Suppose you just won the state lottery, and you have a choice between receiving $2,575,000 today or a 20-year annuity of $250,00
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Ans. rate of return= 7.37%

Explanation:

The easiest way to find this discount rate is to set a MS Excel sheet and use the function "Find Goal". In the attachments, there is a spreadsheet that I got ready for you. There are 2 cells in color, one is yellow and the other one is green. You just go ahead and replace the value of the green cell with any percentage that you want, for example, 2%, then use the function "find goal" and set the objective cell to be the yellow cell (B5), changing the cell in green (B7), and hit enter.

Best of luck.

What is the capacity of the machine in batches unfinished batch?
Oxana [17]

Complete Question:

You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced.  The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part.  You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts.  The plant operates 8 hours per day.

What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?

Answer:

The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Set up time per batch = 10 minutes

Processing time per part = 2 minutes

Batch sizes = 50 parts

Plant operation = 8 hours per day

b) Capacity in batches per day:

Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes

Total minutes of operation  per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches

c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch.  Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day.  These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.

At an activity level of 6,900 units in a month, Zeus Corporation's total variable maintenance and repair cost is $408,756, and i
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Total cost= $650,857

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

At an activity level of 6,900 units in a month, Zeus Corporation's total variable maintenance and repair cost is $408,756, and its total fixed maintenance and repair cost is $230,253.

<u>We need to calculate the total cost of 7,100 units. Because it is between the relevant range, fixed costs will remain the same. We need to determine the unitary variable cost.</u>

Unitary variable cost= total variable cost/ unit

Unitary variable cost= 408,756/6,900= $59.24

Total cost= 59.24*7,100 + 230,253= $650,857

A farmer sells a bushel of corn to the supermarket for $12. The supermarket then sells the corn to customers for $25. What is th
allsm [11]

Answer:

$ 25

Explanation:

As per the description, the exact amount that is being contributed from the corn bushel to the Gross Domestic Product would be $ 25. The price at which the farmer sold it to the supermarket would not be included in the GDP because it would be considered as an intermediary good because the good purchased for the resale purpose is not included in GDP as it leads to double-counting. Thus, <u>only the price of the final good i.e. $ 25 would be included in GDP as it will now be used for final consumption by the customers</u>.
