Answer:

We should discontinue Wimpy and we will be saving $2,000 as addition to the Net Margin.

Fixed Expenses will be incurred whether we produce or not, thus the deciding factor is a segment being able to generate a positive Contribution Margin.

By discontinuing Wimpy the allocated Fixed Expense will go up to $12,500 Per active unit from $10,000. Although Wimpy will yet retain its Fixed Expense.

If we stop to produce Mild we would lose $45,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $50,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

If we stop to produce Medium we would lose $35,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $28,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

If we stop to produce Hot we would lose $50,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $40,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

If we stop to produce Atomic we would lose $162,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $68,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

ololo11 [35]

In 2016, Saratoga Company had the following financial data: Operating income $320,000 Interest received $50,000 Interest paid $90,000 Dividend received $100,000 Dividend paid $150,000 Dividend of $100,000 was received from Findlay Inc. which is one of the companies that Saratoga company invest. As of the end of 2016, Saratoga Company owns 35% of Findlay, Inc.

Using the corporate tax rate table given below, what was the company’s tax Liability (just federal corporate income tax) for the year 2008?

335,000 - 10,000,000 34% 113,900 + .34x(inc>335,000)

Answer:

$78,200

Explanation:

From the given information:

Operating income = $320,000

Interest received = $50,000

Interest paid = $90000

Dividend received = $100000

Dividend paid        = $150,000

Therefore:

Saratoga Company Total Income = Operating income + Interest Received + Dividend Received  - Interest Paid - Dividend paid

Saratoga Company Total Income = $320,000 + $50,000 + $100,000 - $90,000 - $ 150,000

Saratoga Company Total Income = $470000 - $ 240000

Saratoga Company Total Income =  $230,000

According to the table given ;

The table tax percentage = 34 %

= $230,000  × 0.34

= $78,200

You are planning to buy 2019 MINI Cooper on a loan. Price of the car is $26,000. You are planning to make monthly payments for t
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$1,223.91

Explanation:

As per the concept of time value of money, the value of money today is more than the value of money tomorrow.

Given:

Price of car = $26,000

Interest rate 12%, compounded monthly

Tenure = 2 years

Now, Price of the car is the value of money today to purchase the car. So, while computing the monthly payment for car $26,000 will be considered as present value.

Monthly payment for car can be computed easily using Microsoft excel.

Use the following mentioned formula to calculate the monthly payment.

"=PMT(rate,nper,pv,[fv])"

wherein,

Rate = 12%/2 (because it has been compounded monthly)

nper = 2*12 (because 2 years are to be compounded monthly.)

Pv = $26,000 (as mentioned earlier)

Since, there is no Fv so it blank.

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)  

n= ln(1,728/1,091) / ln(1.12)

n= 4.058 years

It will take 10.058 years from today.
