<span> <span>Solution:

A = P(1+r)^n

where,
A = amount
P = principal
r = rate of interest
n = number of years

Putting values in the formula,

8850 = 2750(1+0.08)^n

8850/2750 = (1+0.08)^n
log will be used to solve "n" as it is in the exponent form, which gives,

log(8850/2750) = n log(1+0.08)

By solving, we get n = log(8850/2750) / log(1+0.08)

Using financial calculator, value comes as 15.187 rounded to 15.19.

So, he will have to wait for 15.19 years to take holidays as it will take 15.19 years to make $8850 from $2750 @ 8% annual compounding.</span> </span>

A portfolio has an expected return of 12.3 percent. This portfolio contains two stocks and one risk-free security. The expected
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Investment in stock X is worth $21,387.60

Explanation:

Expected Return of the protfolio is calculated:

Stock.X.return*invest.x + Stock.Y.return*invest.Y + Risk.free*invest.RF

Where:

  • Stock X return = 9.7%
  • Stock Y Return = 17.7%
  • Risk free = 3.8% (investment in Risk free = 18,000/78,000 = 23.08%)
  • Investment in X+Y = 1 - Invetment in RF = 1 - 0.2308 = 0.7692

So, replacing the numbers

0.097*x + 0.177*Y + 0.038*0.2308 = 0.123

Where X+Y = 0.7692, so X = 0.7692-Y

0.097*(0.7692-Y) + 0.177*Y = 0.123 - 0.0088

Then

0.0746 - 0.097*Y + 0.177*Y = 0.1142

0.08*Y = 0.0396

So Y = 0.0396/0.08 = 0.495 = 49.5%

X = 0.7692 - 0.495 = 0.2742 = 27.42%

27.42% * 78000 =

If the marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.25, investment spending (I) is $600 million, and the government increases its purc
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 0.25

Investment spending (I) = $600 million

Government purchases increases by $150 million

MPC - Marginal propensity to consume

MPC + MPS = 1

MPC = 1 - 0.25

= 0.75

Government spending multiplier = \frac{1}{1 - MPC}

= \frac{1}{1 - 0.75}

= 4

Increase in Real GDP = Government spending multiplier × Increase in government purchases

= 4 × 150

= $600 million

Job-Order Costing and Decision Making [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3]
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a. $21 per machine hours

b. $4,855          

Explanation:

a. The computation of the plantwide predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

Plantwide predetermined overhead rate is

= Variable overhead cost rate per machine hour + Fixed overhead cost rate per machine hour

= $2 + (fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours)

= $2 + ($4,275,000 ÷  225,000 machine hours)

= $2 + $19

= $21 per machine hour

b. Now the total manufacturing cost assigned is

Particulars                                      Amount

Direct material                               $1,702        

Direct labor                                $1,221

Variable manufacturing overhead $168

(84 × $2)

Total variable cost                        $3,091

Add:

Fixed manufacturing overhead

(84 × $21)                                $1,764

Total manufacturing cost assigned

to Job P90                                    $4,855

Becky Smith signed a note in the amount of $200,000 in favor of Country Home Loans, Inc., to obtain a loan to buy a house in Mar
igomit [66]

Answer:

The explanation is given below:

Explanation:

According to this situation it can be defined as

Pursuant to U.C.C. § 3-203, transfer of instrument is when an instrument is delivered by a person other than an issuer for the purpose of giving to a receiver the right to enforce the instrument. The transfer vests in a transferee the transferor's right to enforce the instrument. The rights include the right as a holder in due course. However, the transferee cannot acquire rights of a holder in due course by a transfer, directly or indirectly, from a holder in due course if the transferee engaged in fraud or illegality affecting the instrument. When an instrument is transferred for value , a transferee does not become a holder because of lack of indorsement. Moreover, when a transferor purports to transfer less than the entire instrument, the negotiation of the instrument does not occur.

The best response of Fannie mae’s to this argument is because Becky Smith signed a note and she cannot own that property as the note was in country home loans name and he defaulted payment under that law.
