You want to have $12,500 in 10 years for a dream vacation. If you can earn an interest rate of .3 percent per month, how much will you have to deposit today?
Answer:
$8,778
Explanation:
To find the amount of money that you will have to deposit today, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:
PV=FV/(1+i)^n
PV= present value
FV= future value= 12,500
i= interest rate= 0.003*12(to calculate the rate per year)= 0.036
n= number of periods of time= 10
PV=12,500/(1+0.036)^10
PV=12,500/1.424
PV=8,778
According to this, you will have to deposit today $8,778.

What is the amount of cost of goods manufactured for the year?
Answer:
$510,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of cost of goods manufactured for the year
Two method can be used in calculating the cost of goods manufactured for the year
METHOD 1
Using this formula
Cost of goods manufactured= Beginning Balance Cost of goods sold + Ending Balance Finishing goods ending balance
Where,
Beginning Balance of Cost of goods sold = $460,000
Ending Balance Finishing goods = $510,000 -$460,000 = 50,000
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods manufactured=$460,000+$50,000
Cost of goods manufactured=510,000
OR METHOD 2
Calculation for the cost of good manufactured for the year
Beginning work in process $0
Direct material $132,000
Direct labor $168,000
Manufacturing overhead $210,000
Less: Ending work in process $0
Cost of goods manufactured $510,000
Therefore the amount of cost of goods manufactured for the year will be $510,000

The offering price of an open-end fund is $12.30 per share and the fund is sold with a front-end load of 5%. What is its net asset value?
Answer:
$11.685
Explanation:
Calculation for the net asset value
Since the front-end load is 5% this means that we are going to deduct 5% from 100% which will give us 95%, therefore 95% will be our front-end load percentage.
Now let find the Net asset value
Using this formula
Net asset value=Front-end load Percentage × Offering price
Let plug in the formula
Net asset value=95%×$12.30
Net asset value=$11.685
Therefore the Net asset value will be $11.685

Unitary variable cost= $12
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price
contribution margin ratio= (20 - 12) / 20
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
The contribution margin ratio is 0.4.The contribution margin ratio is the difference between company sales and variable costs, expressed as a percentage.
What is the contribution margin ratio?The total margin generated by an entity represents the amount of revenue available to cover fixed costs and generate profits.

You write a call option on Google. The current price of one share of Google is $400, the option strike price is $410, and the option premium is $5 (all prices are per share). On the expiration day, the price of Google is $425. The following statement is true:
A) The call is in the money
B) your payoff is negative
C) your payoff is positive and equal to 10
D) A and B
E) A and C
Answer: E) A and C
Explanation:
A Call option is an option to buy a security at a certain price in future. The option is only exercised if the market price of the security is higher than the option price of the security. When this happens the Call is said to be in the money. On expiration day, the price of Google is $425 which is higher than the option price of $410 so the Call is in the money. Option A is correct.
The option premium is the amount paid for the option contract and so is an expense. Payoff is calculated as;
= Market Value - (Option Price + Option premium)
= 425 - ( 410 + 5)
= $10
Option C is correct as well.

Answer:
Kindly check the explanation section because the answer is long.
Explanation:
(1). Date: December 16.
Details: Equipment = 140,000 × .46 = 64,400.
Accounts payable(Sfr) = 140,000 × .46 = 64,400.
Foreign currency received from broker(Sfr) = 140,000 × .45 = 63,000.
Dollar payable to exchange broker($) 140,000 × .45 = 63,000.
(2). Date: December 31.
Details= foreign currency transaction loss = 140,000 × ( .48 - .46) = 2,800
Revaluation of Accounts payable(Sfr) = 140,000 × ( .48 - .46) = 2,800
Foreign currency received from broker (Sfr) = 140,000 × (.475 - .45) = 3,500.
Foreign currency transaction gain= 140,000 × (.475 - .45) = 3,500.
(3). Date : February 14.
Details: Foreign currency transaction loss = 140,000 × (.475 - .47) = 700
Foreign currency receivable from broker = 140,000 × (.475 - .47) = 700
Account payable = 140,000 × (.47 - .48) = - 1,400 = 1,400.
Foreign currency transaction Gain= 140,000 × (.47 - .48) = - 1,400 = 1,400
Dollars payable to exchange broker = 140,000 × .45 = 63,000
Cash = (140,000 × .45) = 63,000
Foreign currency uni(Sfr) = 140,000 × .47 = 65,800.
Foreign currency receivable from broke(Sfr) = 140,000 × .47 = 65,800.
Accounts payable(Sfr) =140,000 × .47 =65,800.
Foreign currency units(Sfr) = 140,000 × .47 = 65,800.

Paragon Properties built a shopping center at a cost of $50M in year 2010. The company started leasing space in July of 2014. The land was purchased for $5M. Determine the depreciation charges through 2017 if the property was sold in November 2017.
Year = 2014
Cost= $50 M - $5 M = $45 M
Rate =1.177%
Depreciation= 1.177% * $45 M = $529,650
Year=2015
Cost = $45 M
Rate= 2.564%
Depreciation= $45 M * 2.564% = $1,153,800
Year = 2016
Cost = $45 M
Rate =2.564%
Depreciation= $45 M * 2.564% = $1,153,800
Year = 2017
Cost = $45 M
Rate =2.564%
Depreciation= $45 M * 2.564% = $1,153,800
therefore, total depreciation= $1,153,800 + $1,153,800 + $1,153,800 + $529,650 = $3,991,050
Depreciation charges through 2017 = $3,991,050 .
The Depreciation charges through 2017, if property was sold in November 2017 will be $3,991,050.
DepreciationIn the following question we are provided with information as follows:
The Value of the Property in the year 2010 = $50M. The Company started leasing space in July of 2014.
Land was purchased for $5M, which means the Cost of property is now $50M - $5M = $45M. The Depreciation rate in 2014 is 1.17%,
Depreciation value in 2014 = $45M × 1.17 =Depreciation rate in 2016 = 2.5%, Depreciation value = $45M × 2.5% = $529,650
Depreciation rate in 2015 = 2.5%, which give Depreciation value in 2015 = $45M × 2.5% = $1,153,800.
Depreciation rate in 2016 = 2.5%, Depreciation value = $45M × 2.5% = $1,153,800.
Depreciation rate in 2017 = 2.5%, Depreciation value = $45M × 2.5% = $1,153,800.
Therefore, Total Depreciation value in 2017 = $529,650 + $1,153,800 + $1,153,800 + $1,153,800 = $3,991,050

The company has just paid a dividend of $2 per share and has announced that it will increase the dividend by $6 per share for each of the next five years, and then never pay another dividend. If yoy require a return of 10 percent on the company's stock, how much will you pay for a share today?
Answer:
Price of stock = $44.05

The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
To determine the price of the stock to , we calculate the present value for each of the dividend payable for the next five years and then sum them.
The formula below would help
PV = G× (1+r)^(-n)
PV = Present Value, r required rate of return - 10%, n- the year, G- dividend payable in a particular year
Year PV of dividend
1 2+6 ×× 1.1^-1 = 7.27
2 10 × 1.1^-2 = 8.26
3 12× 1.1^-3 = 9.02
4 14 × 1.1^-4 =9.56
5 16 × 1.1^-5 = 9.93
Total Present Value of dividend = 7.27 + 8.26 +9.02 +9.56 +9.93 = 44.05
Price of stock = $44.05
