The following information for the past year for the Blaine Corporation has been provided:Fixed costs:Manufacturing$ 125, 000$125

natima [27]

Answer:

D. 76.6 %

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

<em>First Calculate the Contribution</em>

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

= (60,000 units × $ 12.40) - ($110,000+$30,000+$34,000)

= $744,000 - $174,000

= $570,000

<em>Then Calculate Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Contribution Margin Ratio = $570,000 / $744,000 × 100

= 76.61290

= 76.6 % ( 1 decimal)

FV = PV Times (1 + r)^n
FV = PV + (PV Times r Times n)
False
False
True
Laura should invest in investment P

Investment = L FV = $66,485.49 Make this investment? No

Investment = M FV = $59,400 Make this investment? No

Investment = P FV = $77,318.37 Make this investment? Yes

Explanation:

Compound interest: FV = PV Times (1 + r)^n
Simple interest: FV = PV + (PV Times r Times n)
The process of earning compound interest allows a depositor or investor to earn interest on any interest earned in prior periods. False
After the end of the second year and all other factors remaining equal, a future value based on compound interest will never exceed the future value based on simple interest. False
All other factors being equal, both the simple interest and the compound interest methods will accrue the same amount of earned interest by the end of the first year. True

Investment = L

Interest rate and method = 5% compound interest

Expected Future Value, FV = PV (1 + r)^n

FV = 45000 (1 + 0.05)^8

FV = 45000 * (1.05)^8

FV = 45000 * 1.477455 = $66,485.49

Make this investment? Yes / No

Investment = M

Interest rate and method = 4% simple interest

Expected Future Value, FV = PV + (PV * r * n)

FV = 45000 + (45000 * 0.04 * 8)

FV = 45000 + 14400 = $59,400

Make this investment? Yes / No

Investment = P

Interest rate and method = 7% compound interest

Expected Future Value, FV = PV (1 + r)^n

FV = 45000 (1 + 0.07)^8

FV = 45000 * (1.07)^8

FV = 45000 * 1.718186 = $77,318.37

Make this investment? Yes / No

Since she can only make one investment during the eight-year investment period, Laura should invest in investment P

What is necessary for someone to even get the oppurtunity to accumulate 10,000 hours of practice at something?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

<em>10 hours per week in 20 years, 20 hours per week in 10 years or 40 hours per week in 5 years.</em>

Explanation:

According to the author Malcolm Gladwel, with his book “Outliers. The success story ”, says that to achieve excellence, you must have an accumulation of 10,000 hours of practice, this means 10 hours per week in 20 years, 20 hours per week in 10 years or 40 hours per week in 5 years.

The author analyzes the importance of culture, family, friends, ancestors and other determining factors in the success of his projects.

Gladwell cites Mozart's example, recognized as a great genius. A composer began at age 7 and it is true that we know that some good pieces were written at the time of his adolescence. But the great symphonies were written after the age of 21, when he had already accumulated more than 10,000 hours of practice, in compositions and interpretations.

From this idea of 10,000 hours of practice, a level of knowledge acquired is possible based on a scale of magnitude of 10 hours, in an approximate way:

With 1 hour: We can know the basics.

With 10 hours: We have a broader notion of the basics.

With 100 hours: A medium level is acquired.

With 1,000 hours: It advances to be a specialist.

With 10,000 hours: One can master complications in that skill.
