Lloyd is a divorce attorney who practices law in Florida. He wants to join the American Divorce Lawyers Association (ADLA). The

membership dues for the ADLA are $750 per year and must be paid at the beginning of each year. However, the ADLA also has an option for members to buy a lifetime membership today for $8,000 and never have to pay annual membership dues.
Obviously, the lifetime membership isn't a good deal if you only remain a member for a couple of years, but if you remain a member for 40 years, it's a great deal. Suppose that the appropriate interest rate is 7.9%. What is the minimum number of years that Lloyd must remain a member of the ADLA so that the lifetime membership is cheaper (on a present value basis) than paying $750 in annual membership dues?

Answer:

13 years

Explanation:

Note that, if we add the annual interest rate of 7.9% to $8000 [(0.079*8000)+8000] we get a total value of $8632. We perform random division of the 8632 with 11 12, 13 years we note that at 13 years the total annual payment is lowest.

Such that 8632/13 years= $664 lower than paying $750.

Baker Oats had an asset turnover of 1.6 times per year. a. If the return on total assets (investment) was 12 percent, what was B
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a) Baker's profit margin = 7.5%

b) No change on return on total assets

Explanation:

a) Assets Turnover = \frac{Net Sales}{Average Total Assets} = 1.6 times

Return on total assets = \frac{Net profit}{Average Total assets} = 12%

Then we have profit margin on sales = \frac{Return on total assets}{Asset turnover ratio} = \frac{12}{1.6} = 7.5%

b) In case asset turnover declined to 2 times with profit margin of 6% then Return on total assets = Asset turnover ratio X Profit Margin

= 2 X 6% = 12%

Thus there is no change in that case on return on total investments.

a) Baker's profit margin = 7.5%

b) Thus there is no change in that case on return on total investments.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

D. 2

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of lost demand is shown below;

Given that

p = 3

a = 4

M  =2

Now

r = p ÷ a

=3 ÷ 4

= 0.75

Now determine the value from the erlang table having r = 0.75 and M = 2

= 0.123  

Now,

The  Rate of lost demand is

= demand rate × 0.123 × 60minutes

= (1 ÷ 4) × 0.123 × 60

= 1.845 or 2

= 2

Hence, the correct option is d.
