Answer: $1387.5

Explanation:

Given data:

Useful life of the machine = 6years

Inflation for the 6years period = 3%

Interest rate = 8%.

Cost of maintenance = $5000

Yearly increments = $500 for five years.

Solution:

Total cost of maintenance for five years

= cost of maintenance + yearly increments x 5

= $5000 + $500(5)

= $5000 + $2500

= $7500.

Interest rate on the machinery = 8%

= 0.08 x $7500

= $600

Inflation rate

= 0.03 x 7500

= $225

Equal yearly maintenance cost

= $7500 + $600 + $225/ 6

= $8325/6

= $1387.5

ozzi

Answer:

$35,800

Explanation:

Gross Profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

                   = $268,100 - $145,500

                   = $122,600

Total Operating Expense:

= S, G & A Expenses + R&D expense

= $59,000 + $27,800

= $86,800

Operating Income = Gross Profit - Total Operating Expense

                               = $122,600 - $86,800

                               = $35,800

An investment bank agrees to underwrite an issue of 15 million shares of stock for Looney Landscaping Corp.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A) Looney Landscaping will receive $187,500,000 (= $12.50 x 15,000,000 shares)

The bank's profit will be $11,250,000 (= ($13.25 - $12.50) x 15,000,000 shares)

B) Looney Landscaping will receive $166,260,000 (= ($12.50 - $0.275) x 13,600,000 shares)

The bank's profit will be $3,740,000 (= $0.275 x 13,600,000 shares)

If the stocks are sold at $11.95 per share, then Looney Landscaping will receive  $158,780,000 (= ($11.95 - $0.275) x 13,600,000 shares)

The bank's profit will be the same, $3,740,000
