Answer:

61,500 units

Explanation:

                                                      July           August            September

budgeted sales                         46,500         58,500             <u> </u><u>61,500</u>

budgeted production                47,050         58,800              63,150

beginning inventory                    5,300           5,850               6,150

ending inventory                         5,850           6,150                 7,800

ending inventory August = beginning inventory + budgeted production - budgeted sales = 5,850 + 58,800 - 58,500 = 6,150

units sold during September = beginning inventory + budgeted production - ending inventory = 6,150 + 63,150 - 7,800 = 61,500

Suppose a U.S. Treasury bond will pay $2,500 five years from now. If the prevailing interest rate on 5-year Treasury bonds is 4.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The value of the bond today is closest to $1648.85

Explanation:

The value of the bond today is closest to:

Present Value = FV / (1+i)^n *m

FV= 2500

I = 4.25 = 0.0425

N= 5

M= 2

The value of the bond today = 2500 / (1+0.0425) ^5*2

The value of the bond today = 2500 / 1.516214468

The value of the bond today = 1648.853256

The value of the bond today = $1648.85

Ithaca is considering a new $45,000 snowplow that will save the city $400 per day of use compared to the existing one. It should
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a/ 20 days per year on average

b/ The use of road salt to is an effective deicer method. However, it will eventually causes some harmful impact on the environment including but not limited to increasing in water/soild salinity, contamination of public drinking waters, destroy the soild structure and slowly killing of trees and plants. Luckily, there are some other options which are more environment-friendly such as Cheese brine, Sand, Urea, Beet molasses

Explanation:

a/ To evaluate the investment of the new snowplow, denote X is the average amount of saving per a year as the new snowplow is used.

    Consider the average amount of saving as an annuity for the next 12 years, with the discount rate of 14%. The present value (PV) = 45,000 - 2,500/1.14^(-12) =$44,481.1

   Thus, to obtain the rate of return of 14%, PV of the annuity should be equals to $44,481.1 meaning: 44,481.1= (X/14%) x [ 1 - 1.14^(-12)] <=> X = $7858.44

   As one day use would save Ithaca $400, to achieve the targeted saving of $7858.44, the city has to use the snowplow at least 20 days per year ( 7858.44/400)

How van an oligopoly cause market failure (8)​
Sladkaya [172]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

An oligopoly can cause market failure because companies that form the oligopoly do not allow other companies to enter and compete in the market. This action limits consumers to choose from a variety of options, including quality, the best price, and service.

Often, oligopoly associates the strongest or more powerful companies in order to wipe out other minor competitors. They want to establish a dominant presence that affects prices and consumers participation.

Oligopoly practices result in inefficiency and instability in the market. That is why oligopolies are not good for the economy.

The automobile industry is mostly associated with an oligopoly.

When a market is controlled by just a few numbers of companies, but none of them is above the others, we are talking about an oligopoly. They can collude intentionally or not, to establish prizes and to not let other companies compete with them.
