You are a newspaper publisher. You are in the middle of a one-year rental contract for your factory that requires you to pay $60

0,000 per month, and you have contractual labor obligations of $1,250,000 per month that you can’t get out of. You also have a marginal printing cost of $0.25 per paper as well as a marginal delivery cost of $0.1 per paper. If sales fall by 20 percent from 1,000,000 papers per month to 800,000 papers per month, what happens to the Average Fixed Costs per paper?

Answer:

If sales fall by 20 percent from 1,000,000 papers per month to 800,000 papers per month, <em>Average Fixed Costs will increase from $1.85 per paper to $2.31 per paper.</em>

Explanation:

The fixed costs  mentioned add up to 600,000 + 1,250,000 = $1,850,000 per month

The other costs mentioned (printing cost and delivery cost) are variable with output (per paper).

As fixed costs are the same regardless of output, falling sales will reduce the quantity on which fixed cost are spread (to calculate fixed cost) and thus make average fixed cost increases.

In this case, it increases from  1,850,000/1,000,000 (= $1.85 per paper) to  1,850,000/800,000 (= $2.31 per paper)

<h3>What is Sinking Fund Bond ?</h3>

A sinking fund is maintained by companies for bond issues, and is money set aside or saved to pay off a debt or bond.

  • Bonds issued with sinking funds are lower risk since they are backed by the collateral in the fund, and therefore carry lower yields.

  • example may be a company issuing $1 million of bonds that are to mature in 10 years. Given this, it creates a sinking fund and deposits $100,000 yearly to make sure that the bonds are all bought back by their maturity date

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The answer is =16.7%

Explanation:

Earnings before interest and taxes(EBIT) = $145,000

Tax rate is 25%

Therefore, the applicable tax rate on the earnings is 100% - 25% = 75%

So the Net income is 0.75 x $145,000

Net income = $108,750

The project is financed by 100percent equity and the cost is $650,000.

ROE(Return on Equity) = net income/equity

$108,750/$650,000

=16.7%

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

One important financial reporting instrument for measuring and assessing an organisations liquidity risk is the Cash Flows statement. It speaks to the availability of cash in the short term, and or assets that can be readily converted to cash.

In other words, when a business has immediate financial obligations, cash refers to those resources that can be used to satisfy them.

An understanding of cash flows is crucial to business success because it:

  • provides a clear picture of an organisations cash status or liquidity;
  • helps business owners plan for how much cash expected in the future and when it is likely to come;
  • when organisations want to benchmark their performance against one another, it becomes very handy and useful. Banks, for instance, measure the ability of a business to meet it's liquidity requirements as a measure of eligibility to receive additional finance.

One way companies can maintain liquidity during this pandemic is to control overhead expenses. Necessity is the mother of invention. Companies can have their team brainstorm on creative ways to cut down on operational, administrative and production costs. Some costs which can be considered for downward revision are rent, labor costs (such as business performance incentives), professional fees, marketing costs, advertising costs, public relations etc.

Cheers!
