized $12.68 million gross profit on the project in 2022

Explanation:

Firstly we would need to ascertain the percentage of completion in 2022. We will do this by using the costs.

The cost incurred till date is,

= $32 million (incurred in 2021) + $59 million (incurred in 2022)

= $91 million. (1)

A further $37 million is estimated to remain in costs by project completion so the total cost would be,

= $91 million + 37 million

= $128 million is the total cost to be incurred. (2)

Dividing (1) by (2) to find out how much costs have been incurred vs how much is life we have,

= 91 / 128

= 0.7109

= 71 %

71 % of the project has been completed.

We will now find out the revenue for that very year using the percentage of the project completed.

The Total Revenue is $163 million so we will take 71% of that,

= 0.71(163)

= $115.73 million can be recognized as revenue TILL DATE. (3)

To find out the Revenue for the year then we can deduct the revenue of the previous year from the Revenue till date to find out the revenue for 2022.

But first we need to find the revenue of 2021 using the same method we used to calculate the Revenue this far

= 32 million / (32 + 86 million) * 163 million

= $44.01 million in revenue in 2021 (4)

Subtracting (4) from (3) to get the revenue for 2022 we have,

= 115.73 - 44.01

= $71.72 million is therefore the revenue for the year 2022

Calculating the gross profit for the year 2022 then we can subtract the cost in 2022 from the revenue for 2022.

= 71.72 million - 59 million

= $12.72 million

The answer we got is off by $0.04 from option C so we will pick Option C as the correct answer with the discrepancy going down to rounding off errors in the Intermediate Calculation.

A radiology clinic is considering buying a new $700,000 x-ray machine, which will have no salvage value after installation becau
meriva

Answer: c. Ten years, because maintenance costs don't increase.

Explanation:

With the maintenance costs constant at $24,000 a year, the machine is still expected to go 10 years before it's x-ray source is depleted and it has to be scrapped.

This means that the useful life is therefore 10 years because the maintenance cost will not increase but will still keep the machine going for 10 years.
