What time does the social security office close?

To manufacture 3,000 pairs of sandals in a week, a firm can use 3,600 workers and 135 machines or 270 machines and 3,300 workers

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

Explanation:

a. For 3,600 workers and 135 machines

Worker technical efficiency = 3,600/3,000 = $120%

Machine technical efficiency = 135 / 3,000 = 4.50%

Average technical efficiency = (120% + 4.5%) / 2 = 62.25%

b. For 270 machines and 3,300 workers.

Worker technical efficiency = 270/3,000 = $9%

Machine technical efficiency = 3,300 / 3,000 = 110%

Average technical efficiency = (9% + 110%) / 2 = 59.50%

Conclusion

Since the average technical efficiency of 62.25% is higher than 59.50%, 3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

What are mutual funds? Explain the associated risks.

ipn [44]

Answer:

A mutual fund is an investment program funded by shareholders that trades in diversified holdings and is professionally managed.

Risks:

The level of risk in a mutual fund depends on what it invests in. Stocks are generally riskier than bonds, so an equity fund tends to be riskier than a fixed income fund. Plus some specialty mutual funds focus on certain kinds of investments, such as emerging markets, to try to earn a higher return. These kinds of funds also tend to have a greater risk of a larger drop in value—yet the greater the risk, the greater the reward (or potential for higher returns).

Risks of Investing in Equity Mutual Funds The below are a few key risks involved with investing in equity funds: Volatility Risk: An equity fund invests primarily in the shares of companies listed on stock exchanges. Thus, the value of an equity fund is directly related to the performance of companies, in stocks of which it has invested.

Shane wants to invest money in a 6% CD account that compounds semiannually. Shane would like the account to have a balance of $1

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Amount deposit = $118,411.4 (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Future amount = $150,000

Rate of interest = 6% compounds semiannual

Number of year = 4 year

Find:

Amount deposit

Computation:

Compounds semiannual

So,

Rate of interest = 6% / 2 = 0.03

Time taken = 4 x 2 = 8 times

So,

A = P[1+r]ⁿ

150,000 = p[1+0.03]⁸

150,000 = p[1.03]⁸

150,000 = p[1.26677]

p = 150,000 / 1.26677

p = 118,411.393

Amount deposit = $118,411.4 (Approx.)
