Answer:

The average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.

Explanation:

The total cost function given in the question first correctly stated as follows:

TC = 25Q^1/2 + 2,500 ................ (1)

A caseload of 25 attempted placements implies that:

Q = 25

Substitute Q = 25 into equation (1), we have:

TC = (25 * 25^(1/2)) + 2,500 = 2,625

The average cost (AC) can now be calculated as follows:

AC = TC / Q = 2,625 / 25 = 105

Therefore, the average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Callie's Gross Profit is $562000

Explanation:

Gross profit is the profit earned by a business after deducting the costs associated with producing or selling its goods (for manufacturing and trading businesses) or the costs associated with providing the services (for service businesses) from the net revenue.

It is the profit from the trading section of the business before deducting the operating and financing expenses of the business and before adding any other income.

The gross profit is simply calculated as follows,

Gross Profit = Net Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

Callie's gross profit = 940000 - 378000

Callie's Gross Profit = 562000

Firm A has earnings-per-share of $3.00. Firm B has earnings-per-share of $2 and a price-per-share of $30. Using the Price/Earnin

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Company A's price per share is $45

Explanation:

The P/E ratio of one company can be used by investors and analysts to determine the value of another companie's stock in the industry. This is called apples-to-apples comparism.

The P/E ratio is used to value a company by comparing its share price to earnings per share.

P/E ratio= market value of shares/ earnings per share

For company B

P/E ratio= 30/2= $15

Using company B's P/E ratio as a benchmark for company A

15= Price per share /3

Price per share = 15*3= $45

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20
