During 2009, a particular country's inflation rate averaged 1.3% a day. This means that on average, prices went up by about 1.3%

Answer:

• What is the sales revenue in the worst-case scenario?

$ 125,032

Explanation:

Initial Scenario

TOTAL     Income Statement Unit   Quantity

$ 1,035,200 Total Net Sales       $ 647  1.600  

-$ 352,000 Variable Cost          $ 220  

-$ 64,000 Depreciation Expenses  

$ 619,200 Contributing Margin  

-$ 438,000 Annual Fixed Costs  

$ 181,200 Segment Margin  

Worst Case Scenario

Quantity drops by 3% from 1,600 to 1,552

Price decreases by 2% from $647 to $634

Variable Cost rises by 2% from $220 to $224

Annual Fixed Cost climbs by 2% from $438,000 to $446,760

Depreciation Expenses remain constant.

TOTAL Income Statement Unit Quantity

$ 984,061 Total Net Sales $ 634  1.552  

-$ 348,269 Variable Cost         $ 224  

-$ 64,000 Depreciation Expenses  

$ 571,792 Contributing Margin  

-$ 446,760 Annual Fixed Costs  

$ 125,032 Segment Margin

Answer:

Prices decline, yields increase

Explanation:

There exists an inverse relationship between bond prices and yields, meaning that if the borrower's creditworthiness is questioned, the bond's price falls while its yield rises.

In the given context, due to doubts about the borrower's reliability, we would expect a decline in price along with an uptick in yield.

Answer:

a-1) Present value of the installment option is $93.08.

      Present value for immediate bill payment is $90.

a2) Opting to pay the bill immediately is the preferable choice.

b-1) Present value of the installment option amounts to $88.65.

b-2) In this scenario, paying in installments is the better option.

Explanation:

a-1) To determine the present value of the installment plan, the payments occur as follows: $25 immediately, followed by $25 at the end of each of the next 3 years. This setup constitutes an annuity due, and the present value can be calculated as follows:

PMT denotes the annuity payment at the start of each period, which is $25.

             i signifies the interest rate compounded per period.

=0.05

            n represents the number of payment periods, which amounts to 4.

Present value = =$93.08

The present value of immediate bill payment equals $100, reduced by the 10% discount, calculated as $100 * 0.9 = $90.

a-2) Paying immediately is advantageous since it costs $90 compared to the $93.08 present value of installments.

b1) If the installment payments do not commence for another year, the present value of the payment series is computed as:

                                          =

                                          = = 88.65

b-2) In this instance, paying via installments is better as it is less expensive at $88.65 compared to the immediate payment's present value at $90.

$4,800 Explanation: The calculation for the increased annual cash inflow is detailed below: Savings from the new machine's annual maintenance costs = $15,000 - $6,000 = $9,000 Net maintenance savings = $9,000 × (1 - 0.4) = $5,400 Reduction in depreciation due to acquiring new equipment = ($60,000 ÷ 10) - ($45,000 - 10) = $6,000 - $4,500 = $1,500 Tax implications from decreased depreciation = $1,500 × 0.4 = $600 Net annual cash inflow associated with new machinery = Net maintenance savings - Tax impact = $5,400 - $600 = $4,800. Hence, this process yielded the computed additional annual cash inflow.
