Answer:

The results a-c  are the same $3,039.79  

However, the rate of return is given different names in each of the scenario.

In the first scenario, it was named annual interest which implies rate of return on an investment.

Annual interest is the same as discount rate because discounting an amount means stating in today's terms,which also applies to the amount to be invested when the future cash flow repayable is known, the amount to be invested can be brought back to equivalent amount today by discounting.

Finally, opportunity cost means the interest rate forgone by choosing to invest in one security,which is also the desirable rate of return convincing enough for the investment to be made.

A rate of return can be tagged annual interest, opportunity cost or discount rate,they are synonymous.

Explanation:

a.

The $6000 is the future value, the unknown is present value.

PV=FV*(1+r)^-N

r is the rate of return of 12% while N is 6 years

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6

PV=$3,039.79

b.the requirement also is PV with FV of $6,000 with discount rate of 12%,that rate of return,with N being 6 years

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6  

PV=$ 3,039.79  

c,The most to be paid for $6,000 with an opportunity cost of $12% is given below;

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6

    =$3,039.79

Estrada Corporation produced 300,000 watches that it sold for $35 each. The company determined that fixed manufacturing cost per
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit = $12

The total variable cost = $3,600,000

The total contribution margin = $6,900,000

Explanation:

Number of units produced = 300,000

Selling cost = $35

Revenue = 300,000 × $35

               = $10,500,000

Fixed cost = $14 per unit

Total fixed cost = 300,000 × $14

                          = $4,200,000

Gross margin = $2,700,000

Gross margin is the difference between the Revenue earned and the total cost.

Total cost = $10,500,000 - $2,700,000

                 = $7,800,000

Total cost = Total Fixed cost + Total variable cost

Total variable cost = $7,800,000 - $4,200,000

                               = $3,600,000

Variable cost per unit is the ratio of the total variable cost to the number of units produced.

Variable cost per unit = $3,600,000/300000

                                    = $12

Total contribution margin is the difference between the total revenue and the total variable cost.

Total contribution margin = Total revenue - Total variable cost

                                           = $10,500,000 - $3,600,000

                                           = $6,900,000

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

8.8%

Explanation:

Given:

Excess return = 6% = 0.06

Return respond factor = 1.2

Expected higher percent = 1.5% = 0.015

Increase growth (stock price) = 1% = 0.01

Actual excess return = ?

Computation of actual excess return:

Actual excess return = Excess return + Increase growth (stock price) + [Expected higher percent × Return respond factor]

= 0.06 + 0.01 + [0.015 × 1.2]

= 0.07 + [0.018]

= 0.088

= 8.8%
