Answer:

C. $19,600

Explanation:

The contribution margin per hour can be obtained by dividing the difference between the price and variable costs by the number of labor hours required.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}\ &LO&ES&CH\\Price&30&80&42\\Cost&20&40&20\\Labor \ hours&1&6&2\\margin\ per\ hour&10&6.67&11\end{array}\right]

Since the candle holders yield the greatest contribution per hour, the maximum of 800 units of this product should be produced. The remaining labor hours after producing candle holders is:

LH_1 = 1,800 - 800*2 = 200

The remaining hours should be used to produce letter openers since they provide the next best contribution per hour. 200 letter openers can be produced with the remaining hours.

The maximum contribution margin that Wood Carving can generate next month is:

CM = 200*(\$30-\$20)+800*(\$42-\$20)\\CM=\$19,600

Lisa's opportunity cost rate is 10 percent compounded annually. how much must she deposit in an account today if she wants to re
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The answer would be, $21,760

Explanation:

The formula to be used is  that of calculating the present value (PV) of the payment in the ordinary annuity (PMT). PMT are done annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly.

PV = PMT * ((1-(1/ (1+r) n))/r)

Where PV is the present value; PMT is the payment in an ordinary annuity; r is the opportunity cost rate; n is the number of years  

in this case, PV= 3,200; r=10%, and n=12

To get PV, substitute the values given above and compute as shown below:

PV  = 3,200*((1-(1/(1+0.10)12))/0.10)

PV= $21,760

With an opportunity cost of 10% compounded annually, Lisa will have to deposit $21,760 today if she wants to be receiving $3,200 at the end of each year for the next 12 years.
