elena-s [515]

Answer:

$4,550

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the product cost per unit

Product cost per unit = Total production costs / Units produced

= ($15,085 + $10,200 + $9,200) / 6,050 units

= $5.7 per unit

Cost of goods sold = $5.7 × 3,700 units

= $21,090

Net income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses

= ($8.2 × 3,700) - $21,090 - $4,700

= $30,340 - $21,090 - $4,700

= $4,550

If 7000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 7 per cent per year, Find the amount in the bank after 14 y

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1. Interest compounded annually = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly = $18,598.16

4. Interest compounded continuously = $18,651.19

Explanation:

First let me state the formula for compound interest:

The future value of a certain amount which is compounded is the total amount (Principal + interest) on the amount of money, after compound interests have been applied, and this is shown below:

FV = PV $(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{n*t}$

where:

FV = Future value

PV = Present value = $7,000

r = interest rate in decimal = 0.07

n = number of compounding periods per year

t = compounding period in years = 14

For interests compounded continuously, the Future value is given as:

FV = PV × $e^{r*t}$

where

$e$ is a mathematical constant which is = 2.7183

Now to calculate each on the compounding periods one after the other:

1. Interest compounded annually:

here n (number of compounding periods annually) = 1

Therefore,

FV = 7,000 × $(1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{14}$

FV = 7,000 × $1.07^{14}$ = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly:

here, n = 3 ( there are 4 quarters in a year)

FV = 7,000 × $(1+\frac{0.07}{4} )^{4*14}$

FV = 7,000 × $1.0175^{56}$ = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly:

here n = 12 ( 12 months in a year)

FV = 7,000 × $(1+\frac{0.07}{12} )^{12*14}$

FV = 7,000 × $1.005833^{168}$ = $18,598.16

4. Interests compounded continuously:

FV = PV × $e^{0.07 * 14}$

FV = 7,000 × 2.66446 = $18,651.19

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Aristotle argues that what differentiates human beings from other animals is the human reason.

Explanation:

"Good life" can be seen as the one in which a person understand and exercise their rational faculties. The word "good" can be used to show moral approval. Therefore, for someone to be called good, they must have possessed and practiced many important virtues and not pursuing their own pleasure all the time.

According to Aristotle, happiness consists in achieving all the goods like health, wealth, knowledge, friends etc throughout a lifetime. He sees happiness as the central purpose of human life.

Aristotle believes that the highest good is a solitary nucleus which all other goods are acted upon and this highest good is happiness.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

Sales $20,000

Variable expenses $12,000

Contribution margin $8,000

Fixed expenses $6,000

Net operating income $2,000

margin of safety in $ = current sales level - break even point

margin of safety in % = (current sales level - break even point) / current sales level

first we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit = $20 - $12 = $8 per unit

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $6,000 / $8 = 750 units

sales level at break even point = 750 x $20 = $15,000

margin of safety in $ = $20,000 - $15,000 = $5,000

margin of safety = ($20,000 - $15,000) / $20,000 = $5,000 / $20,000 = 25%
