Answer:

45,000 Chainsaws

75,000 Weed-trimmers

30,000 Lawnmowers

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Mix

We are going to multiply the contribution margin of the product, by their sales proportion. The we add the mix contribution of each product to get the contribution margin for the mix.

Lawnmowers 20 % $30 = 6

Weed-trimmers 50 % $20 = 10

Chainsaws 30 % $40 = 12

Total Mix Contribution 28

Next we calculate the BEP in units as usual

$\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}$

4,200,000/ 28 = 150,000 Mix units

Now we multiply the mix units by each product weight to get the sales for each product.

150,000 x 20% = 30,000 Lawnmowers

150,000 x 50% = 75,000 Weed-trimmers

150,000 x 30% = 45,000 Chainsaws

Answer:

C) $16,000.

Explanation:

cash paid for insurance premiums = total insurance expense + ending balance of prepaid insurance - beginning balance of prepaid insurance

cash paid for insurance premiums = $15,200 + $3,000 - $2,200 = $16,000

Generally when you purchase an insurance policy you can either pay every month or pay for several months in advance and get a discount. When you pay for several months in advance, you must debit prepaid insurance. Then as time passes, you must accrue insurance expense. For e.g. you pay $2,400 today for a 1 year insurance premium, and at the end of the month you will accrue $200 of insurance expense. But your cash payment was made today.

The yield to maturity on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates do not change. If you actuall

koban [17]

Answer:

The answer is 12.83%.

Explanation:

We have the below calculations:

- Coupon payment = 1,000 x 9% = $90;

- Purchasing price = $1,000;

- Price sold after 3 years is equal to the present value of 9 annual coupon payments plus face value repayment after 9 years, discounted at YTM at the time of sell at 7%;

=> Price after 3 year = (90/0.07) x ( 1- 1.07^-9) + 1,000/1.07^9 = $1,130.3;

The holding period yield (HPY) is the discount rate that equalizes cash flow from 3 years of holding the bond to its original purchased price:

1,000 = (90/HPY) x [1 - (1+HPY)^-3] + 1,130.3/ (1+HPY)^3 <=> HPY = 12.83%.
