view of the Appalachian Mountains. The plans show the size of the house to be 2,900 square feet. The average price for a lot and house similar to this one has been $120 per square foot. Fortunately, Serge is a retired plumber and feels he can save money by installing the plumbing himself.

Answer:

$299,280

Explanation:

If the Tolstoys purchased the house they would pay on average $120 per sq ft x 2,900 sq ft = $348,000

If Mr. installs the plumbing and Mrs. Tolstoy decorates the house, they can save 10% (plumbing and installing plumbing fixtures) and 4% (interior decorating) = 14% of the cost

So the Tolstoys can save = $348,000 x 14% = $48,720

the cost of the house = $348,000 - $48,720 = $299,280

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is a measure of the number of times inventory is sold in a given period of time period such as in a quarter or in a year.

The formula is Cost of goods sold ÷ the average inventory.

Higher inventory is better than lower inventory because the higher the inventory turnover, the better a business is selling goods(inventories) very quickly and that demand for their product exists. While low inventory turnover depicts weaker sales and declining demand for a company's products

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $84,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you an apr of 6.6 percent fo
Margaret [11]

Answer: The monthly payment will be $2007.81.

We have:

Cost of the sports coupe (PV)                     $84,500

Annual Percentage Rate (APR)                         6.6%

Loan tenure in months (n)                                    48

We can find the monthly payment by using the Present value of an annuity formula:

\mathbf{PV_{Annuity}= PMT * \left ( \frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} \right )}

Since APR is a yearly number, we need to convert it into a monthly rate.

So , r = \frac{0.066}{12} = 0.0055

Plugging values in the PV formula above we get,

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * \left ( \frac{1-(1+0.0055)^{-48}}{0.0055} \right )}

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * \left ( \frac{1-0.768529253}{0.0055} \right )}

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * \left ( \frac{0.231470747}{0.0055} \right )}

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * 42.08559028}

\mathbf{\frac{84500}{42.08559028}= PMT}

\mathbf{PMT = 2007.813112}
