A financier plans to invest up to $400,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 11% on the investment of x dollars, whe

reas Project B yields a return of 15% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, the financier has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 35% of the total investment.

Answer:

Profit = $  49,600.

Explanation:

Given data:

Total investment $400,000

First, A + B = $400,000, since total money to invest $400,000.

from data given we  have

Secondly, your revenue equation would be 1.1x + 1.15y = R

Since you earn the most from the B investment, use the max of 35% of 400,000 for y:

35% of 400,000 = 140,000 = y ;

400,000 - 140,000 = 260,000 = x

from revenue equation we have

1.11(260,000) + 1.15(140,000) = 449,600 = R

Profit = revenue - investment = 449,600 - 400,000 = 49,600.

Harry Corporation's common stock currently sells for $180 per share. Harry just paid a dividend of $10.18 and dividends are expe
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$190.64

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current selling price of shares = $180 per share

Dividend paid = $10.18

Expected growth rate, g = 6% = 0.06

Required rate of return, r = 12% = 0.12

Now,

The dividend for the following year to the next year, D1 = $10.18 × (1 + g)ⁿ

here, n = 2 ( i.e the duration of next year and the following year )

thus,

D1 = $10.18 × (1 + 0.06)²

or

D1 = $11.438

Therefore,

Price of stock one year from now = \frac{\textup{D1}}{\textup{(r-g)}}

= \frac{\textup{11.438}}{\textup{0.12-0.06}}

= 190.637 ≈ $190.64

Martha Manufacturing produces a single product that sells for $80. Variable costs per unit equal $32. The company expects total
garri49 [273]
Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold

If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:

(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000

24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.

Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units

We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!

Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?

(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833

Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)

Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?

10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72

10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200

Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000

Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)

Mr. Rational has $27 that he plans to spend purchasing 5 units of good X (priced at $3 per unit) and 6 units of good Y (priced a
allsm [11]

Answer:

Option A, buy less of X and more of Y is correct.

Explanation:

The amount that Mr. Rational is going to spend = $27

Quantity of good X = 5 units

Price of good X (Px) = $3 per unit

Marginal utility of 5th unit of X (MUx) = 30

Quantity of good Y = 6 units

Price of good Y (Py) = $2 per unit

Marginal utility of 6th unit of Y (MUy) = 18

Now \ find \  \frac{MUx}{Px} = \frac{30}{3} = 10 \\

Now \  \frac{MUy}{Py} = \frac{18}{2} = 9

Since \ the  \ \frac{MUx}{Px} is \ greater \ than \  \frac{MUy}{Py}.

So good x will be substituted for y in order to reach the consumer equilibrium.

\frac{MUx}{Px} =  \frac{MUy}{Py}

Thus, Option a. buy less of X and more of Y is correct.
