An income statement for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter of the year is presented below: Sam's Bookstore Income Statement F

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is 0.84 or 84 %

Explanation:

Contribution Margin = Contribution ÷ Sales

Where,

<em>Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs</em>

where,

Sales :

Sales = $ 900,000

Number of Books Sold = $ 900,000 ÷ $50

= 18,000 books

Variable Costs Calculation :

Cost of goods sold $630,000

Variable selling expenses ($5 × 18,000 books) $90,000

Variable administrative expenses( 4% × $ 900,000) $36,000

Total Variable Costs $756,000

Therefore,

Contribution Margin = $756,000÷ $ 900,000

= 0.84 or 84 %

Answer:

Option D

In simple words, A determined currency rate, also called a fixed currency value, refers to the form of exchange rate regimes during which a currency agency sets or pegs the value of the currency against both the value of yet another currencies, a combination of other currencies, or another value factor, like gold.

Thus, in order to keep the currency at a fixed level the monetary authority must increase their liability also but on a domestic level only as two accounts are considered to be separate in such systems.

You find the following financial information about a company: net working capital = $1,005; fixed assets = $6,025; total assets

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

$6,021

Explanation:

The computation of the company's total liabilities is shown below:-

Current Assets = Total Assets - Fixed Assets

= $8,510 - $6,025

= $2,485

Current Liabilities = Current Assets - Net Working Capital

= $2,485 - $1,005

= $1,480

Total Liabilities = Long-Term Debt + Current Liabilities

= $4,541 + $1,480

= $6,021

Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 14% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For nominal yield to maturity

Given that

NPER = 9 × 2 = 18

PMt = $1,000 ×14% ÷ 2 = $70

PV = -$1,300

FV = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 9.05%

For nominal yield to call

Given that

NPER = 6 × 2 = 18

PMt = $1,000 ×14% ÷ 2 = $70

PV = -$1,300

FV = $1,060

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the yield to call is 8.34%

As the yield to maturity is more than the yield to call so the bond would be likely to called
