Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

It was given that consumer prefers Adidas to puma brand soccer cleats but he buys puma brand soccer cleats. This is only because of the price theory and rational consumer choice. We know that a rational consumer will choose a product with a lower price. Both puma and Adidas brand soccer cleats are substitutes, thus, if the price of puma cleats is lower than the Adidas cleats then he should prefer puma brand soccer cleats.

Suppose that $2000 is loaned at a rate of 11.5% , compounded semiannually. assuming that no payments are made, find the amount o
Zolol [24]

This problem is solved by using the compound interest formula:
 A=P(1+(I/period))^(number of periods)
 Where A = amount accumulated and P = amount loaned and I = Interest 
 A = ? P = $2, 000, I = 0.115, Period = 2 (semi annually) Number of period = 2
*7 (I. e paid twice over a 7 yrs span) 
 So we have 
 A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.115/2)^(14)
 A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.0575)^(14)
 A = 2000 (1.0575)^(14)
 A = 2000 (2.1873851765154) = 4374.77035
 So we have 4374.80 to the nearest cent.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

5,280 net income for the Year 3

Explanation:

This would be the situation:

17,400 revenue

11,000 expenses

gain/loss on sale of equipment

= net income year 3

To know the result of the sale of equipment we have to do

sales price - book value = gain/loss on sale of equipment

8900         -  book value   = gain/loss

We have to determinate the book value.

book value = adquisition cost - acumulated depreciation

The equipment cost 15,200 + 1,300 transportation cost = <u>16,500 Adquisition Cost</u>

acumulated depreciation = depreciation per year * 3 years

and depreciation per year is:

\ $ depreciation per year $= \frac{Adquisition Value - Salvage Value }{Useful Life}

Here we have all the values, so we stop digging and start solving.

  • <em>depreciation </em>= (16,500-5,700)/5 = 2,160
  • <em>acumulated depreciation</em> = 2,160 * 3 = 6,480
  • <em>book value</em> = 16,500 - 6,480 = 10,020
  • <em>gain/loss </em>= 8,900 - 10,020 = -1,120 LOSS on sale of Equipment

net income = 17,400 - 11,000 - 1,120 = 5,280 net income for the Year 3

Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36  

Total unit cost = $36

Step 2: Calculate the target selling price

Target selling price = Unit cost + (25%× unit cost)

The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45  

The target selling price =$45
