Answer:

False

Explanation:

Natalie can return the washing machine without being liable for any replacement costs. Natalie is a minor, and minors cannot legally sign a contract except for purchasing necessities, e.g. food, clothes.  

Since the washing machine probably had a significant cost, there should have been a written contract between the parties. The rental company should have requested Natalie some type of legal identification before renting the washing machine and signing the contract. Their only possible defense is that Natalie used a forged ID when she rented the machine, and that they were ticked by it.

But if the rental company cannot prove that Natalie tricked them using some fake ID, then Natalie has the right to void the contract and return the item. It doesn't matter if the washing machine suffered damages or not, Natalie is not liable for any reparation or replacement costs.

Martha Manufacturing produces a single product that sells for $80. Variable costs per unit equal $32. The company expects total
garri49 [273]
Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold

If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:

(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000

24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.

Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units

We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!

Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?

(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833

Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)

Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?

10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72

10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200

Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000

Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)

Answer:

$1,088.12

Explanation:

The formula for calculating monthly repayments is as below.

M=  P x   <u>  r      </u>

              1 − (1+r)−^n

where p is the loan amount = $220,000

r = 4.3per cent or 0.043 % interest rate per year,

 on monthly basis r will be 0.043/12=0.00358%

n = 30 year, which is 30 x 12 months= 360 months

M= $220,000 x <u> 0.00358    </u>

                         1 - (1+0.00358 ) ^ - 360

M=$220,000 x<u>  0.00358  </u>

                         1- 0.2762

M = $220,000 x (0.00358 /0.7238)

M = $220,000 x 0.0049461

M = 1,088.12

Monthly payments will be $1,088.12
