Solution :
At every stage the formula used will be :

After the junior year, Aunt Mabel's bank balance will be :

= $ 7,322.65
Aunt Mabel's bank balance after sophomore year will be :
7,322.65 + 1000 = $ 8,322.65

= $ 8060.677
After the freshman year, bank balance of Aunt Mable's will be :
8060.677 + 6000 = $ 14,060.677

= $ 14.0606
If Aunt Mabel can predict the interest rate with accuracy, she will have to deposit :
$ 14.0606 + $ 9000 = $ 9,014.06

= $ 8,565.241
Answer:
2 years and 5 months
Explanation:
304,000 Investment
+86,000 operating income
+ 38,000 depreciaton (non-cash expense)
124,000 cash flow per year
<em>Note: </em>The non-cash expense should be excluded from the calculaton of the payback period.

304,000/124,000 = 2.451612903 years
0.451612903 x 12 = 5.419354839
2 years and 5 months
Answer:
following a linear equation:
y = mx + b
if we use July's data:
y = $0.0882m + 500
where
y = total cost
m = number of copies
the slope = 1 / 11.3333 = 0.0882
Explanation:
Month Number of Copies Total Copy Cost
January 46,000 $4,600
February 42,000 $4,400
March 58,000 $5,300
April 64,000 $6,300
May 57,000 $5,000
June 62,000 $5,800
<u>July 68,000 $6,500 </u>
August 71,000 $7,300
y = mx + b
6,500 = 68,000x + 500
x = variable cost per unit = (6,500 - 500) / 68,000 = $0.088235294 per copy ≈ $0.0882 per copy
the equation would be:
y = $0.0882m + 500
the slope = 1 / 11.3333 = 0.0882
