Answer:

An investment center

Explanation:

A division, firm, work team or department that directly contributes to the company's profit gain is referred to as an investment center. On the contrary, a cost center is a department that does not directly contribute to profit, but represents mainly a cost for the company, although it benefits the business.

Chester's firm is an investment center, as he keeps his overhead costs at a minimum and does outsourcing in terms of HR.

Arjen owns investment A and 1 bond B. The total value of his holdings is 1,529 dollars. Investment A is expected to pay annual c
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

In order to find the present value of the bond we have to calculate the present value of investment A and subtract is from 1529. We can find the present value of A by discounting all its cash flows.

As the first cash flow is received today and the last will be received 3 years form now there will be a total of 4 cash flows

1) 218.19 (Will not be discounted as we are receiving it today in the present)

2) 218.19/1.0987 (Discount by 1 year as cash will be received in 1 year)

3) 218.19/1.0987^2 (Discount by 2 years as cash will be received in 2 years)

4) 218.19/ 1.0987^3 (Discount by 3 years as cash will be received in 3 years)

= 218.19 + 198.58 + 180.74+ 164.51 = 762.02

PV of Bond = 1529-762.09= 766.91

Semi annual coupons mean 2 payments a year. Bond B matures in 23 years which means a total of 46 payments (23*2). N=46. A coupon rate of 6.4 percent means that the bond pays $64 (0.064*1000) each year. $64 divided by 2 is 32 which is the amount of each semi annual payment Arjen receives. Pv= 766.91 FV = 1000

In a financial calculator put

PV= -766.91

N= 46

FV=1000

PMT= 32

and compute I

I is 4.38 and we will multiply it by 2 because the payments are semi annual. So we will get an I of 8.76

YTM= 0.0876

Carryon Company sells a product and a 12-month service package for that for a combined price of $800. Separately, the product an
anzhelika [568]

The part of the combined price allocated to the product is less than 50% which might be around 35-40%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since the price of the product all alone is $450 and the price of the service alone is $550, so the combined amount totals up to be nothing less than $1000. But the company under the discount and offer, offers the both things combined for $800.

This shows that the company is under some loss which it has to incur. The loss is of $200 under the discount to be offered to the clients which serves as the incentive to the customers.

During its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $14,000 for direct materials and $19,000 for production workers' wag
hjlf

Answer:

GROSS MARGIN = 33.33%

Explanation:

PRODUCTION COST COMPONENTS

  • Direct materials 14,000  
  • Direct work 19,000  
  • Lease and utilities 17,000

TOTAL PRODUCTION COST = 50,000

TOTAL UNITS PRODUCED = 5,000

UNIT COST= (Total Production Cost / Total Units Produced) = 50,000 / 5,000 = 10  

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY = (Total Units Produced – Total Units Sales) = 5,000 – 3,000 = 2,000

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY AMOUNT = (Final goods Inventory * Unit Cost) = 2,000 * 10 = 20,000

SALES REVENUE= (Sold Units * Sale Price) = (3,000 * 15) = 45,000

COST OF SOLD GOODS (a) = (Sold Units * Unit Cost) = 3,000 * 10 = 30,000

COST OF SOLD GOODS (b) = (Beginning Balance + Production cost – Final Balance) = 0 + 50,000 – 20,000 = 30,000

GROSS MARGIN = ((Sales Revenue – Cost of sold Goods) / Sales Revenues) * 100 = ((45,000 – 30,000) / 45,000) * 100 = 33.33%

COST OF SOLD GOODS (a) Calculated according to the inventory unit cost

COST OF SOLD GOODS (b) Calculated as the difference in inventory
