Answer:

A 10-year, $1,000 face value, zero coupon bond.

Explanation:

Zero coupon bonds are sold at a deep discount, and do not pay coupons, only pay the full par value price at maturity.

Zero coupon bonds are riskier than other types of bonds because they are subject to interest tax risk: this means that even if the bond does not pay coupons, the IRS still computes an imputed interest that the bond would have received, and charges an income tax over it.

If the bondholder of a zero coupon sells the bond before maturity, the risk of having paid more in both income taxes on imputed intersest, plus the initial price of the bond itself, than the gain from the sale, is very high.

A company has only two divisions: division a and division
Sloan [31]

Answer – Division A

 

EXPLANATION’

 

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

 

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

 

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

 

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

 

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.

15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Variable production costs = $2,862,000      106

Variable expenses                     378,000         14

Total variable costs              $3,240,000    $120

Contribution =                       $1,080,000      $40

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000

Donna, who is single and 30 years old, received several speeding tickets recently and was shocked by the effect they had on her
Serhud [2]

Answer:

C) raise her deductible from $250 to $1,000

Explanation:

If Donna starts to drop all her coverages, then she will not only pay less, she wouldn't any insurance to cover her.

If she really needs to lower her insurance costs, the best way to do it is to raise her deductible. That way she will still be covered, but she will need to put more money in case of an accident. To be honest, generally car accidents cost thousands, and increasing the deductible from by $750 is not really that much compared to what an insurance policy covers.

The deductible is the amount of the insurance claim that must be paid by the insured, the rest is paid by the insurance company.
