You and your friends have decided to build a skateboard ramp behind your house. You have already purchased $500 in materials and

are considering renting an electric saw. It costs $20/hour to rent an electric saw. You estimate it will take 6 hours to build the ramp. If you decide to use your saw, which is a handsaw, you will not have to pay anything to rent an electric saw, but it will take 15 hours to build the ramp. Regardless of the decision, you will need to ask for time off from your job, which pays $8/hour.

Answer:

Hand saw is cheaper.

Explanation:

Given:

Material cost = $500

Electric saw cost rent per hour = $20

Building hour from electric saw = 6 hour

Building hour from hand saw = 15 hour

Time off pay from job = $8/hour

Computation of total cost from Electric saw :

Total cost from Electric saw = Material cost + Renting cost of electric saw + Time of from job

Total cost from Electric saw = $500 + (6 × $20) + (6 × $8)

Total cost from Electric saw = $500 + $120 + $48

Total cost from Electric saw = $668

Computation of total cost from hand saw :

Total cost from hand saw = Material cost + Time of from job

Total cost from hand saw = $500 + (15 × $8)

Total cost from hand saw = $500 + $120

Total cost from hand saw = $620

Hand saw is cheaper.

How can you get your money back if you send a p2p payment to the wrong person?.
gladu [14]

When a payment is sent to the wrong person using p2p, the money cannot be gotten back since it is equivalent to giving money to a wrong account. However, the person can lay a complaint to the customer service to take action.

<h3>What is P2P Payment?</h3>

P2P payment is a system of payment where money is sent to another member of the crypto community in exchange for a coin to be sent to the individual's wallet. It is equivalent to giving someone cash.

When a user mistakenly sends money to the wrong person, the money cannot be gotten back. But if the sender has the details of the wrong receiver, an appeal can be made for the money to be reversed. However, if this is not the case, then the money would have to be forfeited.

If Congress passes a plan to cut the national debt in half, then:
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

3) AD shifts right and output would decrease.

Explanation:

Aggregate demand (AD) is the total number of goods demanded in an economy in a period of time.

If Congress decides to cut the National debt (or accumulated debt of the government) by half, this will make interest rates lower and will encourage investment from the private sector.

The shifting to the right occurs when these components; consumption spending and investment spending increases due to cut in National debt.

The AD curve will shift back to the left as these components decreases.

A store manager must decide how many rug cleaners to rent to customers. The manager estimates that the first would yield $200 a
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The store manager must decide to buy 3

Explanation:

Given that:

  • The first:  $200 a year
  • The second $150
  • The third $75,
  • The fourth $50
  • Interest rate is 12 percent
  • Investment: $500

As we know that the rate of return will be: Income / Investment

So the rate of return of:

  • The first:  $200 / $500 = 0.4 = 40%
  • The second $150 / $500 = 0,3 = 30%
  • The third $75 / $500 = 0.15 = 15%
  • The fourth $50 / $500 = 0.1 = 10%

Only three rug cleaners have the rate of return greater than the interest rate so the store manager must decide to buy 3
