Answer:

•8.74 pounds of robust blend

• 1.25 pounds of mild blend

Explanation:

We are given:

•12 ounces, 6 ounces of mild blend Colombian beans

•4 ounces, 10 ounces of mild blend Brazilian beans.

From the question, we get the following equations:

1) Colombian: 12x + 6y = 1800

2) Brazilian: 4x + 10y = 760

Let's multiply the Brazilian equation by 3, we now have:

Colombian: 12x + 6y = 1800

Brazilian : 12x + 30y = 2280

Solving simultaneously, we have:

-24y = - 480

Therefore,

y = -480/-24

y= 20 oz

y = 20 oz ( divide by 16 to convert to pounds) = 1.25 pounds

Let's solve for x from Brazilian equation:

4x + 10y = 760

Therefore, since y = 20, we have:

4x + 10(20) = 760

= 4x + 200 = 760

= 4x = 760 - 200

= 4x = 560

Therefore

x = 560/4

x = 140

140 oz = 8.74 pounds

Therefore, they should make;

8.74 pounds of robust blend and 1.25 pounds of mild blend.

Answer:

1800ounces of robust blend requires 1350 ounces of Colombian beans and 450 ounces of Brazilian beans

760ounces of Mild beans requires 285ounces of Colombian beans  and 475ounces of Brazilian beans

the total of Colombian beans needed in both is 1350+285 =1635 ounce

the total of Brazilian beans needed is 450+475 =925 ounce

Explanation:

A pound of the robust blend requires 12 ounces of Colombian beans and 4 ounces of Brazilian beans

Let robust blend be represented as Rb

Let Colombian beans be represented as Cb

Let Brazilian beans be represented as Bb

  • The ounce is abbreviated oz
  • 1 pound is 16oz

1 pound of Rb = 12oz of Cb + 4oz of Bb

16oz of Rb = 12oz of Cb + 4oz of Bb( it is in ratio of 12:4 which is 3:1, meaning Cb is three parts of four while Bb takes one parts of four)

To make 1800 ounces of Rb

Divide by 4 = 1800/4 = 450

Brazilian beans is one part which is 450oz

Colombian beans is three parts = 3 x 450 = 1350oz

1800oz of Rb = 1350oz of Cb + 450oz of Bb

A pound of the mild blend requires 6 ounces of Colombian beans and 10 ounces of Brazilian beans.

Let mild blend be represented as Mb

Let Colombian beans be represented as Cb

Let Brazilian beans be represented as Bb

  • The ounce is abbreviated oz
  • 1 pound is 16oz

1 pound of Rb = 6oz of Cb + 10oz of Bb

16oz of Rb = 6oz of Cb + 10oz of Bb( it is in ratio of 6:10 which is 3:5, adding 3 and 5 we get 8; meaning Cb is three parts of eight while Bb takes five parts of eight)

To make 760 ounces of Mb

Divide by 8 = 760/8 = 95

Colombian beans is three parts of eight which is 3 x 95 =285oz

Brazilian beans is five parts of eight which is 5 x 95 = 475oz

760oz of Mb = 285oz of Cb + 475oz of Bb

1800ounces of robust blend requires 1350 ounces of Colombian beans and 450 ounces of Brazilian beans

760ounces of Mild beans requires 285ounces of Colombian beans  and 475ounces of Brazilian beans

the total of Colombian beans needed in both is 1350+285 =1635 ounce

the total of Brazilian beans needed is 450+475 =925 ounce

If cost of goods sold under FIFO was $8,000 and was $10,000 under LIFO, assuming a tax rate of 40%, how much tax savings resulte
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$800

Explanation:

The computation of the tax saving from using LIFO is shown below:

= Cost of goods sold under LIFO × tax rate  - Cost of goods sold under FIFO × tax rate

= $10,000 × 40% - $8,000 × 40%

= $4,000 - $3,200

= $800

By applying the above formula, the tax saving resulted from using the LIFO is $800 and the same is to be considered

An investor pays $900 for a bond with a principal value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%. How much in annual interest will the
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Annual Interest = $80

Interest rate = 8.89%

Explanation:

The investor pays discounted price for this bond.

We know, Annual Interest = Coupon payment/Market value

Given,

Coupon payment = Principal value*Coupon rate

Coupon payment = $1,000*8% = $80

Market value = Price pays for the bond = $900

Therefore, the annual interest rate = $80/$900

Annual Interest rate = 8.89%

Note that, coupon payment is the annual interest rate.

One difference between a monopoly and a competitive firm is that A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve. B. a monop
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve.

Explanation:

In business, it is seen to occur because they have no competition, monopolists have no incentive to improve their products. A lot of their focus is instead placed on maintaining monopolistic conditions through bribing their way and other tactics that dissuade competitors from entering the market.

 Demand curve slopes downward, this is said to decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity and in the eyes of the monopolist, cash is lost with each additional unit been produced, causing marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue. This causes the restricted output and higher costs that characterize products produced by monopolists.

Because the demand curve slopes downward, marginal revenue decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity. Thus, the monopolist loses money with each additional unit produced, as marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.
