Answer:

Option 1 is more convenient.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The annual salary is $100,000. You are offered two options for a severance package. Option 1 pays you 6 months' salary now. Option 2 pays you and your heirs $6,000 per year forever

The present value of option 1 is:

PV= 6*100,000= $600,000

To calculate the present value of option 2 we need to use the present value formula of a perpetual annuity:

PV= Cash flow/i

PV= 6,000/0.11= $54,545

There is no doubt that option 1 is better.

quester [9]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold on April 25 is $13.80 and the inventory balance is $55.20

Explanation:

Data given:total unit

Cost of purchase with  data;

Date                  Amount

April 5                 $10

April 10                $12

April 15                $14

April 20                 $16

April 22                 $17

Total cost             69    

Average cost = total cost /total quantity

                       = 69/5

                       =13.8

The cost of the ending inventory is given on the balance sheet below

Date      Purchases              Cost of            Inventory Bal.   Avg Cost

                                            goods sold

April 5   $10* 1 unit= $10                -                        $10               10/1 = $10

April  10  $12* 1 unit=$12               -               10+ 12 = 22            22/2 = 11

April  15   $14* 1 unit=$14                  -           22+14 =36              36/3 = 12

April 20   $16* 1 unit= $16                  -          36 +16 =52            52/4 = 13

April 22    $17* 1 unit = $17                 -          52+17 =69            69/5 = 13.8

April 25             -           1 unit*13.8 = 13.80      69 - 13.8 = 55.20

You invest $600 in security A with a beta of 1.5 and $400 in security B with a beta of 0.90. The beta of this portfolio is _____
klio [65]

Answer:

Beta= 1.26

Explanation:

<u>First, we will calculate the proportion of the portfolio of each security:</u>

Security A= 600/1,000= 0.6

Security B= 400/1,000= 0.4

<u>Now, the beta of the portfolio:</u>

Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)

Beta= (0.6*1.5) + (0.4*0.9)

Beta= 1.26

Falcon Co. produces a single product. Its normal selling price is $29 per unit. The variable costs are $15 per unit. Fixed costs
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$11,760

Explanation:

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income/profit.

Without the new offer

Profit = 5000($29 - $15) - $20,900

= $70,000 - $20,900

= $49,100

For the new order a variable selling cost of $2 per unit would be eliminated, the contribution of the order will be

= 1680($20 - $15 + $2)

= 1680 * $7

= $11,760

This is the differential effect on profit.
