Answer:
d. Sales in Dollars February = $180353
Explanation:
The new Sales or the sales budgeted for January will be 3% higher than that for December. If December sales were of 10000 units, then the January sales will be of 10000 * 103% = 10300 units.
The budgeted sales for February will be 103% of January sales.
Budgeted sales- Feb = 10300 * 103% = 10609 units
The selling price is assumed to stay constant at $17 per stapler.
Sales in Dollar-February = 10609 * 17 = $180353

Explanation:
We need to calculate the present value of the bond using the minimum effective rate of 7.1225%
First we calcualte the present value of an annuity of $80 for 10 years


PV = $558.72
Then we calculate the $1,000 in 10 years present value


PV = $502.57
Then we add both values
$502.57 + $558.72 = $1,061.28
This will be the present value AKA market price which yields the minimun rate of 7.1225%
