Elis [28]

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.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

CC100  has $31.25 per hour

CC11O has $250 per hour

CC120 has $62.5 per hour

CC190 has $62.5 per hour

Explanation:

The IDC rate for each department would be the department IDC allocated divided by operating hours as shown below:

CC100

IDC rate=$25,000/800=$31.25 per hour

CC110

IDC rate=$50,000/200=$250 per hour

CC120

IDC rate=$75,000/1200=$62.5 per hour

CC190

IDC rate=$100,000/1600=$62.5 per hour

Judging from the IDC rates of the departments,department CCC110 seems to have the highest IDC rate per hour,which implies that each hour is charged with $250 against the CC100 where each operating hours is just $31.25.

The higher the IDC rate in a department the higher the cost of the output of that department since the cost has to be recovered from output.
