Answer:

5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenya coffee

Explanation:

First, we need to know the proportion of every coffee in the mix trying with different percentages until getting the result of $13,49  

 

($9,50*25%)+($13,80*75%)=$12,73  

 

($9,50*10%)+($13,80*90%)=$13,37  

 

($9,50*7,5%)+($13,80*92,5%)=$13,48  

 

($9,50*7,3%)+($13,80*92,7%)=$13,49  

 

So, the percentage of Costa Rican coffee is 7,3% and Kenya coffee is 92,7%  

And we can get the pounds required to get 70 pounds  

 

70*7,3%=5,11

 

70*92,7%=64,89

   

We need 5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenyan coffee to create 70 pounds of mixed coffee that can sell for $13,49 per pound

LenKa [72]

Answer:

$11,160.097

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Future value of machine = $44,309.00

Time, n = 16 years

Discount rate, r = 9.00% = 0.09

Now,

The amount Derek is will to pay will be the present value  of the machine

Also,

we know

Future value = Present value × (1 + r)ⁿ

on substituting the respective values, we get

$44,309.00 = Present value × (1 + 0.09 )¹⁶

or

$44,309.00 = Present value × 3.97

or

Present value = $44,309.00 ÷ 3.97

or

Present value = $11,160.097
