5 0

Answer: 7%

Explanation:

Given data:

P = $5,000

r = ?

t = 40years

i = $1,000,000

Solution:

NFW = 0 = -$5000 ( F/A , i , 40 ) + $1,000,000

( F/A , i , 40 ) = $1,000,000 / $5,000

= 200

From compound interest table

( F/A , 7% , 40 ) = 199.636

Therefore the return for the investment would be 7%

Which of the following is an example of a variable cost?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Utilities

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary proportionately with the changes in production level. Should production level rise, variable costs increases. Variable costs form the majority of the direct cost of production.

Unlike fixed costs, the monthly bill for variable costs will keep fluctuating. In this scenario, utilities represent the variable cost. Expenses on electricity, water and other consumables will vary from time to time. With a high level of production, consumption of power and water will be high.  

Rent and insurance cost will remain the same regardless of production level. A professional fee is an overhead expense. It is not an input in the production process.

For each scenario, decide whether it creates a producer or a consumer surplus. Then, calculate the ensuing surplus.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Alice's consumer surplus =  $5

Jeff's consumer surplus = $16

Nicole's producer surplus = $1

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of a good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay - price of the good

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the producer is willing to accept

Producer surplus = price of the good - least price the producer is willing to accept

Alice's consumer surplus = $30 - ($35 - $10) = $5

Jeff's consumer surplus = $20 - [$16 - (0.75 x $16)] = $16

Nicole's producer surplus = $501 - $500 = $1
