Answer:
a. Income before advertising budget increase:
= Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= (38 * 3,600) - 79,000
= $57,800
Income after advertising budget increases:
= Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed expenses
Sales = (3,600 + 100 units) * 95 per unit
= $351,500
Variable expenses = 60% * 351,500
= $210,900
Fixed expenses = 79,000 + 8,400 advertising
= $87,400
Income = 351,500 - 210,900 - 87,400
= $53,200
b. Income decreased with the increase in advertising so<u> Advertising budget should not be increased. </u>
If Interest rate = 5%
Using Financial calculator
Payments (PMT) = 100
Interest (I/Y) = 5%
Number of Years (N) = 20
[N = 20 ; I/Y = 5% ; PV = 0 ; PMT = 100 ; FV = ?]
Compute for FV
Future value = 100 * 33.0660
Future value = $3,306.60

Answer:
Investment in fund b = $15,000
Explanation:
Let us assume funds invested in fund b = x while the sum total of funds invested in fund a & b = Y .ie Y = $6000 + x
Fund A returned $6000 * 3/100 = $180
Fund B returned = x & 10/100 = x/10
8%y(total returns) = funds a returns + fund b returns
8%y = $180 + (x/10)
let is replace y with 6000 + x
(6000 +x) * 8% = 180 + (x/10)
480+ 8x/100 = 180 + (x/10)
480 - 180 = (x/10) - (8x/100)
300 = (10x - 8x )/100
300 = 2x/100
300*100 = 2x
30,000 = 2x
x = 15, 000
