Answer:

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 10 and its common difference is

negative seven. What is the fourth term of the sequence?

The fourth term is -11

Explanation:

a.p= a1 + (n-1)d

a.p= 10+ (4-1) -7

a.p= 10 + (3) -7

a.p= 10 - 21

= -11

a1= first term

n= nth term

d= difference

Jake Werkheiser decides to invest $5000 in an IRA at the end of each year for the next 12 years. If he makes these investments,

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Jake Werkheiser will have $170,322.48 at the end of 12 years.

Explanation:

We use the following formula to find the future value,

$S=R[\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}](1+i)$

S= future value

R= yearly payment =$5000

i= rate of interest = 9%=0.09

n =time =12 years.

Now putting the value of i, n, R

$S=5000[\frac{(1+0.09)^{12}-1}{0.09}](1+0.09)$

=$170,322.48

Jake Werkheiser will have $170,322.48 at the end of 12 years.

Ben sold his townhome on March 12. The property is subject to an HOA fee of $355 per month, which Ben prepaid for the month of M

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

$213

Explanation:

For computing the owed amount, first we have to compute the daily rate per day which is shown below:

= HOA fee ÷ number of days in a month

= $355 ÷ 30 days

= 11.83 per day

We know that the number of days in a month is 30 days and the townhome is sold on March 12, so the remaining days would be 18 days ( 30 days - 12 days of march month)

Now the owed amount would be

= Remaining days × per day rate

= 18 days × 11.83

= $213

MSI has been approached by a fourth-grade teacher from Portland about the possibility of creating a specially designed game that

Ahat [919]

Answer:

1. The incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.

2. Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.

3. The incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.

4. The special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.

Explanation:

Note that only variable costs are relevant to making decision on a special order. That is, fixed cost is not relevant. Therefore, we have:

Total variable cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.50 + $0.60 + $2.25 = $4.35.

We then proceed as follows:

1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.

Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($5 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = $150

Therefore, the incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.

2. Should MSI accept the special order?

Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.

3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 1,000 copies of the program for $4.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.

Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($4.50 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = ($350), or –$350

Therefore, the incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.

4. Suppose that MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Modification cost per unit = Modification cost / Units of special order = $500 / 1,000 = $0.50

Special order price = Regular price + Modification cost per unit = $12 + $0.50 = $12.50 per unit

Therefore, the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.
