Answer:

This means that receiving 9000 today is better for us as we will have more at the end of 6 years.

Explanation:

We need to first calculate what is the future value of payments in both scenarios. If we receive $9,000 today and invest it at 10% for 6 years we will have 9000*1.10^6=15,944

If we start reviving cash in 4 annual payments 2 years from now of $3000 we will have to find the future value of each individual payment and add them up.

First payment Future value = 3000*1.10^4=4392 (Money can be invested for 4 years at 10%)

Second payment future value = 3000*1.10^3=3993 (Money can be invested for 3 years at 10%)

Third payment future value = 3000*1.10^2=3630 (Money can be invested for 4 years at 10%)

Fourth payment future value = 3000*1.1=3300

Add them all up = 15315

This means that receiving 9000 today is better for us as we will have more at the end of 6 years.

Two car manufacturers, Saab and Volvo, have fixed costs of $1 billion and marginal costs of $10,000 per car. If Saab produces 50
igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, write down Total fixed cost for each;

Fixed cost; Saab = $1,000,000,000

Fixed cost; Volvo = $1,000,000,000

Next find the Total Variable cost (TVC)

TVC = # of cars per year * marginal cost per car

Saab ; TVC = 50,000* $10,000 = $500,000,000

Volvo ; TVC = 200,000* $10,000 = $2,000,000,000

Average production cost = (Fixed cost + total variable cost) / # of cars per year

Saab = ($1,000,000,000 + $500,000,000)/ 50,000 = $30,000

Volvo = ($1,000,000,000 + $2,000,000,000)/ 200,000 = $15,000

When Farmer Hoglund applies N pounds of fertilizer per acre, the marginal product of fertilizer is 1 -N/200 bushels of corn. If
eimsori [14]

Answer:

to maximize profit, farmer must use 0.208 pounds of fertilizers

Explanation:

For profit maximization, marginal revenue must be equal to marginal cost.

Here marginal product of fertilizer= 1-N/200

selling price per busher= $4

total marginal revenue= (1-N/200)× 4

Total cost of fertilizer= 1.2N

To maximize profit

Marginal cost= marginal revenue

1.2N= (1-N/200)× 4

4.8N= 1-N/200

N= 0.208 pounds

to maximize profit, farmer must use than 0.208 pounds of fertilizers

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was $25.33

Explanation:

The formula to compute the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

where,

Total estimated manufacturing overhead = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead + estimated variable manufacturing overhead rate × estimated labor hours

= $1,230,440 + $3.12 × 55,400 hours

= $1,230,440 + $172,848

= $1,403,288

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the rate would equal to

= $1,403,288 ÷ 55,400 hours

= $25.33
