Answer:
25%
Explanation:
Using simple trend, to calculate the predicted sales/profit of 2018, we use;
(percentage sales of 2017 - percentage sales of 2016) ÷ percentage sales of 2016.
we have,
percentage sales in 2018 = <u>20 - 16</u>
16
= <u>4</u>
16
= 0.25.
Percentage sales in 2018 = 25% i.e 0.25 x 100%

Answer:
Jamal
Explanation:
Given that
Number of required slides = 50 slides
Creating slides Per hour = 15 slides
Bill amount per hour = $750
So by considering the above information, Bette's opportunity cost of creating slides would be
= Bill amount per hour ÷ creating slides per hour
= $750 ÷ 15 per hour
= $50
For making 50 slides, the opportunity cost would be
= $50 × 50 slides
= $2,500
And, Jamal opportunity cost is 30% lower, so it would be
= $50 - $50 × 30%
= $50 - $15
= $35
And, the billing rate is 25% higher, so it would be
= $750 + $750 × 25%
= $750 + $187.50
= $937.50
So in one hour, it would be
= $937.50 ÷ 35 slides
= 26 slides
Based on the creating slides, the Jamal gains a competitive advantage over Bette
Answer: 2.36 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it will take to pay off the initial investment/ outlay which in this case is $15,700.
= Year before investment is paid + (Amount remaining/ Cashflow in year of Payback)
Add up the cashflows to find the year before payback;
= 6,400 + 7,700
= $14,100
Year before payback = 2
Amount remaining;
= 15,700 - 14,100
= $1,600
Payback period = 2 + (1,600/ 4,500)
= 2.36 years
