Answer:

The break-even point in units for ordinary laptops is 2,100 units.

Explanation:

Contribution Margin per unit (ordinary) = Selling Price - Variable cost

                                                                 = $650 -$605

                                                                 = $45

Contribution Margin per unit (premium) = Selling Price - Variable cost                                        = $1,150 -$1,090

= $60

$45* 4x + $60x = Fixed Costs = $126,000

= 180x +60x = $126,000

=240x =$126,000 = 525 units

Ordinary computers = 4x

                                  = 4*525

                                  = 2,100 units

Therefore, The break-even point in units for ordinary laptops is 2,100 units.

belka [17]

Answer:

Production Budget

Explanation:

Production Budget is usually substituted <em>with</em> Purchasing budget for a retail company.

The operating budget usually consist of the:

  • sales budget,
  • production budget,
  • manufacturing overhead budget.

However, for a retail company that usually do not produce their products or inventory but purchase them, the Production Budget is usually substituted <em>with</em> Purchasing budget or merchandise inventory to be purchased; meaning since they do not have raw materials they<em> substitute </em>the number of units to be purchased, to the number of units to be produced.

An investor has two bonds in her portfolio, Bond C and Bond Z. Each bond matures in 4 years, has a face value of $1,000, and has
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel for the calculations of the prices of Bond C and Bond Z.

The price of each bond of the bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

rate = Yield to maturity of each of the bonds

NPER = Years to maturity

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value

FV = Face value

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) for each of the Years to Maturity and inputting them into relevant cells in the attached excel sheet, we have:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

Consider an offer to supply 5 paintings per year to an art gallery in Rome for the next five years. The contract is exclusive, m
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

I will accept the offer if the price per painting is $56,312.41 or higher.

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of the other option which is, selling our painting as a freelancer.

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 315,000.00

time 5

rate 0.2

315000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.2)^{-5} }{0.2} = PV\\

PV $942,042.8241

Now, we subtract the signing bonus of 100,000

942,042.83 - 100,000 = 842,042.83

And solve for the annual proceeds from the painting we need to equalize the opportunity cost:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV 842,042.83

time 5

rate 0.2

842042.83 \div \frac{1-(1+0.2)^{-5} }{0.2} = C\\

C  $ 281,562.03

Now, we divide by the 5 painting per year:

$281,562.03 per year / 5 painting per year = $56,312.41
