Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

For computing the least number of miles first we need to calculate the total annual costs for both the plans that are shown below:

For leasing: 

Fixed monthly cost = $480

So, yearly cost = $480 ×  12 = $5,760

Cost per mile = $0.04

Let x is the miles driven

So, the equation would be

= $5,760 + 0.04x ........................... (1)

Now In case of purchasing:

Fixed yearly cost = $4,800

Cost per mile = 0.08

The equation would be

= $4,800 + 0.08x ......................... (2)

Now equate these equations

So,

Cost of leasing ≤ Cost of purchasing

$5,760 + 0.04x ≤ $4,800 + 0.08x

$960 ≤ 0.04x

$24,000 ≤ x

Answer:

The Legume Division's net operating income last year was d. $45,000

Turnover (on operating assets) = Total Sales/ Operating assets

From the formula,

Operating assets = Total Sales/Turnover (on operating assets) = $900,000/3 = $300,000

Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:

ROI = Net income/Total investment

Net Income = ROI x Total investment

At the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation, Total investment  = Operating assets = $300,000

Net Income = 15% x $300,000 = $45,000

liraira [26]

Answer:

the present value is $88,087.08

Explanation:

The computation of the present value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

$203,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.11)^8

So, the present value is $88,087.08

hence, the present value is $88,087.08

Jack and Jill have a tenancy in common in an apartment building. After ten years of ownership, Jill dies unexpectedly. On Jill's
Basile [38]
<h2>Jill's interest in the property will: <u>Pass to Jill's heirs </u>(Option B)</h2>

Explanation:

Let us understand the meaning of tenancy: It is the "possession of any property which might be land or building and get connected as tenant".

In contrast, ownership means the property belongs that person alone or in partnership.

Understanding the above terms, We can say, Jack and Jill have been a tenant and after ten years, Jill dies. So the rest of the interest in the property will definitely go to his heirs only.

It cannot be passed to Jack because Jill's interest will not be paid by other person except for Jill's heirs. Jack heirs are no way responsible or own the property of Jack.
