their child's college education. They decide to make deposits into an educational savings account on each of their daughter's birthdays, starting with her first birthday. Assume that the educational savings account will return a constant 7%. The parents deposit $2000 on their daughter's first birthday and plan to increase the size of their deposits by 5% each year. Assuming that the parents have already made the deposit for their daughter's 18th birthday, then the amount available for the daughter's college expenses on her 18th birthday is closest to:A) $42,825B) $97,331C) $67,998D) $103,063

Answer:

$97,331.30

Explanation:

To calculate the amount available on the daughter's 18th birthday the following should be taken into cognisance

First, the yearly deposit increases by 5% every year, therefore year one is $2,000 but year 2 is $2,000 x1.05= $2,100 and continuing like that.

Secondly, the total deposit pre year is calculated as annual deposit for the year (1+interest rate)∧year on a descending basis.

It is therefore as follows;

Years Annual deposit Total value of deposit including interest

1 $2,000.00 $2,000(1+0.07)∧17= $6,317.63

2 $2,100.00 $2,100(1+0.07)∧16= $6,199.54

3 $2,205.00 $2,205(1+0.07)∧15=$6,083.66

4 $2,315.25 $2,315.25(1+0.07)∧14=$5,969.95

5 $2,431.01 $2,431.01(1+0.07)∧13=$5,858.36

6 $2,552.56 $2,552.56(1+0.07)∧12=$5,748.86

7 $2,680.19 $2,680.19(1+0.07)∧11=$5,641.41

8 $2,814.20 $2,814.20(1+0.07)∧10=$5,535.96

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

30.8

Explanation:

The solution of factor-rating score for Ling Services is provided below:-

Factor-rating score = (Weight for Factor A × Rating for Factor A) + (Weight for Factor B × Rating for Factor B) + (Weight for Factor C × Rating for Factor C)

= (0.50 × 30) + (0.20 × 46) + (0.30 × 22)

= 15 + 9.2 + 6.6

= 30.8

So, we have calculated the factor-rating score for Ling Services by using the above formula.

Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.04 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.1

Reil [10]

Answer:

value of the bond = $2,033.33

Explanation:

We know,

Value of the bond, $B_{0} = [I * \frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-n}}{i}] + \frac{FV}{(1 + i)^n}$

Here,

Face value of par value, FV = $2,000

Coupon payment, I = Face value or Par value × coupon rate

Coupon payment, I = $2,000 × 6.04%

Coupon payment, I = $128

yield to maturity, i = 6.1% = 0.061

number of years, n = 15

Therefore, putting the value in the formula, we can get,

$B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1 + 0.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1 + 0.061)^7}]$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1.061)^7}]$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * \frac{0.3393}{0.061}] + 1,321.3635$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * 5.5623] + 1,321.3635$

or, $B_{0} =$ $711.9738 + 1,321.3635

Therefore, value of the bond = $2,033.33

Bobby Company has fixed costs of $160,000. The unit selling price, variable cost per unit, and contribution margin per unit for

V125BC [204]

Answer:

1,500 units; 1,000 units

Explanation:

Break Even Point (in units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost = $160,000

Sales Mix = 60% of X + 40% of Y

= 0.6X + 0.4Y

So,

Contribution Margin of the Mix:

= (60% × contribution margin of X) + (40% × contribution margin of Y )

Contribution Margin of the Mix per unit:

= (60% × 80) + (40% × 40)

= 48 + 16

= $64

Break Even Point (in units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= 160,000 ÷ 64

= 2,500 unit

At the Level of break even :

Unit of X at break-even:

= 60% of 2,500

= 1,500 units

Unit of Y at break-even:

= 40% of 2,500

= 1,000 units

Tim babysits for three hours on the weekend. His current babysitting job pays him $7 an hour. He has a new babysitting job offer

weqwewe [10]

Before going to the cost and benefits, lets take a look first at the total of what Tim makes for the two jobs. In the first job, he is paid $7 per hour for 3 hours so that is $21 total for the first job. The second job offer is $10 per hour for two hours so that is $20 for the entire second job offer. If he is going to take the first job, he will have $1 more than the second job, however, he has to work an extra hour. However, if he takes the second job, he receives $1 less but has one hour more for himself. So if he were to take the second job, it will be more beneficial to him because he can get almost the same amount but doesn't need to work as hard
