Farrell wants to retire in six years. To have sufficient assets to fund retirement, Farrell needs to accumulate an additional $4

00,000 between today and retirement. As his planner, you assume that inflation will average 5 percent. You are also confident that you can build a portfolio that will generate an 8 percent compounded annual after-tax return.

Answer:

$73,070.5

Explanation:

Inflation erodes the value of money. It makes more quantity of money to required to buy the same basket of food and services in the future.

With inflation, to calculate the the quantity of Dollars needed in n years time, we use the formula;

Inflated amount = h × (1 + f)^n

h= amount required today, f - inflation rate, n- number of years

So if Farrell needs $400,000 in 6 years time in real terms, with an inflation of 5% per year, he would need to have a quantity of money equal to

1.05^6 × 400,000 = $536,038.3.

To provide for $536,038.3  in 6 years time, he would need to contribute into a sinking fund on a yearly basis, an equal amount denoted as "A" in the formula below:

FV = A ×  ((1+r)^n  - 1)/r

FV - 536,038.3, r - 8%, n = 6

536,038.3 = A × ((1+0.08 )^(6) - 1)/0.08)

536, 038.3 = A × 7.3359

536,038.3/7.3359 = A

$73,070.5  = A

Farrell should invest at the end of every year

$73,070.5

QS 19-10 Computing contribution margin LO P2 D’Souza Company sold 6,000 units of its product at a price of $88.00 per unit. Tota
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$218,400

Explanation:

The computation of contribution margin is here below:-

                                               Units       Cost per unit         Total

Sales                                     6,000        $88                       $528,000

Less:

Variable production cost     6,000        $40.8                  $244,800

Variable selling and

administrative costs        6,000         $10.8                   $64,800

Contribution margin                                                           $218,400

Therefore the we multiplied the sale unit with cost per unit, in the similar way we multiplied the Variable production cost unit with cost per unit and Variable selling and administrative costs with cost per unit to reach the contribution margin.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Safety Needs

Explanation:

If Helène, an industrial sales representative, bought a cellular phone to use if she ever had car trouble while traveling between appointments. The level of Maslow’s need hierarchy that Helène is addressing is Safety Needs

It would have been 'Esteem needs' if Helene was just buying a phone to be in the same class with her friends or she is changing her phone to reflect her class.

However Helene is buying this phone because she wants to keep appointments which falls in the category of employments and hence is a 'Safety need'.

Safety needs in Maslow's hierarchy has to do with the need for security and protection. If Helene's car breaks down, it could also be a threat to her security if she is unable to call for help
