Answer:

Explanation:

U = 10 X²Z

Given

150 = 5X + 20Z

30 = X + 4Z

To maximise utility

differentiating partially wrt X

MU_x = dU/ dX = 20XZ

differentiating partially wrt Y

MU_y = dU/dY = 10X²

For optimal bundle

MU_x / MU_y = P_x / P_y

20XZ /  10X² = 5 / 20

2Z / X = 1/4

X = 8Z

30 = X + 4Z

30 = 8Z + 4Z

12Z = 30

Z = 2.5

X =  8 X 2.5

= 20

X = 20

Z = 2.5

forsale [732]

Answer:

$900,000

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the percentage completed

= 600,000/2,000,000

= 0.3

The revenue can be calculated as follows

= 5,000,000 × 0.3

= 1,500,000

Therefore the gross profit for 2020 can be calculated as follows

=1,500,000 -600,000

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Cost of goods transferred out  $71,061.012

Value of closing inventory = $17,540.98

Explanation:

Cost  per equivalent unit = Cost /total equivalent unit

<em>Material </em>

Equivalent unit = (100%×6,240) +( 100%× 3,000) = 9240

Cost per equivalent unit = $36,960/9,240 units= 4

<em>Labour</em>

Equivalent unit = (100%×6,240) + ( 25%× 3,000)= 6990  units

Cost per equivalent unit = ( 21,400 + 30,242)/6990  = 7.387982833

Cost of goods transferred out=  (6,240× 4) + (7.38×6,240)=71,061.012

Value of closing inventory = (3,000× 4) + (7.38× 25%*3000)= 17,540.98

Cost of goods transferred out  $71,061.012

Value of closing inventory = $17,540.98

A share of common stock just paid a dividend of $1.00. If the expected long-run growth rate for this stock is 5.4%, and if inves
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$11.98

Explanation:

A share of common stock just made a dividend payment of $1.00

The expected long-run growth rate of for this stock is 5.4%

= 5.4/100

= 0.054

The investors required rate of return is 14.2%

= 14.2/100

= 0.142

The first step is to calculate the dividend year 1(D1)

D1= Do(1+g)

= 1(1+0.054)

= 1×1.054

= $1.054

Therefore, the stock price can be calculated as follows

Po= D1/(rs-g)

= 1.054/(0.142-0.054)

= 1.054/0.088

= $11.98

Hence the Stock price is $11.98
