Chris Bowie is trying to determine the amount to set aside so that he will have enough money on hand in 5 years to overhaul the

engine on his vintage used car. While there is some uncertainty about the cost of engine overhauls in 5 years, by conducting some research online, Chris has developed the following estimates.
Engine Overhaul Estimated Cash Outflow Probability Assessment
$300 10%
470 30%
740 50%
880 10%

How much รhould Chris Bowie deposit today in an account earning 6%, compounded annually, so that he will have enough money on hand in 3 years to pay for the overhaul?

Answer:

$515.53

Explanation:

CALCULATION OF THE ESTIMATED CASH OUTFLOW EXPENSES FOR ENGINE OVERHAUL

Engine Overhaul                          Probability                 Estimated Cash

estimated cash outflow(X)                 (Y)                           flow ( X * Y)

$370                                             10%                                $37

$470                                             30%                               $141

$720                                             50%                               $360

<u>$760                                             10%                                $76</u>

<u>$2320                                                                                 $614</u>

Present Value Factor, PVF, of 3 years and 6% = 0.839619(from the table)

hence, value = $614 x 0.839619

                     = $515.53

Amount Deposited = $516 (approx)

Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until​ maturity, a face value of $ 1 comma 000​,
astraxan [27]

Answer:

$1,073.60

Explanation:

bond's current price = PV of face value + PV of coupons

maturity = 10 years

face value = $1,000

coupon rate = 7% annual

market rate = 6%

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ =$558.39

PV of coupons = coupon x annuity factor (10 years, 6%) = $70 x 7.3601 = $515.21

market value at issue date = $558.39 + $515.21 = $1,073.60

since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, the bond was sold at a premium.

Anne has chosen how many bagels and how many units of cream cheese she would buy this month. She has $20 to spend on these two g
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is:  her marginal benefit per dollar for bagels will decrease, and her marginal benefit per dollar for cream  cheese will increase.

Explanation:

Anne has $20 to spend on two goods bagels and cream cheese.

The marginal benefit per dollar for bagels is $6.

The marginal benefit per dollar for cream cheese is $10.

If she decides to buy more bagels and less cream cheese, the marginal benefit per dollar for bagels will decrease and marginal benefit per dollar for cream cheese will increase.

The marginal benefit per dollar for a commodity is the ratio of marginal utility derived from consuming the last unit of the commodity upon price of the commodity.

As more and more quantity of a commodity is consumed the marginal benefit per dollar for it will go on declining. This is because the marginal utility derived from each additional unit will go on declining while price will remain the same. The less the commodity is consumed, the marginal benefit per dollar for it will increase.

A project manager can identify the skills needed for the project from the:
Katarina [22]

Answer:

D - work breakdown structure

Explanation:

A detailed work breakdown structure should entail the job description, specific skills required, work experience recommended as well as the number of people required to carry out the task, should it require more than one. the project manager should then be able to identify the skills needed that he/she would have to go out and seek internally or from the public. Departmental personnel listings may not necessarily relate to the project and a budget will not state who does what, only the finances set aside for the project and its deliverables. A stakeholder meeting usually is for the end user stating what he/she expects the end product to be like. the project manager may be able to pick up a few skills requirements from that but that would only be surface level information. A detailed work breakdown structure will give him/her what is needed to plan, begin, continue and end the project efficiently.

fomenos

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Logan Corporation has 30 employees, 10 in "A-line," and 20 in "B-line." Logan incurred $180,000 in fringe benefits costs last year.

First, we need to calculate the allocation rate based on number of employees:

Estimated allocation rate= total estimated fringe costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated allocation rate= 180,000/30= $6,000 per employee.

Now, we can allocate fringe costs to the A-line:

Allocated fringe costs= Estimated Estimated allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated fringe costs= 6,000*10= $60,000
