We see that for every 8 sandwiches that the customer needs, he will pay for 5. Lets see how many groups of 8 sandwiches the order of 675 sandwiches contains. If we do Euclidean Division we see that there are 84 groups of 8 and that three sandwiches are the remainder. 675/8=84.375; Hence we have 84 groups and 0.375*8=3 sandwiches that remain. Thus, the customer would play for 84*5= 420 sandwiches if he had ordered 84 groups of 8 (namely 672 sandwiches). Since he needs another 3 sandwiches and there is no promotional offer for those, he will have to pay in total for 423 sandwiches. It is important to not divide the total number by 8 and then multiply it by 5; the customer gets the free sandwiches only if he completes an offer of 5 sandwiches, thus we have to group the sandwiches in octads and deal with the remainder separately.
Answer: 1. 18 times
2. Park is in better position
Explanation:
1. Times interest earned is a financial ratio that measures interest coverage. It's essentially to check if a company can pay it's debt payments and is calculated by either EBIT or EBITDA divided by the total interest expense. The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.
Calculating would therefore be,
= $6,120,000 /$340,000
= 18 times.
2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.

Answer: $147
Explanation:
First find what 40% of $245.00 is:
= 40% * 245
= $98.00
The boots are sold at a discount of 40%. This means that 40% - which is $98 - was deducted from the value.
The selling price is therefore:
= 245 - 98
= $147
