Answer:

(1) return it with a full gas tank

Explanation:

To find the best choice you have to evaluate each alternative. First, you need to find the amount of gallons you would use if you drive 150 miles:

1 gallon →  25 miles

      x     →  150 miles

x=(150*1)/25=6 gallons

(1) return it with a full gas tank:

local price for gasoline: $3.30/gallon

$3.30*6=$19.8

(2) return it without filling it and pay $5.20/gallon

$5.20*6=$31.2

According to this, return it with a full gas tank would cost $19.8, return it without filling it would cost $31.2 and the other option would be to accept a fixed price of $55 for gas. Considering this information, the choice that you should make if you expect to drive 150 miles is return it with a full gas tank because it is the cheapest option.

Country A can produce two goods: good X is labor-intensive and good Y is labor-intensive. As a result of international trade the
vekshin1

Answer:

Both goods are originally labor intensive, so we can conclude that the country has a lot of labor resources, while their capital resources should be rather limited. Since the world price of good X increases compared to the price of good Y, then the country will export larger amounts of good X since its price is relatively higher.

Suppose you purchase from a supplier at $4 per unit a part with which you assemble red widgets. on average, you use 50,000 units
joja [24]

The problem is missing some parts:

First, how many parts should you purchase each time you place an order.

H=.2*$4 = $0.80

S= $800

R = 50,000

 

Q = 2SRH

= 2(800) (50000) (.8)

= 10,000 units

 

The second question is how many timer per year will you place orders.

Required order = R/Q

= 50000/10000

= 5 times

Park Company reports interest expense of $145,000 and income before interest expense and income taxes of $1,885,000. (1) Compute
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

(1) Park's times interest earned is 13.

(2) Park is in a BETTER position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.

Explanation:

(1) Compute its times interest earned.

The times interest earned, also known as the interest coverage ratio, is a coverage ratio that calculates the proportionate amount of income that can be used to cover future interest expenses.

The times interest earned can be computed as follows:

Times interest earned = Income before interest expense and income taxes / Interest expense = $1,885,000 / $145,000 = 13

Therefore, Park's times interest earned is 13.

(2) Park's competitor's times interest earned is 4.0. Is Park in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.

Because the ratio reveals how many times a company could pay interest with its pre-tax income, greater ratios are clearly better than lower ratios.

Since Park’s times interest earned of 13 is greater than its competitor’s times interest earned of 4, it therefore implies that Park is in a BETTER position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.

Which of the following options is a better purchase for a bicycle?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Option 3: $12 down with equal payments of $5 for 12 months

Explanation:

In option 1 :

The cost is $ 88,

In option 2 :

Down payment = $ 5,

Weekly payment = $ 8,

Number of weeks = 10,

So, the total cost = 5 + 8 × 10 = 5 + 80 = $ 85,

In option 3 :

Down payment = $ 12,

Monthly payment = $ 5,

Number of months = 12,

So, the total cost = 12 + 5 × 12 = 12 + 60 = $ 72,

In option 4 :

Down payment = $ 20,

Monthly payment = $ 20,

Number of months = 12,

So, the total cost = 12 + 20 × 12 = 12 + 240= $ 252

∵ 72 < 85 < 88 < 252

Hence, option 3 is better.
