Sales                                                          $46,382

Less: Cost of goods sold                          <u>$16,659</u>

Gross profit                                                $29,723

Less: Selling & administrative expense   $11,766

Less: Depreciation                                     <u>$6,415</u>

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)    $11,542

Less: Interest expenses                             <u>$3,854</u>

Earnings before tax (EBT)                           $7,688

Less: Tax expenses  (7688*35%)               <u>$2,691</u>

postnew [5]

Answer:

A. 0.3204    B. $14.669

Explanation:

Mean = 8.9      SD = 4.5

Required probability = P (X >/= 550/50)

P(X>/=11) = 1 - P[(X - mean/SD) < (11 - mean)/SD]

              = 1 - P(Z < (11-8.9)/4.5)

P(X>/=11) = 1 - P(Z < 0.4666667)

Using Excel NORMDIST(0.4666667,0,1,1)

P(X>/=11) = 1 - 0.6796 = 0.3204

The probability that she will earn at least $550 = 0.3204

b. P ( X  >  x )  =  0.10

1  −  P ( X  −  mean)/SD  ≤  (x  −  mean) /SD = 0.10

P ( Z  ≤  z )  =  0.90

Where,

z  =  (x  −  mean )/SD

Excel function for the value of z:

=NORMSINV(0.9)

=1.282

Hence (x - mean)/SD = 1.282

= (x - 8.9)/4.5 = 1.282

x = (1.282*4.5) + 8.9

x = 14.669

He earns $14.669 on the best 10% of such weekends.

Semmy [17]

The gross profit of Hex Industries for May under absorption costing is $604,000.

<h3>What is absorption costing?</h3>

Under absorption costing, the total or full costs of manufacturing or (variable and fixed) cost of goods sold are included when determining the gross profit.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Sales $ 990,000

Variable cost of goods sold 268,000

Fixed cost of goods sold 118,000

Total cost of goods sold = $386,000

Gross profit = $604,000 ($990,000 - $386,000)

Fixed selling and administrative costs 118,000

Variable selling and administrative costs 143,000

Total period costs = $261,000 ($118,000 + $143,000)

Net income = $343,000 ($604,000 - $261,000)

Thus, the gross profit of Hex Industries for May under the absorption costing method is $604,000.

The fair rate is 8%. What is 100 per year, forever, worth now?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

1. $1,250

2. $855.95

3. $3,333.33

4. $92.59

5. $46.32

6. $671.01

Explanation:

1.

$100 per year forever

Constant Cash flow every year forever is actually a perpetuity its present value is

PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return

PV of $100 Perpetuity = $100 / 0.08 = $1,250

2.

$100 per year for 15 years

Constant Cash flow every year for specific time period is actually a Annuity  its present value is

PV of annuity = P + P [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] = $100 + $100 [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-15 ) / 0.08 ] = $855.95

3.

$100 per year grow at 5% forever

It is a growing perpetuity and its present value will be calculated as follow

Present value of growing perpetuity = Cash flow / Rate of return - growth rate

Present value of growing perpetuity = $100 / 0.08 - 0.05 = $3,333.33

4.

$100 once at the end of this year

Present value = P ( 1 + r)^-n = $100 ( 1 + 0.08 )^-1 = $92.59

5.

$100 once after 10 years

Present value = P ( 1 + r)^-n = $100 ( 1 + 0.08 )^-10 = $46.32

6.

$100 each year for 10 years @ 8%

PV of annuity = P + P [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] = $100 + $100 [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-10 ) / 0.08 ] = $671.01
