You would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent peter's money.
(2 · x) + $3 = $10

Now, all you would have to do is solve it.

First, you would need to simplify it.
2x + $3 = $10

Then, you would need to combine like terms.
2x = $7

The last step would be to isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 2.

x = $3.5

Peter has $3.5.

I hope this helps!

Shawn has $10 which is $3 more than twice as much as Peter has

p= Peter's money
10=2p +3
-3 -3
7=2p
3.50=p

so Peter has $3.50

hope this helps!!

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She has a choice of receiving a payment of $160,000 immediately or of receiving deferred perpetuity with $10,000 annual payments, the first payment occurring in exactly four years.

A) i= 5%

First, we need to determine the value of the perpetuity four years from now.

Perpetuity= 10,000/0.05= 200,000

Now, we can calculate the present value:

PV= 200,000/(1.05^4)= $164,540.50

B) i= 6%

Perpetuity= 10,000/0.06= $166,666.67

PV= $166,666.67/1.06^4= $132,015.61

C) She should consider her necessities of cash and the value of the products she can purchase now.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a) 25,000

Explanation:

The computation of the economic profit is shown below;

Economic profit is

= Revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit cost

= $550,000 - $500,000 - $500,000 × 5%

= $550,000 - $500,000 - $25000

= $25,000

Hence, the economic profit on this deal was $25,000

Therefore the correct option is a.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

Explain why each of the following statements is a rationale for conducting active or passive policy: Economic circumstances can

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The rationale for conducting active policy is the interest of Congress to alter the state of the economy through a deliberate change in established policies.

But in the case of Passive policy, the government permits the status quo.

Active policy relies on the government to enforce it while passive policy does not need the government's interference to work in stabilizing the economy.

Explanation:

The following statements applies passive policy because the economy is expected to stabilize on it's own without the deliberate act of congress influencing it:

Economic circumstances can change dramatically between the time that an economic downturn begins and the time when policy actions have an effect on the economy.
Fluctuations in economic output have been less severe since World War II.

The following statements is a rationale for conducting active policy since the government's intervention is required:

Economists are not very accurate forecasters.
Increases in government spending generate increases in economic output.

At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 30,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to m

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.20 per unit

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $4 unit

Explanation:

The computation of Cost per equivalent unit of material, Cost per equivalent unit of conversion is shown below:-

For computing the cost per equivalent first we need to find the equivalent unit of material which is below:-

= Transferred units + ( Department units × Material percentage)

= 135,000 + (20,000 × 40%)

= 135,000 + 8,000

= 143,000

So, the Cost per equivalent unit of material = (Beginning material cost + Current month material cost) ÷ Equivalent unit of material

= ($32,400 + $282,240) ÷ 143,000

= $314,640 ÷ 143,000

= $2.20 per unit

Now, For computing the Cost per equivalent unit of conversion first we need to find the equivalent unit of conversion cost which is below:-

= Transferred units + ( Department units × Conversion percentage)

= 135,000 + (20,000 × 15%)

= 135,000 + 3,000

= 138,000

So, the Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (Beginning conversion cost + Current month conversion cost) ÷ Equivalent unit of conversion cost

= ($6,250 + $544,700) ÷ 138,000

= $550,950 ÷ 138,000

= 3.99

or $4 unit

A competitive firm currently produces and sells 7,500 units of output at a price of $2.50 per unit. The firm's average fixed cos

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A. $-2,250

B. The firm should continue to operate in the short run because price is greater than average variable cost

C.The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

D. In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost. As firms exit the industry, supply would fall and this would lead to an excess of demand over supply. As a result, price would rise

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

( $2.50 - $2.80) × 7,500 = $-2,250

The firm is earning a loss

A firm should shutdown in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.

Average variable cost = average total cost- average total cost

$2.80 - $0.75 = $2.05

2.50 > 2.05 so the firm should continue to operate in the short run.

The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost

I hope my answer helps you.
