Answer:

Yes their combined contribution of $120 is sufficient to pay the security guard

Explanation:

This is a form of non-rival service that does not get reduced by consumption by one of the parties. The security guard protects the entire neighbourhood.

Also it is a non-excludable service. If one party does not pay he will still enjoy the service.

Based on their income information and the fact that they are taxed 1%

Jack will pay 0.01 * 4,000 = $40

Jill will pay 0.01 * 8,000 = $80

The total sum is 40 + 80 = $120

As the security guard requires $120 to do the job, their contribution is sufficient.

However the value to Jack is $50 and he pays $40 so he has an excess value of $10

Jill gets a value of $90 but pays $80, so she gets an excess value of $10

On November 1, 20X1, a company signed a $200,000, 12%, six-month note payable with the amount borrowed plus accrued interest due
ozzi

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

= Note payable × interest rate × number of months ÷ total number of months -  Note payable × interest rate × number of months ÷ total number of months

= $200,000 × 12% × 6 months ÷ 12 months - $200,000 × 12% × 2 months ÷ 12 months

= $12,000 - $4,000

= $8,000

The 6 months is calculated from November 1, 20X1 to May 1, 20X2

And, the 2 months is calculated from On November 1, 20X1 to December 31,20X1

We assume the accounts are closed on December 31

Or we can do one thing also

Take the 4 months from Jan 1, 20X2 to May 1, 20X2

=  $200,000 × 12% × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= $8,000

Kitty [74]

The minimum requirement of salary = $53760

Cost of living in city is 12 percent higher than where Luke Anderson lives. So, Luke Anderson will require 12 percent higher salary than existing salary in order to maintain the existing standard of living

<u>The calculations are as follows. </u>

Current salary of Luke Anderson = $48000

12 percent increase = 48000 multiply with 12 percent = 5760

Thus, the required minimum salary = 48000+ 5760 = 53760

So, Luke Anderson will require minimum salary of $53760
