Answer:

The cost price was 500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

$x\times(1+12\%)=560$

$x\times(1+0.12)=560$

$1.12x=560$

$1.12x/1.12=560/1.12$

$x=500$

Answer:

Solution,

 $profit \: percent = 12 \\ selling \: price = 560 \\ cost \: price \\ = \frac{sp \times 100}{100 + profit \: percnt} \\ = \frac{560 \times 100}{100 + 12} \\ = \frac{56000}{112} \\ = 500$ 

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

A pack of folders has a length of 5 inches, a width of 12 inches, and a height of 1 inch. The pack of folders will be shipped in

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A) Each pack of folders has a volume of 60 cubic inches.

B) The box has a volume of about 720 cubic inches

D) If the box help 20 packs of folders, it would have a volume of about 1,200 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify each statement

A) Each pack of folders has a volume of 60 cubic inches.

The statement is True

Because

The volume of each pack of folders is equal to

$V=(5)(12)(1)=60\ in^{3}$

B) The box has a volume of about 720 cubic inches

The statement is True

Because

The volume of the box is equal to the volume of one pack of folders multiplied by 12

$V=(12)60=720\ in^{3}$

C) If the box held 15 packs of folders, it would have a volume of about 1,200 cubic inches

The statement is False

Because

Applying proportion

$\frac{12}{720}\frac{packs}{in^{3}}=\frac{15}{x}\frac{packs}{in^{3}}\\ \\x=720*15/12\\ \\x=900\ in^{3}$

$900\ in^{3}\neq 1,200\ in^{3}$

D) If the box help 20 packs of folders, it would have a volume of about 1,200 cubic inches.

The statement is True

Because

Applying proportion

$\frac{12}{720}\frac{packs}{in^{3}}=\frac{20}{x}\frac{packs}{in^{3}}\\ \\x=720*20/12\\ \\x=1,200\ in^{3}$

$1,200\ in^{3}= 1,200\ in^{3}$

E) Each pack of folders has a volume of 24 cubic inches.

The statement is False

Because

The volume of each pack of folders is equal to

$V=(5)(12)(1)=60\ in^{3}$

Answer:

The rate of return is 8.15%

This is a good investment

Explanation:

For the first question, you need to find the rate that makes the present value of a stream of ten constant annual payments of $15,000 equal to the $100,000 investment.

The formula that returns the present value of a constant payment is called the annuity formula and is:

$Present\text{ }value=payment\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]$

In your problem you know:

Present value: $100,000
payment: $15,000
r: ?
t: 10

You cannot solve for r directly. You must guess a value and calculate the right side of the equation until to you find the rate that makes it equal to 100,000.

Try 5%:

$\$15,000\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{0.05}-\dfrac{1}{0.05(1+0.05)^{10}}\bigg]=\$115,826$

Then, the rate of return is greater than 5%. After several trials you will find that the rate of return is 8.15%.

Since this rate is higher than 8%, which is what the company requires, this is a good investment.
