Answer:

Rate of interest = 6/60% = 10%

Explanation:

Net rate of bonds after tax will be = Rate of interest X (1 - Tax)

Heflin bond = 6% X (1 - 40%) = 3.6%

Surething Bond = 9% X (1 - 40%) = 5.4%

Since both bonds provide interest and Surething provides more than Heflin

then in order to make both incomparable Surething can decrease the rate of interest to that of Heflin so that Hugh remains indifferent will be 6%

In case there is no tax on Heflin Bond, as Hugh is in 40% marginal tax bracket, then net interest = 6 %

But for Surething Hugh will have to pay tax then after tax value of interest shall be 6% i.e. 6% = 1 - 40%

Rate of interest = 6/60% = 10%

Surething needs to pay Interest @10% on bonds. to make Hugh indifferent of both the bonds.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1.  73 %

2. 27 %

3. $60,000

4. Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :

  1. Reduce the variable costs per unit
  2. Reduce fixed overheads

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

Where,

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

                     = $88,000 - $23,760

                     = $64,240

Then,

Contribution Margin Ratio = $64,240/ $88,000 × 100

                                           = 73 %

Variable Cost Ratio = Variable Cost / Sales × 100

                                = $23,760 / $88,000 × 100

                                = 27 %

Break-even sales revenue = Fixed Costs ÷  Contribution Margin Ratio

                                            = $43,800 ÷ 0.73

                                            = $60,000

<u>Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :</u>

  1. Reduce the variable costs per unit
  2. Reduce fixed overheads
