Answer:
The amount to save now is = $862.03 (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
In order to solve this, we will compute the end-of-year amounts using the 5% increase each year. This is done as follows:
Year 1 ending = $200
Year 2:
Year 2 beginning price = $200
Note that 5% increase = 5/100 = 0.05
increase in year 2 = 5% of 200 = 0.05 × 200 = 10
Year 2 new price = 200 + 10 = $210
Year 3:
beginning price = $210
increase in year 3 = 0.05 × 210 = $10.5
Year 3 new price = 210 + 10.5 = $220.5
Year 4
beginning price = $220.5
interest in year 4 = 0.05 × 220.5 = 11.025
new price in year 4 = 220.5 + 11.025 = $231.525
Next to calculate the amount needed to pay for one travel ticket per year for the next four years, we will add the prices of the tickets each year as follows:
Total amounts needed = 200 +210 + 220.50 + 231.53 = $862.03
If your a busy small business owner, taking time away from your store makes you less efficient. The trade offs for using this premium service are 1. your spending more money 2. control over quality. Vise versa if your paying more for the “best groceries” then that may not be an issue. Also be aware that another issue is stocking, going to the store yourself does not guarantee that the store will have all items in stock when you go. 3. Time, taking time to grocery shop takes away from your business or the cost of an employee to watch the business or do the shopping for you having you rely on a third party’s judgment. 4. Gas, the cost of gasoline to go to and from the store. If all these are added up then you are essentially paying more for your “in person” groceries as it is. Choosing to grocery shop yourself saves you money (although how much? Once everything is taken into account?) but again the time it takes away is significant. For a busy small business owner time is extremely important and this is why the trade off of cost or added expenses for groceries may be worth it. (I hope this helps guide you in answering this question).
Answer:

Less Variable Costs (139950) (311)
Contribution 59850 133

Explanation:
Part a
Contribution Margin = Contribution/Sales × 100
Therefore contribution margin is ($444-$311)/$444 * 100 = 29.95% (2 d.p)
Part b
Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution
Net Income = Contribution - Total Fixed Costs
Part c
Break Even Point is when Billings neither makers a profit or loss.
Break Even Point ( Units) = Total Fixed Cost/Contribution per unit
Therefore Break Even Point (Units) = $59850/$133 = 450 units
Part d
The total and unit CVP should neither reflect a profit or loss at a capacity of 450 units as this is the break even point. In this case profit = nill
Answer:
26,920
Explanation:
At $10 par value,
Number of authorized shares = 30,000 (given)
Number of issued shares = $270,000/$10 = 27,000 shares
Number of treasury shares = $1,200/$15 = 80 shares
Since Treasury shares do not form part of outstanding shares, they will be deducted from issued shares to obtain outstanding shares
Therefore, number of outstanding shares
= 27,000 - 80
= 26,920 shares
