Answer:
B) $2,86
Explanation:
Using the high-low method we will use the highest activity level and the lowest activity level to determine the variable and fixed portion of the costs.
Highest activity - Cost $ 14182 Hours - 4200
Lowest activity - Cost $ (8748) Hours - (2300)
Difference - $ 5434 1900
Now we determine the variable portion. 5434/1900 = 2,86
Thus the answer is B.
Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A friend of Mr. Richards recently won a law suit for $30 million. They can either take the payments over 10 years or settle today for cash of $25 million. Mr. Richard is optimistic that he can earn a 6% return on the money and that they should settle for $25 million today and he will invest it for them.
First, we need to find the present value of the 30 million.
To do that we need to calculate the final value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000,000*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= 39,542,385
PV= FV/(1+i)^n= 39,542,385/1.06^10= 22,080,261
B) Now we know that the present value of option B is higher. One dollar today is better than one dollar tomorrow. It is better to receive the money now to invest it.
Answer:
Total yield or rate of return is 0.36 or 36%
Explanation:
To calculate rate of return which is also the total yield on the stock, we will use the following formula,
Total Yield = (D + C) / P0
Where,
- D represents dividends paid by the stock during the year
- C is the capital appreciation(pr depreciation) or rise(or fall) in the price of the stock as compared to the purchase price
- P0 is the purchase price or price in Year 0
Total dividends for the year = 1.5 * 4 = $6
C = 130 - 100 = $30
Total Yield = (6 + 30) / 100
Total yield = 0.36 or 36%
