Answer:

The maximum rate is 5.65%.

Explanation:

The break-even 30-day repo rate is the rate at which an investor can make zero profit by carrying the following described trading:

Initially raise 30-day repo at x rate; invest in 90-day bill at 5.30%;

As the 30-day repo is matured, raise fund from 60-day bill at 5.10% to repay the 30-day repo;

Then as the 60-day bill matures, use the proceed from 90-day bill to repay the amount.

In other word, we have the below calculation to illustrate the trading:

Amount repay to 02 fund raising ( through 30-day repo and 60-day bill) = Amount receipt from 90-day bill investment

[1 + x*30/365] x [ 1 +  5.1% *60/365 ] = 1 + 5.30% * 90/365

<=> 1 + x*30/365 = 1.004646 <=> x = 5.65%.

Sag manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The contribution margin ratio is 20%
Tasya [4]

The question is incomplete. The following is the complete question.

Sag Manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The  contribution margin ratio is 20%. If Sweet will break even at this level of sales, what are  the fixed costs?

Answer:

Fixed costs are $480000

Explanation:

The break even sales is the value of total sales or total revenue where it equals total cost and the company makes no profit or no loss. The break even in sales is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio.

Break even in sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

Plugging in the available values we can calculate the value of fixed cost. We know that the break even in units is at 400000 units. Thus, its value in sale will be 400000 * 6 = 2400000

2400000 = Fixed cost / 0.2

2400000 * 0.2 = Fixed cost

Fixed costs = $480000
