Answer and Explanation:

a. The estimation of the contribution margin for each segment is shown below:

                                                     (in millions)

<u>Particulars            Investor Advisor             Services Services   </u>

Income from

operations              $1,681                                  $1,660

Add:

Depreciation           $171                                     $154

Contribution

Margin                    $1,852                                  $1,814

2. Now the estimation of decline in operating income is

                                                   (in millions)

<u>Particulars         Combined services          Institutional Services   </u>

Revenues          $9,368                                $4,771

Less:

Variable cost    $5,702                                 $2,919

                    ($2,919 + $2,783)

Contribution

margin               $3,666                                 $1,852

Less:

Fixed cost         -$325                                    -$171

Net income        $3,341                                  $1,681

= $3,341 - $1,681

= $1,660 million

The variable cost is come from

Answer:

The floating exchange system

Explanation:

The floating exchange rate is a system where the Forex market determines the currency price of a country relative to other currencies. The forces of demand and supply drive the prices.

In the floating exchange system,  governments do not directly fix their exchange rates as they do in the fixed-exchange-rate. However, through central banks' monetary policies, governments try to keep their currency prices competitive for international trade.

From his capital gains and losses, Norris reports an an offset against ordinary income of $3,000 and the a net short-term Capital loss (NSTCL) balance carryforward will be the difference between the net short-term Capital loss (NSTCL) of $9,100 and a net long-term capital gain (NLTCG) of $3,700 and the offset against ordinary income. This will be:

Material price variance is the difference between the cost and the budgeted and actual cost to obtain an object or materials, multiply to the total amount of the product purchased. They are what you called positive value of direct material price and negative value of direct material price. A positive value of direct material price variance is the one that is favorable and it means that the direct material was purchased for a lesser price than the standard price.

Fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract. This year, he began receiving a $1,300 month
marusya05 [52]

Answer: $1091.61

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract and that this year, he began receiving a $1,300 monthly payment that will continue for his life and based on his age, he can expect to receive $312,000. The amount of each monthly payment is taxable income to Mr. Fairhold goes thus:

Based on the question, Mr Fairhold will have a tax free return of the $50,000 paid. The exclusion ratio will be the investment divided by the expected return. This will be:

= $50,000/$312,000

= 0.1603

Since he received monthly payment of $1,300 and exclusion ratio is 0.1603, the tax free return on investment will be:

= $1,300 × 0.1603

= $208.39

Taxable annuity payment will now be:

= $1300 - $208.39

= $1091.61
