Answer:
Vaughn should produce Plain as it makes greater profit.
Explanation:
Vaughn Manufacturing can sell all the units it can produce of either Plain or Fancy but not both.
Plain has a unit contribution margin of $86 and takes two machine hours to make and Fancy has a unit contribution margin of $111 and takes three machine hours to make.
There are 2400 machine hours available to manufacture a product.
Profit per machine hour for Plain
= 
= $43
Profit per machine hour for Fancy
= 
= $37
The difference in profit

= $6
Plain makes $6 more profit per machine hour than Fancy.
Answer:
Invest at a minimum of 7.5% annual simple interest
Explanation:
Given the goal of purchasing a boat that will cost $30,000 in 20 years, David needs to earn an interest computed below on his investment in the savings account.
Interest required = 30,000 - 12,000
= 18,000
Therefore the minimum rate of interest that will achieve this goal,
= Principal * rate * time = target amount
= 12,000 * R * 20 years = 18,000
= R = 18,000/(12,000*20) = 0.075 = 7.5%.
In addition, David could also continue his saving from his teaching job. This will reduce the minimum investment return required to achieve the goal.
