Answer:
PV= $105,206.99
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value (FV)= $150,000
Number of periods= 6*2= 12 semesters
Interest rate= 0.06/2= 0.03
<u>To calculate the present value (PV), we need to use the following formula:</u>
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 150,000 / (1.03^12)
PV= $105,206.99
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
Based on the selling price of the picture frames and the unit variable costs, the break-even point is 400 picture frames.
<h3>What is the breakeven point?</h3>
This can be found by the formula:
= Fixed costs / (Selling price - Variable costs)
Solving gives:
= 32,000 / (120 - 40)
= 32,000 / 80
= 400 picture frames
