Answer:

a. Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

Explanation:

This is the best way to rewrite this sentence in order to avoid the problem of the dangling modifier. A dangling modifier is a word or a phrase within a sentence that modifies a word that is not clearly stated. In this case, the original sentence makes it sound as if the meeting minutes were the ones taking the train into Boston. The reviewed sentence gets rid of this confusion.

You purchased 1,000 shares of the New Fund at a price of $20 per share at the beginning of the year. You paid a front-end load o
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

6.37%

Explanation:

Rate of return

= (Aggregate investment value after one year - Investment value) / investment value   ----- equation 1

Cost of shares =number of shares* price per share

             = 1000* $20 =$20,000

Total amount invested = Purchasing cost /(1- front-end load)

               = $20,000 / (1-0.04)

                =$20,000 / 0.96 = $20,833.333

Investment value after one year

           = Total Investment*( 1+ price increase-expense ratio)

         = $20,000( 1 +0.12 -0.012)

          = $20,000(1.12-0.012) = $20,000 * 1.108 = $22,160

From equation 1 above

Rate of return = ($22,160 - $ 20,833.333) / $20,833.333

        $ 1,326.667 / $ 20,833.333

= 0.06368001701

  = 0.0637

Since rates of return are expressed as %, we multiply the result by 100 to get

  0.0637*100 =6.37%

My rate of return on the fund will be 6.37% if I sell the shares at the end of the year.

Crusher Company has provided the following data for maintenance cost:
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Total Fixed Cost: $13,020

Explanation:

Fixed cost is calculated using high low method.

High low method seeks to find variable cost per hour / unit by dividing the difference of cost (total cost at two levels) with difference of activity level. Than variable cost is reduced from total cost to identify the fixed cost. Below is the calculation:

Current year cost: $ 37,850        Current year machine hours: 19,100

Prior year cost:      $ 33,300        Prior year machine hours:     15,600

Variable cost per machine hour = <u>Current year cost - Prior year cost</u>

                                      Current year machine hour - prior year machine hour

Variable cost per machine hour: <u>37,850 - 33,300</u> = $1.30 per machine hour

                                                       19,100 - 15,600

Variable cost current year: ($1.30 * 19,100) = $24,830

Variable cost prior year: ($1.30 * 15,600) = $20,280

Fixed cost: Total cost - variable cost

Fixed cost current year: 37,850 - 24,830 = $13,020

Fixed cost prior year:     33,300 - 20,280 = $13,020

Sue plans to mix peppermints worth $1.20 per lb with chocolates worth $2.40 per lb to get a 40 lb mix that is worth $1.65 per lb
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying  (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48  (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting  (Eq. 2) from  (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

<u>Check</u>

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66
