Let x represent the number of packages Charlie needs to sell to make a monthly income of $5, 000 
Since he sells cookies only in packages of 10 then he has to sell 10x to make that income. But Charlie has expenses that has to be deducted from his total sales to make that figure.  
So the total expenses is $1, 500 in overhead and an extra $3.50 per material per package. So the total expenses = 1500 + 3.50x 
If he has to make $5, 000 at the end of the month we have
 10x - (1500 + 3.50x) = 5000
 10x - 1500 - 3.50x = 5000
 6.50x = 5000 + 1500 = 6500
 Solving we find:
 x = 1, 000 packages

andre [41]

Answer:

8.63%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return on the bond can be determined using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its end date before making the following inputs:

N=17(number of annual coupons in 17 years)

PMT=100(annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*10%=$100)

PV=-1120(the current price is $1,120)

FV=1000(the face value of the bon is $1000)

CPT

I/Y=8.63%

EXCEL APPROACH:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper=N=17

=rate(17,100,-1120,1000)

rate=8.63%

Depreciation expense  = $20,000      Movement in Account      Depreciated account: -       $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000 - $60,000

Gain on sale of investment       $(10,000)

Loss on sale of kit    =  $2,000

Increase in deferred taxes  =   $8,000

Increase in assets   $(40,000 )  An increase should be deducted because it implies that not all sales were received in cash

Increase in inventory   =  $(50,000 ) a rise is deducted because cash was invested in inventory

Decrease in prepaid expenses      $4,000  A decrease are going to be added because no all expenses were paid in cash

Increase in accounts payable $63,000 a rise will be added as it implies that cash was generated from supplier credit

Net cash provided by operating activities  $18,000

Cash flows from investing activities:

Proceeds on sale of investment =30,000

Proceeds on sale of kit =8,000

Purchase of kit = $(150,000 )
