Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Contribution = Sales × Contribution percentage

And, pre tax Income = Contribution - Fixed cost

And we know that

Sales = [Fixed cost+ pre tax income] ÷ Contribution margin

= [$160,000 + $164,000 ] ÷ 25%

= $1,296,000

Now the amount of total variable cost is  

2. As we know that

The Variable cost is

= Sales - Contribution  margin

= Sales - sales × 25%

= Sales × 75%

= $1,296,000 × 75%

= $972,000

Answer is 3.03%

<u>Task B: </u>

<u>What would be the quarterly payment on this loan?</u>

Answer is $5,403.06

<u>Task C:</u>

<u>Dr. Zoidberg also discovers that instead of the special promotional rate he can make  an additional down payment of $20,000 that would lower his loan amount accordingly (i.e. by $20,000). At what APR would Dr. Zoidberg have the same quarterly payment with this option as with the initial promotional rate of 3%?</u>

Answer is 12.21%

<u>Task D</u>

<u>Dr. Zoidberg finds that he can get 1.5% APR if he elects option (c). What will his quarterly payment be under this option?</u>

The answer is $4,159.37

<u>Task E:</u>

<u>Now assume that that payment frequency changes to annual, preserving the same EAR. What is his payment now?</u>

The answer is $21,835.46

Explanation:

<h2>Task A: </h2><h3>What is the effecting annual rate changed on this loan?</h3>

Solution:

Effective annual rate = (1 + (APR/n))ⁿ - 1

where

n = number of compounding periods per year = 4 (compounding quarterly)

APR = 3%

Effective annual rate = (1 + (3%/4))⁴ - 1

Effective annual rate = 3.03% (answer).

<h2>Task B: </h2><h3>What would be the quarterly payment on this loan?</h3>

Solution:

Quarterly loan payment is calculated using PMT function in Excel :

Rate = 3% / 4   (converting annual rate into Quarterly rate)

nper = 5*4 (5 year loan with 12 Quarterly payments each year)

pv = 100000 (loan amount)

PMT Formula = PMT(3%/4,5*4,100000)

PMT is calculated to be $5,403.06 (answer)  

Note: PMT calculation has been attached.

<h2>Task C:</h2><h3>Dr. Zoidberg also discovers that instead of the special promotional rate he can make  an additional down payment of $20,000 that would lower his loan amount accordingly (i.e. by $20,000). At what APR would Dr. Zoidberg have the same quarterly payment with this option as with the initial promotional rate of 3%?</h3>

Solution

The quarterly rate to have the same quarterly payment is calculated using RATE function in Excel :

nper = 5*4 (5 year loan with 12 Quarterly payments each year)

pmt = -5403.06 (Quarterly payment. This is entered with a negative sign because it is a payment)

pv = 80000 (loan amount)

RATE is calculated to be 3.05%. This is the quarterly rate. To get APR, we multiply by 4.

Formula for APR = RATE(5*4,C1,80000)*4

APR = 12.21% (answer)

<h2>Task D</h2><h3>Dr. Zoidberg finds that he can get 1.5% APR if he elects option (c). What will his quarterly payment be under this option?</h3>

Solution:

Quarterly loan payment is calculated using PMT function in Excel :

rate = 1.5% / 4   (converting annual rate into Quarterly rate)

nper = 5*4 (5 year loan with 12 Quarterly payments each year)

pv = 80000 (loan amount)

PMT formula: PMT(1.5%/4,5*4,80000)

PMT is calculated to be $4,159.37

<h2>Task E</h2><h3>Now assume that that payment frequency changes to annual, preserving the same EAR. What is his payment now?</h3>

Solution:

PMT = PMT(3%,5,100000)

PMT = $21,835.46

A company has 975 shares of $50 par value preferred stock outstanding. and the call price of its preferred stock is $64 per shar
svetlana [45]

Answer:

book value = $35.64

so correct option is b. $35.64

Explanation:

given data

no of shares =  975 shares

preferred stock outstanding = $50

preferred stock = $64 per share

common stock outstanding = 11,000 shares

total value equity = $440,800

to find out

book value per common share

solution

we get here book value per common share that is express as

book value = ( Total value equity - Preferred Stock Book Value) ÷ Common Stock Outstanding    ...................1

put here value we get

here Preferred Stock Book Value = no of shares × preferred stock outstanding

Preferred Stock Book Value = 975 × 50 = $48750

so book value will be

book value = \frac{440800-48750}{11000}

book value = $35.64

so correct option is b. $35.64

Steve Pratt, who is single, purchased a home in Spokane, Washington, for $347,500. He moved into the home on February 1 of year
Lana71 [14]

Answer: $107,500

Explanation:

There is an "Exclusion of gain on sale of home" provision by the IRS that allows for a single tax payer to exclude up to $250,000 from the sale of their primary home. A home qualifies as primary if the owner has lived in it for 2 years or more so Steve's home here is a primary home.

The gain he received was:

= 705,000 - 347,500

= $357,500

From this gain, $250,000 can be excluded so total gain recognized:

= 357,500 - 250,000

= $107,500
