Answer:

b) 6824 units

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:-  

Assume volume of unit = x  

Cash flow = profit × volume per unit

                 = $6.70 × x

                  = $6.70x

= Cash flow × Present value of annuity factor(15%, 6 year) - initial investment

=$6.70x × Present value of annuity factor(15%, 6 year) - $173,000  

=$6.70x × 3.7845 - $173,000

=$25.36x - $173,000

X = $173,000 ÷ 25.36

= 6,821.76 units

The minimum volume of sales for the project to break even is 6,821.76 units

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

25,670.80€

Explanation:

this is an ordinary annuity since the first payment occurs one year from now. The present value of an ordinary annuity is given by the following formula:

present value = annual distribution x PV annuity factor

  • annual distribution =4,000
  • PV annuity factor, 9%, 10 periods = 6.4177

present value = 4,000 x 6.4177 = 25,670.80€

On January 1, Greene Inc. issued $5,000,000, 9% bonds for $4,685,000. The market rate of interest for these bonds is 10%. Intere
skad [1K]

Answer:

b.$296,500.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Greene should report as unamortized bond discount

First step is to calculate the discount amount

Discount Amount= ($5,000,000 × .09) - ($4,685,000 × .10)

Discount Amount= $18,500

Now let determine the unamortized bond discount

Unamortized bond discount=$315,000 - $18,500 Unamortized bond discount= $296,500

Therefore Greene should report unamortized bond discount of $296,500

A metal sphere of radius 15 cm has a net charge of 3.0 $ 10#8 C. (a) What is the electric field at the sphere’s surface? (b) If
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

E = 1.20 × 10^{4} N/C

V = 1800 V

x = 0.058 m

Explanation:

given data

radius = 15 cm

net charge = 3 × 10^{-8} C

electric potential decreased = 500 V

solution

we get here electric field at the sphere’s surface that is

electric field at the sphere’s surface E  =  \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon _o R^2}   ............1

put here value

electric field at the sphere’s surface E  = \frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 8.99\times 10^9}{ 0.15^2}    

E = 1.20 × 10^{4} N/C

and

potential on surface of sphere is

V =  \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon _o R} ................2

V = \frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 8.99\times 10^9}{ 0.15}  

V = 1800 V

and

now we get distance that is x

and we know here

ΔV = V(x) - V   ..............3

substitute here value

-500V = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon _o } \times (\frac{1}{R+x} - \frac{1}{R})

-500 V = {3\times 10^{-8}\times 8.99\times 10^9} \times (\frac{1}{0.15+x} - \frac{1}{0.15})

solve it we get x

x = 0.058 m
