Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin per marketing plan = Sales - Variable cost

                                                                   =  $3,000 - $2,000

                                                                   = $1,000

A.

(1) Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{Fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ per\ marketing\ plan}

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{400,000}{1,000}

Break even in marketing plan = 400

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 400 × 3,000

= 1,200,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                                = 1,500,000 - 1,200,000

                                = 300,000

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{Margin\ of\ safety}{Actual\ sales}

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{300,000}{1,500,000}

                                             = 20%

B.

(1) Contribution margin per marketing plan = Sales - Variable cost

                                                                   =  $4,000 - $2,000

                                                                   = $2,000

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{Fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ per\ marketing\ plan}

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{400,000}{2,000}

Break even in marketing plan = 200

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 200 × 4,000

= 800,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                                = 1,500,000 - 800,000

                                = 700,000

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{Margin\ of\ safety}{Actual\ sales}

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{700,000}{1,500,000}

                                             = 47%

Therefore, option (a) would achieve the margin of safety ratio more than 45%.

An engineer wishes to have $3 million by the time he retires in 35 years. Assuming 8% nominal interest, compounded continuously,
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

annual sum must he set aside $16209.42

Explanation:

given data

engineer wishes = $3 million

retires time = 35 years

nominal interest = 8%

solution

we get here effective annual rate that is

interest rate  = e^{r} - 1  ...........1

interest rate  = e^{0.08} - 1

interest rate  = 0.08328 = 8.33%

and

now we get annual sum must he set aside that is

amount = $3 million × \frac{rate}{(1+rate)^{t}-1}

amount = $3000000 × \frac{0.0832}{(1+0.0832)^{35}-1}

amount = $16209.42
