The correct answer is any amount higher than $5,400.

First, you need to solve the break even point of sales when Chris will earn the exact same amount by plan a or plan b. The following equation will solve this problem, with x being the amount of sales.

$360 + .09x = $630 + .04x

First, subtract .04x from both sides:

$360 +.05x = $630

Next, subtract $360 from both sides:

.05x = $270

Finally, divide both sides by .05:

X = $5,400

At $5,400 Chris will earn the same about of pay, regardless of which plan they are on. Since the commission percentage is higher on plan a, Chris is better off having plan a when sales are higher than $5,400. At this point Chris is earning 9% commission, rather than 4% in plan b.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: 97.99

Explanation:

The one-year forward rate that an investor would be indifferent between the U.S. and Japanese investments will be:

= Spot rate × (1 + Japanese rate / 1 + U.S rate)

= 101 × (1 + 1% / 1 + 4.1%)

= 101 × [(1 + 0.01) / (1 + 0.041)]

= 101 × (1.01/1.041)

= 101 × 0.9702209

= 97.99

Explanation:

Sales                                                          $46,382

Less: Cost of goods sold                          <u>$16,659</u>

Gross profit                                                $29,723

Less: Selling & administrative expense   $11,766

Less: Depreciation                                     <u>$6,415</u>

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)    $11,542

Less: Interest expenses                             <u>$3,854</u>

Earnings before tax (EBT)                           $7,688

Less: Tax expenses  (7688*35%)               <u>$2,691</u>

Earnings after tax                                       <u>$4,997</u>

Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation expenses - Tax expenses

Operating cash flow = $11,542 + $6,415 - $2,691

Operating cash flow = $15,266
