Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
Answer:
Discourage Torri from continuing. Encourage Julie to continue.
Explanation:
The progress of all trainees is tracked. Those not showing good progress are moved to less demanding programs. This means that there is hope of still doing/getting a job, if they don't pass this test.
REQUIREMENT: By the 10th time doing the test, trainees must be able to complete the task in a maximum of 1 hour.
1st Trainee: Torri Olson-Alves
5 hours on Unit 4; 4 hours on Unit 8
Should Torri be encouraged to continue? NO.
There are 10 units or repetitions in all. If Torri spends 5 hours on Unit 4 and spends 4 hours on Unit 8, then Torri is slow or isn't making much progress. After 4 repetitions, her marginal product only increased by an hour. She most likely won't make it to 1 hour by the 10th repetition.
2nd Trainee: Julie Burgmeier
4 hours on Unit 3; 3 hours on Unit 6
Should Julie be encouraged to continue? YES.
Julie makes a progress of 1 hour after 3 repetitions. We can predict that after another 3 repetitions (on Unit 9) progress would be made again and by Unit 10, she would have met the required benchmark.
Solution:
a.
N I/Y PV PMT FV
10 × 2 10 / 2 CPT
PV −1,000.00 100 / 2 1,000
10%/2=5% *1000= 50
n=20
i=5%

fv 1000
Answer: $1,000.00
b.
N I/Y PV PMT FV
5 × 2 10 / 2 CPT
PV −1,000.00 100 / 2 1,000

i 5%
fv 1000
Answer: $1,000.00
a.
Appendix D
Present value of interest payments:
PVA = A × PVIFA (5%, 20)
= $50 × 12.462
= $623.10
Appendix B
Present value of principal payment at maturity:
PV = FV × PVIF (5%, 20)
= $1,000 × .377
= $377.00
Bond price = $623.10 + 377.00
= $1,000.10
b.
Appendix D
Present value of interest payments:
PVA = A × PVIFA (5%, 10)
= $50 × 7.722
= $386.10
Appendix B
Present value of principal payment at maturity:
PV = FV × PVIF (5%, 10)
= $1,000 × .614
= $614.00
Bond price = $386.10 + 614.00
= $1,000.10
Answer:
A. $2,325
B. $2,325
C. $0; $1,715
D. $598.5
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the amount of the travel costs can Melissa deduct as business expenses
Round trip airfare $610
Conference registration fees $385
3 nights lodging $1,005
($335*3)
Meals $150
(300*50%)
Cab fare $175
Total deduction $2,325
Therefore the amount of the travel costs can Melissa deduct as business expenses will be $2,325
b. Calculation to determine What amount of the travel costs can Melissa deduct as business expenses
Based on the information given the amount of the TRAVEL COSTS that Melissa can deduct as BUSINESS EXPENSES will still be $2,325.
Round trip airfare $610
Conference registration fees $385
3 nights lodging $1,005
($335*3)
Meals $150
(300*50%)
Cab fare $175
Total deduction $2,325
c. Calculation to determine What amount of the airfare can Melissa deduct as a business expense
Based on the information given Airfare will NOT BE DEDUCTIBLE
Hence;
Total Airfare deductible = $0
Total expenses deductible = $2,325 - $610
Total expenses deductible = $1,715
d. Calculation to determine the amount of the travel costs can Melissa deduct as business expense
Registration fee $385
Mileage $43.5
($75*0.58)
Parking $170
Total deductible $598.5
Therefore the amount of the travel costs that Melissa can deduct as business expense is $598.5
Answer:
It will take 13.2 years to reach $4,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= $2,000
FV= $4,000
i= 0.0525
<u>To calculate the time required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:</u>
n= ln(FV/PV) / i
n= ln(4,000/2,000) / 0.0525
n= 13.2
It will take 13.2 years to reach $4,000.
