Answer:

4 shirts

Explanation:

Principle of Optimization at the​ Margin states that the individual maximises utility when consuming a prpduct as long as the marginal benefit exceeds to marginal cost. If marginal cost is greater than the benefit the consumer will find another alternative.

In this instance Maria sees the short as value of $40, while sale price is $21

So when she buys the first shirt her perceived cost is now 40- 5= $35

For the second shirt perceived cost is 35-5= $30

For the third shirt perceived cost is 30-5= 25$

For the fourth shirt it is 25-5= $20

At this stage cost is slightly higher than the benefit and she will stop buying shirts.

Yehle Inc. regularly uses material Y51B and currently has in stock 457 liters of the material for which it paid $2,619 several w
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer,$5810

Explanation:

The relevant of the Y51B is the cost of replacement,which is the open market price as it is actively being used by Yehle Inc.

Besides, if the quantity currently in inventory is used it has to be replaced at open market price.

Disposal value would have been used if the material in question is not being used

The relevant of 700 liters is given below:

$5.81*1000=$5,810

1000 liters has to be bought not 700 liters as the least quantity available for sale is 1000 liters.

Above,it would be wrong to choose option D as 700 liters is not available

Suppose that $2500 is placed in a savings account at an annual rate of 5%, compounded quarterly. Assuming that no withdrawals ar
babymother [125]

Answer:

number of periods = 8 years.

Explanation:

We know,

Future Value = Present value × (1 + r)^{n}

Here,

Present value = PV = $2,500

Future value = FV = $3,500

Interest rate (Compounding) = 5% = 0.05

We have to determine how many years (Periods) it will take, n = ?

Putting the values into the above formula,

$3,500 = $2,500 × (1 + 0.05)^{n}

or, (1 + 0.05)^{n} = $3,500 ÷ $2,500

or, n log 1.05 = 1.4

or, n × 0.17609 = 1.4

or, n =  1.4 ÷ 0.17609

Therefore, number of years = 7.95 or 8 years.

Shawn Bixby borrowed $21,000 on a 120-day, 12% note. After 70 days, Shawn paid $2,400 on the note. On day 100, Shawn paid an add
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Ending Balance Due = $14,980.106

Total Interest = $780.106

Explanation:

solution

Total Interest and Ending balance due by the U.S. Rule are as given below

so interest is here for 70 day with 12 % of 21000

interest = 0.12 × 21000 ×  \frac{70}{360}

interest = $490

so

payment = $2400 - $490

payment = $1,910

and adjusted balance  will be after that

adjusted balance  = $21,000 - $1,910

adjusted balance  = $19,090

and

on 100 day

Interest  =  0.12 × $19,090  ×  \frac{30}{360}

Interest  =  $190.9

and

Payment  = $4,400 - $190.9

payment = $4209.1

So

adjusted balance  = $19090  - $4209.1

adjusted balance  = $14,880.9

and interest = $14,880.9 × 0.12  ×  \frac{20}{360}

interest = $99.206

so Ending Balance Due  will be

Ending Balance Due = $14,880.9 + $99.206

Ending Balance Due = $14,980.106

and

Total Interest = $490 + $190.9 + $99.206

Total Interest = $780.106
