You and a group of friends are planning to visit a theme park, which charges $60 for admission, $100 for a two-day pass, and $13

enyata [817]

Answer:

Part 1.

Average cost per day of a three-day pass = $53.33/day per person

Marginal cost of adding the third day = $190 - $160 = $30 per person

Part 2.

Group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass = $180

Explanation:

The total cost is the admission charge ($60) plust the cost of the pass ($100 or $130).

For a two-day pass that is: $60 + $100 = $160, per person

For a three-day pass that is: $60 + $130 = $190, per person

Part 1. The average cost per day of a three-day pass per person. 

The average cost is the total cost divided by the number of days.

Average cost = $160/3days = $53.33/day per person

The marginal cost of adding the third day per person is found by subtracting the total cost for two days from the total cost for three days:

Marginal cost of adding the third day = $190 - $160 = $30 per person

This says that althoud the average cost for the three days is $53.33 the cost of adding the third day is $30, which is much lower; thus, it is a good deal to buy a three-days pass, as they are interested in spending a lot of time there.

Part 2. The group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass

Since the marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass is $30 per person, the marginal cost for the 6-person group is 6 times $30:

6 persons × $30/person = $180.

Answer:

Kangaroo Auto offers the better deal

If the I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

Explanation:

Here we need to compare the present value of the two options;

Present value is the worth today of an amount or series of amount payable or receivable in the future period.

Where a series of equal amount is receivable or payable in the future it is called an annuity.

One of the payment options includes an annuity. Therefore, we need to work out the present value of the annuity. This is done using the following formula:

Present Value = A ×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

where A = equal cash flow, r- rate per period, n - no. of periods

A = 300, r- rate per month - 12%/12 = 1% , n= 30

PV = 300 ×(1- (1+0.01)^(-30))/0.01

= 300 × 25.877

=7,742.31

Now we can work out he cost of each option and comapare them in today's Dollar:

Option 1 : Kangaroo Autos

Total cost of option 1 = deposit + PV of annuity

= 1000 + 7,742.31

cost = 8,742.31

Option 2: Turtle Motors:

Price = Car price - Discount

= $10,000 - $1000

cost = $9,000

Kangaroo Auto offers a better deal.

If I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

Why is it difficult to compare relative job growth for different-sized businesses? staff size of small businesses tends to chang

Talja [164]

It is difficult to compare relative job growth for different-sized businesses because it is hard to determine the cutoff point at which a small business becomes a large business. It is not easy to know the comparative job development amongst businesses of different sizes. There are not the same parameters leading the size of a small business versus a big business. Moreover, there is no defined point where such a variation can be clearly identified.
