The gaming commission is introducing a new lottery game called Infinite Progresso. The winner of the Infinite Progresso jackpot

will receive $1,000 at the end of January, $1,900 at the end of February, $2,800 at the end of March, and so on up to $10,900 at the end of December. At the beginning of the next year, the sequence repeats starting at $1,000 in January and ending at $10,900 in December. This annual sequence of payments repeats indefinitely. If the gaming commission expects to sell a minimum of 800,000 tickets, what is the minimum price they can charge for the tickets to break even, assuming the commission earns 12.00 %/year/month on its investments and there is exactly one winning ticket

Answer:

$0.73

Explanation:

Interest = 12%  = 1% per month

The sequence of monthly payment for indefinite years

$1000, $1900, $28000......... $10900

This means that the monthly payment increases by $900

The equivalent monthly payment can be calculated as

= 1000 + 900 ( A/G , 1% , 12 )

= 1000 + 900 * 5.3814

= 1000 + 4843.26

= $5843.26

present worth of withdrawal = 5843.26 / 1% = $584326

<u>The minimum price that the company will have to sell its ticket to breakeven </u>

= 584326 / 800000

= $0.73

Mila [183]

Answer: Cost of Goods sold

Explanation:

Common size analysis refers to making all entries in the income statement, a percentage of sales for that year.

Current Year                                                      Prior Year

Sales                                      100%                           100%

Cost of Goods sold               75.7%                          46.5%

Gross Profit                            24.3%                          53.5%

Operating expenses             17.3%                             35%

Net Income                              7.0%                            18.5%

<em>Looking at the percentages above, one can see that the COGS increased the most from the previous year by going from 46.5% to 75.7% representing an increase of 29.2%.</em>

<em>This had the most impact on Net income as it substantially reduced Gross profit. </em>

Theresa’s Flower Garden has 750 bonds outstanding that are selling for $989 each, 2,500 shares of preferred stock with a market
Sidana [21]

Answer:

weight of preferred stock = 4.63 %

Explanation:

given data

Number of outstanding bonds = 750

selling price  = $989 each

preferred stock = 2,500 shares

market price = $47 a share

number of common stock = 30,000

common stock valued = $56 share

solution

we first get here total market value that is express as

total market value  = Number of outstanding bonds × selling price per bond + number of preferred stock × market price per share + number of common stock × par value per share    ......................1

put here value and we get

total market value = 750 × $989 + 2,500 × $47 + 30,000 × $56

solve it we get

total market value = $2539250

and

here now we get weight of preferred stock that will be

weight of preferred stock = Total value of preferred stock ÷ total market value × 100   .........................2

put here value

weight of preferred stock = ( 2,500 × $47 ) ÷ $2539250  × 100

weight of preferred stock = 4.63 %

Upon deduction of all qualified company gains for the current year, the excess of the income shall be rolled forward to the next tax year. The unfavorable balance shall be shifted into the next fiscal year.

If the loss was incurred after 2018, the excluded or lost element is included in QBI and would otherwise be included in QBI, but is included in taxable income not until the year.
