Answer:

B. $132,000.

Solution : Segment margin is calculated by deducting all expenses that are directly traceable to the segment. it doesn't include corporate common expenses.

So, Contribution = 50000 x(10-6) = $ 200000

Less : Direct fixed cost                ($ 68000)

                Segment Margin          $ 132000

You are the payables accountant for a medium sized electrical contracting company. You are paying bills with purchase discounts
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Memo

To: The Finance Manager

From: The Payables Accountant

Subject: Bank Loan to Pay Suppliers

Date: October 5, 2020

The above subject on our previous discussion refers.

This memo clarifies the advantage of borrowing from our bank the sum of $100,000 in order to offset the account of our supplier who has offered us the trade terms of 2/10, n/30.

Recall that the bank loan's interest rate is 6% per annum.  If we borrow within the month and repay 30 days after, the interest cost will be $500 ($100,000 * 6%/12).

You can compare this to the discount we shall receive from the supplier totaling $2,000 ($100,000 * 2%).  We can even extend the bank loan to 2 months, thereby paying a total interest cost of $1,000 ($500 * 2).

The implication is that we shall be making some gains by taking advantage of the cash discount.  May you approve the loan based on this clarifications.

Regards,

Tony Ohagwam

Explanation:

This memorandum attempts to justify the request for a bank loan in order to settle the bill of one of our company's suppliers.  It demonstrates the huge financial benefits that are implicit in accepting cash discounts from suppliers.

Diamond Machine Technology has invested $250,000 in developing a sharpener. Each sharpener costs $3 to make. In addition, fixed
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Diamond Machine Technology

a) Markup price = $4.03

b) Target return price = $3.60

Explanation:

Investment = $250,000

Cost of each sharpener = $3

Additional fixed costs = $10,000

Quantity of sharpeners to sell for the year= 100,000

Markup on sales = 30%

Return on Investment (ROI) = 20%

Markup price = (($3 * 100,000) + $10,000))* 1.3

= $403,000 /100,000 = $4.03

Return on Investment:

Profit for the year = 100,000($4.03 - $3) - $10,000 = $93,000

ROI = $93,000/$250,000 * 100 = 37.2%

Target revenue = (20% of $250,000) + $310,000 = $360,000

Target return price = $360,000/100,000 = $3.60

On January 1, Boston Company completed the following transactions (use a 7% annual interest rate for all transactions): (FV of $
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the remaining part to complete the question:

1. In transaction (a), determine the present value of the debt.

2-a. In transaction (b), what single sum amount must the company deposit on January 1,?

2-b. What is the total amount of interest revenue that will be earned?

3. In transaction (c), determine the present value of this obligation.

4-a. In transaction (d), what is the amount of each of the equal annual payments that will be paid on the note?

4-b. What is the total amount of interest expense that will be incurred?

Explanation:

a) A sum of $6,000 is to be paid at the end of each year for 7 years and the principal amount $115,000 to be paid at the end of 7th year.

PV=$6,000/(1+0.07)^1 + $6,000/(1+0.07)^2 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^3 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^4 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^5 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^6 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^7 +$115,000/(1+0.07)^7

PV=$5,607.47 + $5,240.63 + $4,897.78 + $4,577.37 + $4,277.91 + $3,998.05 + $3,736.49 + $71,616.22

PV=$103,951.92

b) Let the single sum that will grow to $490,000 at 7% interest per annum at the end of 8 years be X

FV=PV(1+i)^n

$490,000 = X(1+0.07)^8

Thus,

X= $490,000/(1.07)^8

X = $490,000/1.7182

X = $285,182

Thhus, a single sum of $285,182 needs to be deposited for 8 years at 7% interest p.a.

The total amount of interest revenue is ($490,000-$285,182) = $204,818

c) PV = $75,000/(1.07)^1 + $112,500/(1.07)^2 + 150,000/(1.07)^3

PV = $70,093.45 + $98,261.85 + $122,444.68

= $290,800

FV =$75,000*(1.07)^1 + $112,500*(1.07)^2 + 150,000*(1.07)^3

= $80,250 + $85,867 + $91,878

= $257,995

d) The cost of the machine is $170,000. Immediate cash paid $34,000. Loan Amount is ($170,000-$34,000)=$136,000

The PVA factor at 7% p.a compounded annually for 5 years is 4.1002

Thus, the PMT = 136,000/4.1002

= $33,169

Thus, the amount of each annual payment is $33,169 for 5 years.

The total amount to be paid is ($34,000+$33,169*5)

=$34,000+$165845

=$199845

The interest expense is ($199845 - $170,000)

= $29,845
