Requirement (a)

The cost benefit analysis will be suitable here for short term decision making.

                                                                Cost         Benefit         Net

Increase in Fixed Cost (W-1)              ($5000)                         ($5000)

Increase in Total Contribution (W-2) <u>               </u>     <u>$2700 </u>      <u> $2700 </u>

Net Decrease in Operating Income   ($5000)     $2700       ($2300)

Working 1 The net increase in the fixed cost is $5000 which is given in the requirement (a).

Working 2 Net increase in Total contribution by increasing the monthly advertising expense by $5000 is:

30% * $9000 = $2700

Requirement (b)

As the net difference is a decrease in operating income by $2300 so it is not a suitable option for the company.

Requirement 2

Again here we will appraise the suitability of the option by using cost benefit analysis.

                                                                 Cost         Benefit         Net

Increase in T.Variable Cost (W-3)        ($4400)                       ($4400)

Increase in Total Contribution (W-4)   <u>              </u>     <u>$1000 </u>      <u> $1000 </u>

Net Decrease in Operating Income   ($4400)     $1000      <u>($3400)</u>

Decision: As the net difference is $3400 negative so it is better that we don't opt to increase the component cost by $2.

Working 3 The net increase in the Total Variable cost is:

Increase in Total Variable cost = $2 net increase in variable cost per unit * total units after opting to higher quality components

Increase in Total Variable cost = $2 * (2000*110%) = $4400

Working 4 Net decrease in contribution per unit is $2 as a result of increasing the Variable cost per unit by $2.

Due to the increase in the total number of units sold the total contribution will increase if the difference of contribution on increased units and contribution on older number of units is positive.

Total Contribution after taking the decision to increase variable cost by $2 is:

Total contribution = 2000 * 110% * $(27-2)  = $55000

Total Contribution before taking the decision to increase variable cost by $2 is:

Total contribution = 2000 * $27 = $54000

So the Net difference is $1000 positive (55000-54000).

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A. $93,600

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question below:-

Face value = $90,000

Quoted price = 104

The computation of selling price is shown below:-

Selling Price = Face value × Quoted price ÷ 100

= $90,000 × 104 ÷ 100

= $90,000 × 1.04

= $93,600

Therefore for computing the selling price we simply applied the above formula.

A(n) ________ in the liquidity of corporate bonds will​ ________ the price of corporate bonds and​ ________ the yield on corpora
Fed [463]

Answer:

An <u>increase</u> in the liquidity of corporate bonds will <u>increase</u> the price of corporate bonds and <u>decrease</u> the yield on corporate bonds, all else equal.

Explanation:

Bond liquidity refers to how quickly the bonds can be redeemed and converted to cash. This relates to the ease with which an investor can sell his bond.

High liquidity bonds are costly as they are more in demand and an attractive investment for the investors.

Thus, bond liquidity is directly related to it's price.

The yield of a bond refers to the market rate of return and represents the expectation of the bondholder with respect to rate of return.

A high price bond ( high liquidity) usually pays higher coupon rate of interest which is higher than the market rate of return on similar bonds i.e yield to maturity. This means price of a bond is inversely related to it's yield. Higher the bond price, higher the coupon payment, lower the bond yield.

One year ago, JK Mfg. deposited $12,000 in an investment account for the purpose of buying new equipment four years from today.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Total FV= $46,008.31

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Deposit 1= $12,000

Deposit 2= $15,000

Deposit 3= $10,000

Interest rate= 0.055

<u>To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula on each deposit:</u>

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV1= 12,000*(1.055^5)= 15,683.53

FV2= 15,000*(1.055^4)= 18,582.37

FV3= 10,000*(1.055^3)= 11,742.41

Total FV= $46,008.31
