Answer:

Target variable costs/ unit /year = $17.37

Explanation:

We reverse work this to get to target variable costs,

First lets summarize the data,

Production = 601,000 units

Price = $30

Variable cost = $19

Fixed Costs= $5,400,000

Desired operating income @ 16% = (0.16*13,700,000) = $2,192,000

We reverse work this as,

Sales (601,000*30)                          18,030,000

Less Variable costs(GP - Sales)       10,438,000

Gross Profit (FC + Profit)                   7,592,000

Less Fixed Costs                               5,400,000

Profit                                                    2,192,000

Variable costs/ unit /year = 10,438,000 / 601,000 = $17.37/unit

Hope that helps.

A 27-year U.S. Treasury bond with a face value of $1,000 pays a coupon of 6.00% (3.000% of face value every six months). The rep
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

(A) $1,055.35  (B) $2,180.53  (C) $780.07  (D) $412.08.

Explanation:

The tenor of the bond is 27 years i.e. (27 * 2=) 54 periods of 6 months each (n).

Face Value (F) = $1,000

Coupon (C) = 6% annually = 3% semi annually = (3% * 1000 face value) = $30.

The Present Value (PV) of the Bond is computed as follows.

PV of recurring coupon payments + PV of face value at maturity

= \frac{C(1-(1+r)^{-n}) }{r} + \frac{F}{(1+r)^{n}}

A) Yield = 5.6% annually = 2.8% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.028)^{-54}) }{0.028} + \frac{1,000}{(1.028)^{54}}

= 830.25 + 225.10

= $1,055.35.

B) Yield = 1% annually = 0.5% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.005)^{-54}) }{0.005} + \frac{1,000}{(1.005)^{54}}

= 1,416.64 + 763.89

= $2,180.53.

C) Yield = 8% annually = 4% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.04)^{-54}) }{0.04} + \frac{1,000}{(1.04)^{54}}

= 659.79 + 120.28

= $780.07.

D) Yield = 15% annually = 7.5% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.075)^{-54}) }{0.075} + \frac{1,000}{(1.075)^{54}}

= 391.95 + 20.13

= $412.08.
