Let the cost of soup be X 
Let the cost of salad be Y
 The soup and salad cost totally be X+Y= 5.50 ---eqn 1
 Given the relation that the cost of soup(X) is a one dollar more than that of
salad (Y),and it can be written as a equation X = Y+1 - -eqn 2 
 Sub eqn 2 in 1 we get Y+Y+1 =5.50 ; 2Y+1 = 5.50 ; Y = 2.25
  therefore X+Y= 5.50 ; sub Y in the equation 1 X+2.25 = 5.50 ; 
  X = 5.50 - 2.25 = 3.25 ; ie soup = 325 cents ; salad = 225 cents

Soup + Salad = 5.50

Soup = Salad + 1

Subtitute both formulas into:

Salad + 1 + Salad = 5.50

2 Salad = 4.50

Salad = $ 2.25
 
          = 225 cents

How can a renter reduce the amount of money he or she spends on monthly
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

From the options given above, the correct way a renter can reduce their rent it to get a roommate or roommate. Getting just one roommate can help to reduce your basic living expenses by 30%.

This is achievable because various costs like rent, utilities, and even groceries can be shared among the roommates.

The only downside to this method is the lack of privacy that comes with having roommates. But in general, having roommates is a sure way for renters to spend less, or live in a nicer location.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

B. 66.67​%

Explanation:

Contribution is the difference between the company's total revenue and the total variable cost. The ratio of the contribution to sales or revenue gives the contribution margin ratio.

The contribution may also be derived from the addition of the fixed cost and the operating income.

Contribution margin

= $115,000 + $54,000

= $169,000

Let the number of units to be sold to achieve targeted income be U

6U - 2U - 115,000 = 54,000

4U = 169,000

U = 42,250

Contribution margin ratio = 169000/(6 * 42,250)

= 66.67%

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Machine B should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost

Explanation:

To determine the better of the two options, we would compare the equivalent annual cost of each options using a discount rate of 14% per annum

Equivalent annual cost = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor

Total PV of cost = Initial cost + PV of annual operating cost

PV of annual operating cost= Annual operating cost × Annuity factor

Annuity factor = (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- rate , n- years

Machine A

PV of annual operating cost = 8,000 × (1- 1.14^(-3)/0.14= 18573.05622

PV of total cost = 290,000 +18573.05622 =  308,573.06  

Uniform Annual cost =  308,573.06 /2.321632027 =  132,912.13  

Equivalent annual cost = $132,912.13

Machine B

PV of annual operating cost = 12,000 × (1- 1.14^(-2)/0.14= 19759.92613

PV of total cost = 180,000   + 19759.92613 =  199,759.93  

Equivalent annual cost =  199,759.93 /1.6466=$121,312.15  

Equivalent annual cost = $121,312.15

Machine B should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost

Total PV of cost
