Answer:
The aggregate budgeted selling expense for the month of February amounts to $20,900
Explanation:
Selling expense budget is the plan which estimate the selling expense which happen in that period or year or month. It is related to the marketing as well as selling the product to customers. And involve advertising expense, commission, delivery cost and signs.
The aggregate budgeted selling expense for the month of February is computed as:
Aggregate budgeted selling expense = Commission + Monthly Salary of Sales manager + Advertising expense
where
Commission is as:
Commission = Sales × 5%
= $318,000 × 5%
= $15,900
Monthly Salary of Sales manager is $3,700
Advertising expense is $1,300
So,
Aggregate budgeted selling expense = $15,900 + $3,700 + $1,300
Aggregate budgeted selling expense = $20,900
Answer:
(b) 1440
Explanation:
As the coupon rate of 8% is greater than the yield to maturity (YTM) of 6% annually, the bond is selling at a premium. Hence, the bond will be called at the earliest i.e. 15 years.
Coupon = Call Price * Semi-annual coupon rate = X * [0.08 / 2] = X * 0.04
Yield to call = 6% annually = 3% semi-annually
Time = 15 years * 2 = 30
We know that,
Current Price of bond = Coupon * [1 - (1 + YTC)-call date] / YTC + Call Price / (1 + YTC)call date
- 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * [1 - (1 + 0.03)-30] / 0.03 + [X / (1 + 0.03)30]
- 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * 19.60 + [X * 0.41]
- 1,722.25 = X * [(0.04 * 19.60) + 0.41]
- X = 1,722.25 / 1.194
-
X=$ 1,442.42 \approx $ 1,440
Answer:
a. 9.43%
Explanation:
IRR is the rate of return that makes initial investment equal to present value of cash inflows
Initial investment = Annuity*[1 - 1 /(1 + r)^n] /r
1250 = 325 * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)^5] /r
Using trial and error method, i.e., after trying various values for R, lets try R as 9.43%
1250 = 325 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.0943)5] /0.0943
1250 = 325 * 3.846639
1250 = 1,250
Therefore, The project IRR is 9.43%
