Answer:

more than

earn interest

discount cash flow (DCF)

Explanation:

The concept of future value represents the amount that a lump sum or series of cash flows will achieve after a given period when compounded at an interest rate. This means that a dollar in hand today is worth more than a dollar to be received since it can be applied to earn interest.

The time value of money, which allows us to evaluate different investments, is also known as discount cash flow (DCF).

bija089 [108]

Answer:

7.5 to 467.5.

Explanation:

Please note that In order to be fast, I make use of excel during the Calculation.

So, the first thing to do is to make sure that the observation is arranged in an increasing order.

Step one: Calculate the value for J1 and J3.

Know that J1 = J3. Where J3 = 3rd quartile.

Hence, J1 = 1st QUARTILE = QUARTILE. EXC (data, 1) = 18.

Also, J3 = QUARTILE. EXC(data, 3). = 29.5.

Therefore, the difference between the first quartile and the third QUARTILE = 29.5 - 18 = 11.5.

Step two: calculate the value for the higher fence and the lower fence respectively.

Thus, for the higher fence we have;

J3 + 1.5( 11.5).

= 29.5 + 1.5(11.5).

= 46.75.= (46.75 × 10) = 467.5).

Then, for the lower fence;

J1 - 1.5( 11.5).

= 18 - 1.5(11.5).

= 0.75 = (.75 × 10) = 7.5.

Georgina consumes only grapefruits and pineapples. Her utility function is U (x comma y )equals x to the power of 0.8 end expone

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The utility function U(x, y) = $x^{0.8} y^{0.2}$

The budget line income is:

105=4x +3y

The equation MRTS is:

$\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}$

where;

$MU_x(x,y) = 0.8 \times x^{0.8-1}\times y^{0.2} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2}$

$MU_y(x,y) = 0.2 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{0.2-1} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}$

and:

$P_y= 3$

$P_x = 4$

∴

Using the equation MRTS:

$\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}$

$\dfrac{ 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2} }{0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}} = \dfrac{4}{3}$

$\dfrac{4y }{x} = \dfrac{4}{3}$

4x = 12y

x = 12y/4

x = 3y

Replacing the value of x into the budget line income, we have:

105 = 4x + 3y

105 = 4(3y) + 3y

105 = 12y + 3y

105 = 15y

y = 105/15

y = 7

Then, from x = 3y

x = 3(7)

x = 21

Thus, she will consume 21 gapefruits

Activity Expected Costs Expected Activity Handling materials $ 625,000 100,000 parts Inspecting product 900,000 1,500 batches Pr

bekas [8.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Plant wide overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.

where,

Budgeted Overheads :

Handling materials 625,000

Inspecting product 900,000

Processing purchase orders 105,000

Paying suppliers 175,000

Insuring the factory 300,000

Designing packaging 75,000

Total Cost 2,180,000

And, the budgeted activity is 125,000

So, Plant wide overhead rate is

= Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.

= $2,180,000/125,000

= $17.44 per direct labor hour

Now Assignment of Overheads

As Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours

So, Deluxe model = 2,500 × $17.44

= $43,600

As Basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours

So, Basic model = 6,000 × $17.44

= $104,640
