<span>Credit card has slightly lower interest rate. Let's take a look at both interest rates for 1 year and see what costs more. First, the credit card at 17% apr compounded monthly. Each month, 17%/12 interest will be taken. The total interest over the year will be (1 + 0.17/12)^12 = 1.183891728 times the original debt. Now let's look at the loan from the parents. Over 1 year, you'll be accumulating 2 interest payments. The formula for the year will be (1 + 0.09)^2 = 1.1881 Comparing the overall rate between the credit card and the parents, the credit card is slightly lower than the parents.</span>

Anettt [7]

Answer:

1. The expected post-retirement benefit obligation at the end of 2021 is $196,000, the present value of total net costs of providing health care benefits.

2. Calculation of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at the end of 2021 is as below:

APBO = EPBO * Full eligibility period / Attribution period

APBO = $196,000 * 2 / (2+28)

APBO = $196,000 * 2/30

APBO = $13066.66666666667

APBO = $13,066.67

Thus, accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at the end of 2021 is $13,066.67.

You bought one of Lambert Sandblasting Company's 15-year bonds one year ago for $960. These bonds pay 7 percent annually, have a
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Real return on investment: 22.9465%

Explanation:

Okay let's explain each concept we have given:

<em>Face Value</em>                                         $1,000

This is the ammount Lambert will pay at maturity

Purchase Value                                   $  960

This is the Ammount we pay for the bond

<em>Market Value of the bond today         $   ???</em>

This is what we need to determinate to see the return we got

Once we got the market Value we will do:

Market Value / Purchase Value   - 1 = rate of return

Now the <em>market value today will be the present value of the bond,</em> and the bond has the following data:

  • Mature in 14 year
  • bond rate 7% annualy.

So each year we receive the 7% of the face value ($1,000) = $70

And at the end of the bond life we receive 1,000

We need to bring this numbers at present day using the real market rate, because the economy is having inflation:

market rate  8%

inflation rate 2.7%

real rate:  

(1+rate)/(1+inflation) -1 = real rate

\frac{1.08}{1.027} -1 = real rate

real rate = 5.16%

To know the present value of the bond we will have to consider:

  • present value of an annuity of 70$ during 14 year at a rate of 5.16% =
  • present value of the 1,000 that will be pay at maturity at a rate of 5.16%

<em>The annuity will be </em>

70 * \frac{1-(1+0.0516)^-14}{0.0516} = 685.87

C * \frac{1-(1+rate)^-time}{rate} = present value

$685,87

<em>The present value of the 1,000 will be</em>  

face value/(1+rate)^time

1,000/(1+0.0516)^14 = $494,42

for a total of $1.180,29

Now we will calculate the real return on the investment:

we receive 1.180,29 for 960 so the rate is

1.180,29 /960 - 1 = 0.229465 =  22.9465%

zmey [24]

Answer:

Answer 1.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat

Sale in Units 13500 4500 9000

Sale Mix 3 1 2

Sales Mix Ratio = 3:1:2

Answer 2.

Let the Break Even Sales = X Units

Therefore, Linear equation of BEP:

3/6 X (8-4) + 1/6 X (25-15) + 2/6 X (16-9) = 119520 (Fixed Costs)

X = 19920 Units

BEP of

DVD = 19,920 Units X 3/6 = 9960 Units

Equipment Set = 19,920 Units X 1/6 = 3320 Units

Yoga Mat = 19920 Units X 2/6 = 6640 Units

Answer 3.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat Total

Sale in Units 13,500 4,500 9,000 27,000

SP 8 25 16

Sales in $ 108,000 112,500 144,000 364,500

Less: Variable Costs 54,000 67,500 81,000 202,500

Contribution 54,000 45,000 63,000 162,000

Contribution Margin Ratio 50.00% 40.00% 43.75% 44.44%

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $119520 (Fixed Costs) / 44.44% (Contribution Margin Ratio)

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $268,920

Answer 4.

Margin of Safety = Sales - BES

Margin of Safety = $364,500 - 268920 = $95,580
