2. $531,200

3. $1,071,200

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of sales at which the business incur no profit no loss.Fixed and variable costs are covered at this level of sales. Use following formula of break-even to calculate the fixed cost.

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

$487,200 = Fixed cost / 25%

Fixed Cost = $487,200 x 25% = $121,800

1.

Revised Fixed cost = $121,800 + $11,000 = $132,800

2.

New Break-even point = $132,800 / 25% = $531,200

3.

Desired profit = $135,000

Desired revenue = ( Desired profit + Fixed cost ) /Contribution margin ratio = ( $135,000 + 132,800 ) / 25% = 267,800 / 25% = $1,071,200

posledela

Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.

Explanation:

Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.

The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.

Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.

Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.

Sliva [168]

The convexity of the bond is 61.810 and the duration of the bond is 7.330 years.                                                                                                      

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • A newly issued bond has a maturity of 10 years. It pays a 7.7% coupon rate. The coupon payments will receive each year. Using the coupon payments the year will be reduced.
  • The maturity year will get reduced. So the duration of the bond is approximately 7.330 years. If the bond is sold at par value the convexity can be calculated using the number of years.
  • So the convexity of the bond is 61.810.
