A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production cost will include one time fix costs (such as editi

ng) in variable cost (such as printing). There are two production methods it could use. One method, and one time fix cost will total $15,113, and the variable costs will be $22 per book. With the other method, The one time fixed costs will total $63,848, and the variable costs will be $10.75 per book. For how many books produced will the costs from the two methods be the same ? I NEED THIS ASAP !

For the first method the fix cost is $ 15,113 and the variable cost is $ 22/book.

For the second method the fix cost is $ 63,848 and the variable cost is $ 10.75/book.

Let the number of books be <em>x</em> for which the cost from the two methods is same,

\begin{gathered} 15113+22x=63848+10.75x \\ 11.25x=48735 \\ x=4332 \end{gathered}

Thus, the required number of books is 4332.

How much should a family deposit at the end of every 6 months in order to have $4000 at the end of 3 years? The account pays 5.9
ra1l [238]

We are asked to determine the present value of an annuity that is paid at the end of each period. Therefore, we need to use the formula for present value ordinary, which is:

PV_{ord}=C(\frac{1-(1+i)^{-kn}}{\frac{i}{k}})

Where:

\begin{gathered} C=\text{ payments each period} \\ i=\text{ interest rate} \\ n=\text{ number of periods} \\ k=\text{ number of times the interest is compounded} \end{gathered}

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually this means that it is compounded 2 times a year, therefore, k = 2. Now we need to convert the interest rate into decimal form. To do that we will divide the interest rate by 100:

\frac{5.9}{100}=0.059

Now we substitute the values:

PV_{ord}=4000(\frac{1-(1+0.059)^{-2(3)}}{\frac{0.059}{2}})

Now we solve the operations, we get:

PV_{\text{ord}}=39462.50

Therefore, the present value must be $39462.50

Find the geometric mean of 2 and 3
Sav [38]
The first step in solving this problem is taking 2 and 3 and multiplying them (2 * 3 = 6) .
Now, for the second step, we will cube it. Since there are 2 numbers, we are going to use the 2nd root (2sqrt(6)) This will give us: 4.89897948557 or 5 if you would round it. This would be the Geometric Mean.

marysya [2.9K]
6 hamsters, 3 cats, and 1 bird = 38 legs.

6H + 3C + 1B = 30

H = 4 C = 4 B = 2

6*4 + 3*4 + 1*2 = 38

Hope this helped :)
