you have $6000 to invest in two stock funds. The first fund pays 5% annual interest and the second account pays 9% annual intere

stira [4]

Answer:

Amount of money invested is $2,000 and $4,000

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate how much was invested in two different accounts given the amount of money invested in both accounts.

Let the amount of money invested in both accounts be a and b respectively.

Mathematically;

A + B = 6000 ......I

Now we use the formula for simple interest to check the amount that is supposed to be made on Both accounts if he end of a year.

Formula for simple interest is I = PRT/100

Let’s apply this to what is on ground:

5*1* a/100 = 5a/100

Second is

9*b*1/100 = 9b/100

That is 5a + 9b = 38,000. ........ii

Solving Both simultaneously as follows:

Let A = 6000-b from 1

Substitute this into 2

5(6000-b) + 9b = 38,000

30,000 -5b + 9b = 38,000

4b = 8,000

b =$2000

This means a would be 6000 - 2,000 = $4000

g Suppose that if GSI drops the price on the Glucoscan 3000 immediately, it can increase sales over the next year by 30% to 130,

Amanda [17]

Complete Question:

Glucose Scan Incorporated (GSI) currently sells its latest glucose monitor, the Glucoscan 3000, to diabetic patients for $129. GSI is considering lowering the sale price to $99 per unit. The cost of goods sold for each Glucoscan unit is $50, and GSI expects to sell 100,000 units over the next year. The marginal corporate tax rate is 40%. Suppose that if GSI drops the price on the Glucoscan 3000 to $99 immediately, it can increase sales over the next year by 30% to 130,000 units.

Also suppose that for each Glucoscan monitor sold, GSI expects additional sales of $100 per year on glucose testing strips and these strips have a gross profit margin of 75%. These strip sales occur on all monitor sales regardless of the price of the monitor. Including the increase in the sale of testing strips, the incremental impact of this price drop on the firms EBIT is closest to:

Answer:
