In an effort to reduce pipe breakage, water hammer, and product agitation, a French chemical company plans to install several ch

emically resistant pulsation dampeners. The cost of the dampeners today is €125,000, but the chemical company has to wait until a permit is approved for its bidirectional port-to-plant product pipeline. The permit approval process will take at least 2 years because of the time required for preparation of an environmental impact statement. Because of intense foreign competition, the manufacturer plans to increase the price only by the inflation rate of 4% each year. Determine the cost of the dampeners in 5 years in terms of (a) then-current euros and (b) constant-value euros?

Answer:

a)  €152081.6128

b)  €125000

Explanation:

a) The cost of dampners in terms of then-current euros :

current cost x(1 + inflation rate)ⁿ where n is the number of years.

Since the price of dampners is expected to increase only by 4% per year from the current price of €125,000 in 5 years:

We calculate : 125000 (1+0.04)⁵ = €152081.6128

The cost of dampeners in terms of then-current euros is €152081.6128

b) The cost of dampners in terms of constant value will remain as at today's current price if the value of Euros remains constant . Therefore, The cost of dampeners in terms of constant-value euros is €125,000.

Steve and Hillary can mow the lawn in 60 minutes if they work together. If Hillary works three times as fast as Steve, how long
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Steve will take 240 minutes or 4 hours.

Explanation:

Steve and Hillary can mow a lawn in 60 minutes by working together. However, Hillary works three times faster than Steve.

Let's assume Steve takes takes x minutes to mow alone.

This implies that Hillary can mow alone in x/3 minutes.

In a minute, Steve can mow 1/x of the lawn, so this means Hillary can mow 3/x of the lawn.

In a minute together then can mow,

= \frac{1}{x} + \frac{3}{x}

= \frac{4}{x}

In 60 minutes they can mow

= \frac{4}{x} \times 60

= \frac{240}{x}

This means that it takes 4 hours for Steve to mow the lawn alone.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: 19.29%

Explanation:

From the question, Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 18% and 57% of the portfolio is put in​ Fremont. The portfolio return of Fremont will be the expected return multiplied by the weight. This will be:

= 18% × 57%

= 18 × 0.57

= 10.26%

We are also told that Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 21% and that 43% of the portfolio is put in​ Laurelhurst News. The portfolio return here will be the expected return multiplied by the weight. This will be:

= 21% × 43%

= 21% × 0.43

= 9.03%

The the expected return of the portfolio will now be:

= 10.26% + 9.03%

= 19.29%

In making adjusting entries at the end of its accounting period, chao consulting failed to record $3,700 of insurance coverage t
Rama09 [41]

It is given that the company failed to record $3,700 of insurance coverage that had expired and accrued salaries expense of $2,250. It means the company has failed to record the total expenses of (3700+2250) = $5,950. This understatement of the expenses shall result in an overstatement of the income in the Income statement. Further, it will also result in the overstatement of assets (Prepaid Insurance) by $3,700 and understatement of liabilities for salaries payable by $2,250.


As a result of these two oversights, the financial statements for the reporting period will show overstatement of the income by $5,950 in the Income statement and overstatement of assets (Prepaid Insurance) by $3,700 and understatement of liabilities for salaries payable by $2,250 in the balance sheet.
