Let the present age of Sandy be 'x' .

So, present age of Megan will be = x + 5

Therefore age of Sandy four years ago = x - 4
Age of Megan four years ago = x + 5 - 4 = x + 1


It is given that four years ago Megan was three years less than three times Sandys age.

So, an equation can be formed as follows;

=  > x + 1 = 3(x  - 4) - 3 \\  \\  =  > x  + 1 = 3x - 12 - 3 \\  \\  =  > 1 + 15 = 3x - x \\  \\  =  > 2x = 16 \\  \\  =  > x = 8
Therefore the present age of Sandy is 8 years.

Sandy is currently 8 years old. 

Start by using x for Sandy's current age and x + 5 for Megan's current age. 

Since we know the above, we can find their age's as of 4 years ago as both of those minus 4. So Sandy 4 years ago was x - 4 years old and Megan was x + 1 years old. 

Now we can set up an equation that shows that Megan's age 4 years ago was equal to Sandy's age 4 years ago times 3 minus 3. 

x + 1 = 3(x - 4) - 3
x + 1 = 3x - 12 - 3
x + 1 = 3x - 15
x + 16 = 3x
16 = 2x
8 = x

Which is Sandy's current age.

The method of identifying the advantages and disadvantages of various options by looking at the incremental impact on total revenue and total cost caused by a very modest change in the value or input of each alternative (just one unit). Instead of making decisions based on totals or averages, marginal analysis encourages those that focus on small or gradual changes to resources. Examining the costs and possible gains of particular business operations or financial choices is known as marginal analysis. The objective is to ascertain whether the benefits from the change in activity will be great enough to outweigh the costs.

A student has a savings account earning 9% simple interest. She must pay $1400 for first-semester tuition by September 1 and $14
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: The answer is $2,759.22

Explanation: From the question above, we have:

September 1st to January 1st is 4 months, this is 1/3 of a year which means that the student will earn:

=> 9/3 = 3%

3% interest for the money that is saved is the savings account. So the student must put in at least:

x + 3%x = 1400

x + 0.03x = 1400

1.03x = 1400

x = 1400 / 1.03

x = 1,359.22

Therefore, if the student saves $1,359.22 in the savings account By September 1st, she will have $1400 by January 1st.

Also, the student needs to make $1400 for the first semester. So overall she will need to make:

1,400 + 1,359.22 = $2,759.22 during the summer in order to ensure that she will have enough money to pay for both semesters.

Alternative A Alternative B Materials costs $28,000 $64,000 Processing costs $34,000 $34,000 Equipment rental $11,000 $28,500 Oc
stira [4]

Answer:

$61,600

Explanation:

The differential cost analysis is an analysis in which the costs of two alternatives is taken into consideration and based on those costs it is decided that which alternative is suitable in terms of increment that has been lost by other alternative. That is why it is also known as alternative cost. To calculate the differential cost, it is simple, subtract the cost of 1st alternative from the 2nd and you will get the differential cost. Basically this tool helps in decision making when deciding to choose between two alternatives.

In the question we have been asked to find the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A, including all of the relevant costs. To do that first we need to find the differential costs among all the relevant costs and then sum all the differences to find the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A.

(a)

Differential Cost of Alternative B over Alternative A is;

Materials costs =  $64,000 - $28,000 = $36,000

Processing costs =  $34,000 - $34,000 = $0

Equipment rental =  $28,500 - $11,000 = $17,500

Occupancy costs = $27,600 - $19,500 = $8,100

(b)

Now the Total Cost which is Differential Cost of Alternative B over Alternative A is;

$36,000 + $0 + $17,500 + $8,100

$61,600
