In Mortenson's multiple-step income statement, what will be the value of the gross profit/margin? |
John won the lottery that will pay him $100,000.00 at the end of each of the next 20 years. | ||||||||
Assuming an appropriate interest rate is 8% compounded annually, how much is this | ||||||||
total lottery winnings worth today? |
Gross Profit
is calculated by deducting Cost of Goods Sold ($120000.55)
from Net Sales. Formula for calculating Net Sales = Sales
Revenue - Sales Revenue Refund
=> $200000.59 - $9000.54
=> $191000.05 (Net Sales)
Hence, Gross Profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold
= $191000.05 - $120000.55
= 70999.5
And Gross Profit margin = (Gross Profit / Net Sales)
= ($70999.5 / $191000.05) = 37.1725%
In order to calculate total lottery winnings worth today, we can
use Formula of Present value of Annuity which is as follows:
PV = A [ {1- (1+i)^-n} / i]
where, PV is Present Total value of lottery
winnings worth today
A is Annuity or in this case - $100000 lottery
paid at the end of each year
i is the annual compound interest rate which is
8%
n is the number of years for which lottery will be
paid which is 20 years
Now applying the above formula using the given information, we
see that
PV = $100000 [ {1- (1+ 0.08)^-20} / 0.08]
Hence, PV of Total Lottery winnings worth today is equal to $
1250000
