Answer:
$127,500
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated benefit is given below;
In the case when the sunglow does not applied the service in the year 2, so the loss in revenue is
= $4500 per day per road × 1 road × 16 days + $4500 per day per road × 2 roads × 10 days + $35000 × 1 day
= $72,000 + $90,000 + $35,000
= $197,000
Now in the case when it applied the service in year 2, so the expenses incurred is
= $50,000 + $500 per day per blocked road × 1 road × 16 days + $500 per day per blocked road × 2 roads × 10 days + $500 per day per blocked road × 3 roads × 1 day
= $50,000 + $8,000 + $10,000 + $1,500
= $69,500
So, the net benefit is
= $197,000 - $69,500
= $127,500

You are considering investing in a bank account that pays a nominal annual rate of 7%, compounded monthly. If you invest $3,000 at the end of each month, how many months will it take for your account to grow to $275,000
Answer:
To answer is 73.6 months(approximately 74 days)
Explanation:
Future value (FV) = $275,000
Annual interest rate(i) = 7%
Monthly interest rate = 0.58%(7/13)
Periodic cash outflow (PMT) = $3,000
Number of months (N) = ?
Using a texas BA II Plus calculator
FV = 275,000; PMT = -3,000; I/Y = 0.583 CPT N= 73.6
Therefore the number of months is 73.6 months. Approximately, 74 days

In 2007, Gillette saw an opportunity to capture the market of 500 million Indians who used double edge razors with no protection between the blade and the skin. Gillette sought to make an inexpensive and safe disposable razor. Their first product, The Vector failed because it always clogs. What do you think went wrong
Answer:
Gillette in India
The failure of the Vector was caused by the fact that Indian men have longer and thicker hair, which the lack of earlier research in the targeted demographic segment did not discover.
Explanation:
Since Indian men have longer and thicker hair than the local consumers of Gillette's razor products in America, an earlier research would have uncovered the fact. Thereafter, the discovery would have been incorporated into the design and production of Vector for the Indian market. No wonder, with its Mach 3 Turbo razor, Gillette overcame its initial inertia and handicap and made a success of the razor business in India.
What should be the function of money? What do you mean by M2?
subject Macroeconomics, please please help...
Money is any object in which you can exchange for goods or services. We consider this currency. Money is also a store of value so that you can get those goods and services at a later time (so you don't have to immediately use up the currency right away if you don't need to).
If at some future date, the unit of money isn't able to purchase as much as it used to, then we say that inflation has occurred. For example, if a loaf of bread costs $1 today but then $5 ten years from now, then we say inflation has kicked in.
-------------------------
Before we talk about M2, it helps to start with M0. That's a zero and not the letter 'oh'. In economics, M0 is the total collection of all cash (bills and coins) that are in circulation. This means we're just talking about physical things people can touch. Building to M1, it involves everything M0 talks about plus things like travelers checks and demand deposits. So if you're talking about M1, then you involve all physical cash as well.
Then finally moving to M2, it involves everything M0 and M1 does, plus savings accounts and time deposits. By "time deposits", I mean things like mutual funds and money market accounts. Basically things you may hear about when talking about wall street.
In short, M2 involves all physical cash plus other electronic stores of value (this is a fairly vague definition but it may work in many settings). It does not involve large time deposits as that is what M3 handles.
Solve for the unknown interest rate in each of the following (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.):
Present Value Years Interest Rate Future Value
181 5 $ 317
335 17 1,080
48,000 13 185,382
40,353 30 531,618
Answer:
11.86%
7.13%
19.95%
8.97%
Explanation:
interest rate = [tex]\frac{future value}{present value}}^{\frac{1}{n} } - 1[/tex]
(317/181)^ (1/5) - 1 = 11.86%
1080/335)^(1/17) - 1 = .13%
(185,382/48,000)^(1/13) - 1 = 19.95%
(531,618 / 40,353)^(1/30) - 1 = 8.97%
The interest rate in the 1 case is 5.01%, 2 case is 5.79%, 3 case is 8.05%, 4 case is 10.60%.
What is interest rate?An interest rate is the amount of interest owed per period, as a quotient of the amount lent, deposited, or borrowed.
Computation of the interest rates :The formula for future value is:
[tex]\text{FV}= \text{PV} \ (1+r)^n[/tex]
where,
PV=present value
r=interest rate
n =number of periods/ years
FV = future value.
Then, the formula for finding r is :
[tex]\text{FV}= \text{PV} \ (1+r)^n\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{FV}}{\text{PV}})^\dfrac{1}{\text{n}-1}[/tex]
case1:put the above formula in case 1 we get:
[tex]r= (\dfrac{\text{\$231}}{\text{\$190}})^\dfrac{1}{4}-1}\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{\$231}}{\text{\$190}})^{0.25-1}\\\\r=(1.21578947)^{0.25-1}\\\\r=1.05006116 -1\\\\r=0.05006116\times100\\\\r=5.01%[/tex]
case2:Put the above formula in case 2 we get:
[tex]r= (\dfrac{\text{\$854}}{\text{\$310}})^\dfrac{1}{18}-1}\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{\$854}}{\text{\$310}})^{0.0555-1}\\\\r=(2.75483871)^{0.0555-1}\\\\r=1.05785304 -1-1\\\\r=0.05785304\times100\\\\r=5.79%.[/tex]
case3:Put the above formula in case 3 we get:
[tex]r= (\dfrac{\text{\$1,48,042}}{\text{\$34,000}})^\dfrac{1}{19}-1}\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{\$1,48,042}}{\text{\$34,000}})^{0.0526-1}\\\\r=(4.35417647)^{0.0526-1}\\\\r=1.08045444 -1\\\\r=0.08045444\times100\\\\r=8.05%[/tex]
case4:Put the above formula in case 4 we get:
[tex]r= (\dfrac{\text{\$412,862}}{\text{\$36,261}})^\dfrac{1}{25}-1}\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{\$412,862}}{\text{\$36,261}})^{0.04-1}\\\\r=(12.4127958)^{0.04-1}\\\\r=1.10599913 -1\\\\r=0.10599913\times100\\\\r=10.60%.[/tex]

U.S. manufacturing company operating a subsidiary in an LDC (less-developed country) shows the following results: U.S. LDC Sales (units) 98,000 19,980 Labor (hours) 20,600 15,600 Raw materials (currency) $ 19,950 19,750 (FC) Capital equipment (hours) 59,250 5,600 *Foreign Currency unit a. Calculate partial labor and capital productivity figures for the parent and subsidiary. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. Compute the multifactor productivity figures for labor and capital together. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) c. Calculate raw material productivity figures (units/$ where $1
Answer:
a. Productivity = Sales /Labour Hour
U.S
Productivity = 98000 units/20600 hours
Productivity = 4.76
LDC
Productivity = 19980 units/15600 hours
Productivity = 1.28
Capital Productivity = Sales / Capital Equipment (Hours)
U.S
Capital Productivity = 98000 units/59250 hours
Capital Productivity = 1.65
LDC
Capital Productivity = 19980 units/5600 hours
Capital Productivity = 3.57
b. Multi-factor Productivity = Total Output (Sales) / (Labour Hours + Capital Equipment Hours)
U.S
Multi-factor Productivity = 98000 units/(20600+59250)
Multi-factor Productivity = 98000 units / 79850 hours
Multi-factor Productivity = 1.23
LDC
Multi-factor Productivity = 19980 units / (15600+5600)
Multi-factor Productivity = 19980 units / 21200 hours
Multi-factor Productivity = 0.94
c. Raw Material Productivity = Sales / Raw Materials Currency
U.S
Raw Material Productivity = 98000 units/$19950
Raw Material Productivity = 4.91
LDC
Raw Material Productivity = 19980 units / (19750 /10)
Raw Material Productivity = 19980 units / $1975
Raw Material Productivity = 10.12

When a perfectly competitive firm decides to shut down, Group of answer choices marginal cost is above average variable cost.
Answer:
price is below average variable cost
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
firms should shutdown when price is less than average variable cost and exit when price is less than average total cost
Galvatron Metals has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $949 and matures in 25 years. The par value is $1,000 and the company's tax rate is 39 percent. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
The right response is "4.102%".
Explanation:
Given:
Number of half years,
n = [tex]25\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]50[/tex]
Coupon per half years,
c = [tex]1000\times \frac{6.3 \ percent}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]31.5[/tex]
Price,
pv = 949
Par value,
= 1000
Now,
The YTM will be:
= [tex]rate(n,c,-pv,fv)\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]rate(50,31.5,-949,1000)\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]6.724[/tex] (%)
hence,
After tax cost of debt will be:
= [tex]YTM\times (1-tax \ rate)[/tex]
= [tex]6.724\times (1-39)[/tex]
= [tex]4.102[/tex] (%)

a. $14, 709, 481.
b. $15,000,000.
c. $14, 718, 844.
d. $14, 706, 232.
Answer:
Using effective-interest amortization, the approximate carrying value of the bonds on Dec 31, 2020 balance sheet is:
a. $14, 709, 481.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds = $15,000,000
Bonds price = 14,703,108
Bonds discount = $296,892
Coupon interest rate = 7.8%
Effective interest rate = 8%
Interest payments on June 30 and December 31
June 30, 2020:
Interest expense = $588,124 ($14,703,108 * 4%)
Cash payment = $585,000 ($15,000,000 * 3.9%)
Amortization of discount = $3,124 ($588,124 - $585,000)
Bonds payable = $14,706,232 ($14,703,108 + $3,124)
December 31, 2020:
Interest expense = $588,249 ($14,706,232 * 4%)
Cash payment = $585,000 ($15,000,000 * 3.9%)
Amortization of discount = $3,249 ($588,249 - $585,000)
Bonds payable = $14,709,481 ($14,706,232 + $3,249)

The chart shows the lowest price of the Microsoft stock over the last year and the highest price. If you had purchased the stock at the low point and sold it as the high point, what percent increase (to the nearest whole percent) in the price of the stock would you have experienced
Answer:
The percent increase (to the nearest whole percent) in the price of the stock you would have experienced is 34%.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the Chart is not included. To complete the question, the chart is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached image for the chart.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
From the chart, we can identify the following:
52 week range 55.61 - 74.42
The above implies that:
The low point = 55.61
The high point = 74.42
Therefore, we have:
Percent increase in the price of the stock = ((The high point - The low point) / The low point) * 100 = ((74.42 - 55.61) / 55.61) * 100 = 34%
Therefore, the percent increase (to the nearest whole percent) in the price of the stock you would have experienced is 34%.

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $100. Use z-table.
a. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?
Answer:
The CPA Practice Advisor
The probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean is:
= 56%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Population mean (preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns) = $273
Population standard deviation of preparation fees = $100
Mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns = $257 (which is within $16 of the population mean)
z = (x-μ)/σ
z = standard score
x = observed value
μ = mean of the sample
σ = standard deviation of the sample
Z = ($273 - $257)/$100
= 0.16
Using the z-table
P = 0.5636
Sommers Co.'s bonds currently sell for $1,080 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay a $100 annual coupon and have a 15-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,125. What is their yield to maturity (YTM)
Answer:
9.01%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine their yield to maturity (YTM)
We would be using financial calculation to determine their yield to maturity (YTM)
N =15 years
PV=$1,080
PMT=$100
FV=$1,000
Hence,
I/YR=YTM=9.01%
Therefore their yield to maturity (YTM) is 9.01%
A1 Consulting Services (A1CS) provides various types of consulting services throughout Fiji. It
uses job costing system to accumulate the cost of client projects.
Traceable costs are charged directly to individual clients.
Other costs incurred by A1CS, but not identifiable with specific clients, are charged to jobs by
using a predetermined overhead rate.
Clients are billed for directly chargeable costs, overhead and a markup for the profit margin.
The following costs have been anticipated for the coming year:
Cost Percentage of cost directly
traceable to clients
Professional staff salaries $3 000 000 85%
Administrative support staff 800 000 60%
Travel 400 000 80%
Photocopying 90 000 90%
Other operating costs 200 000 75%
Total $4 490 000. A1CS’s management wishes to make a profit of $1 250 000 for the firm and plans to add
percentage markup on total cost to achieve that figure.

The WACC is used to _______ the expected cash flows when the firm has ____________. Select one: a. decrease; short term financing on the balance sheet b. discount; short term financing on the balance sheet c. discount; debt and equity in the capital structure d. increase; debt and equity in the capital structure
Answer:
c
Explanation:
WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)
weight of debt = D / (D + E)
It is used to discount the expected cash flows when the firm has debt and equity in the capital structure. It is suitable because in the calculation of WACC, debt and equity are included
