An automobile tier II supplier has been offered a contract to supply a gearbox to a car company. The initial price of the gearbo
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

:

The contract is worth $1,622,970,237.98

Explanation:

Given

Number of Years = 12

Initial Price = $389

Initial Units = 500,000

Unit Increment = 2%

Price Decrement = $7.5

At Year 0:

$389 * 500,000 = $194,500,000

The Initial price would continue to decrease by $7.5

And the Initial units would continue to increase by 2%.

So,

At Year 1:

($389 - $7.5) * (500,000 * 2% + 500,000)

= $381.5 * 510,000 = $194,565,000

At Year 2:

($381.5 - $7.5) * (510,000 * 2% + 510,000)

= $374 * 520,200 = $194,554,800

At Year 3:

($374 - $7.5) * (520,200 * 2% + 520,200)

= $366.5 * 530,604 = $194,466,366

At Year 4:

$359 * $541,216 = $194,296,5736

At Year 5:

$351.5 * $552,040 = $194,042,2017

At Year 6:

$344 * $563,081 = $193,699,9368

At Year 7:

$336.5 * $574,343 = $193,266,3649

At Year 8:

$329 * $585,830 = $192,737,96810

At Year 9:

$321.5 * $597,546 = $192,111,13011

At Year 10:

$314 * $609,497 = $191,382,12412

At Year 11:

$306.5 * $621,687 = $190,547,113

Calculating present worth of contract (at 6%)

By adding the result of 0.06 * present value at each year.

Net Present Value = $1,622,970,237.98

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

$85,300

Explanation:

The computation of the ending account payable balance is shown below:

Ending balance of account payable = Beginning balance of account payable +  purchase made - paid amount of its account payable balance

= $78,000 + $44,900 - $37,600

= $85,300

The paid amount for services to be provided in the future is not related to the account payable. Hence, it is ignored

Charra [1.4K]

As the number of sellers in an oligopoly becomes very large, the quantity of output approaches the socially efficient quantity.

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry.  

Characteristics of an oligopoly:

  1. Firms set the price for their product
  2. Products are differentiated
  3. The demand curve is downward sloping
  4. There is a high barrier to entry and exit of firms into the industry.

In 2013, total revenues from digital sales of regional (Mexican/Tejano), pop/rock, and tropical (salsa/merengue/cumbia/bachata)
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Regional = 32 million

Pop/rock = 18 million

Tropical = 8 million

Explanation:

Given that

Total sales of the 3 categories = 58 million.

Let a denote regional

b denote pop/rock

c denote tropical

Thus

a + b + c = 58 million

From the question

a = 4c (regional 4 times tropical). equation 2.

Also, pop/rock music brought in $10 million more than tropical music

Thus,

b = c + 10. equation 3.

By eliminating a and b, put equation 2 and 3 in 1

We have

a + b + c = 58

4c + c + 10 + c = 58.

Collect like terms,

6c = 58 - 10

c = 48 ÷ 6

c = 8

Thus, tropical music = 8 million.

Recall that,

a = 4c

Thus

a = 4 × 8

= 32.

Therefore regional music = 32 million.

Again, recall that,

b = c + 10

Thus, b = 8 + 10

= 18

Therefore, pop/rock = 18 million.

8 + 18 + 32 = 58
