Answer:

b. 57.69

Explanation:

Calculation for what price that you will get a margin call

First step

200 shares *$25 per share=$10,000

Second step

Based on the information given we are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale.

Now let find the 50% margin

50% margin =50%*$10,000

50% margin=$5,000

Hence,

$10,000+$5,000=$15,000

Third step

Based on the information given we were told that the broker requires a 30% maintenance margin.

.30=($10,000-200p)/200p

60p=$15,000-200p

260p= $15,000

Hence

$15,000/260

Price= $57.69

Therefore the price that you will get a margin call will be $57.69

Alenkasestr [34]
<span>Before, during, and after a sale, a selling strategy must focus on meeting a customers needs.

It is important when you are trying to sell a product or service to someone, that they see the benefits themselves. As a sales person your job is to make sure the product you have is meeting the customers needs fully because if they don't see that, they won't make the purchase. As a customer, whenever I buy a product I run down a list of ways it will benefit me or why I need it.

Childress Company produces three products, K1, S5, and G9. Each product uses the same type of direct material. K1 uses 3.1 pound
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Contribution margin per pound

K1  - $16.90

S5 - $8.60

G9  - $10.40

Explanation:

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

The contribution margin per pound for each of the three products is the ratio of the contribution margin per unit of a product to the number of pounds required per unit of that product.

                                           K1                  S5                        G9

Selling price                      $147.39        $112.64                 $215.56

Variable costs                     $95.00       $92.00                 $149.00

Contribution margin            $52.39       $20.64                 $66.56

Pounds per unit                       3.1                2.4                       6.4

A company purchased a plant asset for $53,000. It has a salvage value of $3,000 and annual depreciation expense of $5,000. It ca
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The remaining useful life of the asset is = 10 - 3 = 7 years

Explanation:

The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset. The formula for depreciation expense under this method is,

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life of the asset

Plugging in the values for depreciation expense per year, cost and salvage value, we can calculate the total expected life of the asset.

5000 = (53000 - 3000) / estimated useful life of the asset

estimated useful life of the asset = 50000 / 5000

estimated useful life of the asset = 10 years

As the accumulated depreciation  balance is of 15000, the depreciation for 15000/5000 = 3years has been charged.

The remaining useful life of the asset is = 10 - 3 = 7 years
