Answer:

$15.66 per carton

Explanation:

118,000 cartons of machine screws

equipment cost $785,000

depreciation per year = $785,000 / 5 = $157,000

fixed manufacturing costs $415,000 per year

variable costs per carton = $10.05 x 118,000 = $1,185,900

initial investment in net working capital $68,000

tax rate 24%

discount rate 12%

price per carton?

initial investment = -$853,000

CF₁ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₂ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₃ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₄ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₅ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 + $68,000 = 0.76R + $1,110,320

$853,000 = (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12 + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12² + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12³ + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12⁴ + (0.76R + $1,110,320 ) / 1.12⁵ = 0.6786R - $1,052,071.43 + 0.6059R - $939,349.49 + 0.541R - $838,704.90 + 0.483R - $748,943.66 + 0.4312R + $630,025.39

$853,000 = 2.7397R - $4,209,094.87

$5,062,094.87 = 2.7397R

R = $5,062,094.87 / 2.7397 = $1,847,682.18

total revenue = $1,847,682.18

revenue per carton = $1,847,682.18 / 118,000 = $15.6583 = $15.66

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

ERIC: Hi, Hubert. This is my first economics course, and many of the concepts discussed in class are really confusing. Today the professor explained that the true cost of going to college includes both the tuition I pay as well as something called the "opportunity cost" of going to college. I don't understand. I pay $32,000 per year in tuition. The tuition is what I pay to the school, so it seems like that should be my true cost!

HUBERT: Hi, Eric. Many concepts in economics can be confusing at first. Let's talk it through.

Economists think of costs a bit differently than just the dollar amount that you pay. To an economist, the true cost of college includes the total value of what you give up in order to acquire your college education. In other words, not only did you give up the tuition money that you paid, but by attending college, you gave up opportunities to do other things with your time as well. This is where the idea of opportunity cost comes from.

The opportunity cost of your decision to go to college is the value of the next best alternative that you gave up. Suppose that your next best alternative to college is to work as a cashier. By not going to college, and taking this job, you could earn $16,000 per year. Then your opportunity cost of college is <u>$16,000</u>, and your total cost of a year of college is <u>$48,000</u> per year.

ERIC: I think I get it now. So when I take into account the opportunity cost of college, the true cost is actually <u>more </u>than just the tuition.

HUBERT: Correct. Thinking about costs in this way will help you make more rational decisions in your everyday life. Now tell me, how can you explain your decision to go to college?

ERIC: I chose to go to college because, for me, the value of a year in college <u>gives me a higher stand and offers me a better long-term opportunity that someone without a college degree.</u>

Explanation:

The question poses a discussion about the opportunity cost of attending college. The understanding behind this is that by choosing to go to college, Eric is forfeiting the opportunity to get a job as a cashier that would earn him $16,000 a year while incurring his college fees of $32,000. Therefore, the total cost of attending college to him should be $48,000.

Answer:

D)3 points

Explanation:

When children are involved, seatbelt tickets may mean points.

You won't typically get points if cited for failing to wear your seatbelt, but in New York, if you are ticketed for having a child in the car under age 16 without a seatbelt, the violation adds 3 points to your driving record. A seatbelt ticket will raise your rates by an average of three percent
