Answer:

$281.67

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current selling price of large TV = $380

Cost of Large TV = $310

Selling price of new TV = $340

Increase in sales = 20% = 0.20

Current sales = $150,000

Now,

Expected sales after reducing the price = Current sales + Increase in sales

= 150,000 + ( 0.20 × 150,000 )

= 150,000 + 30,000

= 180,000

Target Operating income = ( $380 - $310 ) × current sales

= $70 × 150,000

= $10,500,000

New operating cost per unit

= Target Operating income ÷ Expected sales after reducing the price

= $10,500,000 ÷  180,000

or

New operating cost per unit = $58.33

Target Cost

= Price after reduction - New operating cost per unit

= $340 - $58.33

= $281.67

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Bond Price = $1294.65063 rounded off to $1294.65

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. Assuming the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.08 = 80

Total periods (n) = 18

r or YTM = 0.054 or 5.4%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 80 * [( 1 - (1+0.054)^-18) / 0.054]  + 1000 / (1+0.054)^18

Bond Price = $1294.65063 rounded off to $1294.65
