Answer:

8.06%

Explanation:

According to the Fisher equation

( 1 + Total rate of return) = (1 + real rate of return) x ( 1 + inflation rate)

(1.14) = (1.055) x ( 1 + inflation rate)

Inflation rate = 1.080569 - 1 = 0.080569 = 8.06%

Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High driven in kilometers - Low driven in kilometers)

where,

High operating cost = 114,000 km × 12.7%

= $14,478

Low operating cost = 76,000 km  × 14.8%

= $11,248

So,

= ($14,478 - $11,248) ÷ (114,000 km - 76,000 km)

= $3,230 ÷ 38,000 km

= $0.085 per km

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High operating cost - (High driven in kilometers × Variable cost per km)

= $14,478 - (114,000 km × $0.085)

= $14,478 - $9,690

= $4,7882

2. The equation is as follows

Y = a + bx

So,

Total cost = $4,788 + 0.085X

3.

Y = a + bx

   = $4,788 + 0.085 × 95,000

   = $4,788 + $8,075

   = $12,863

garri49 [273]
When a company expands by entering a new business area, it is called growth through diversification. 

Diversity is the means of being different, new, exciting.. something not like another. When a business enters something new, it's called diversification because it's not like what they've done before. With this comes risk but huge growth potential.

Franklin Templeton has just invested $8,860 for his son (age one). This money will be used for his son’s education 18 years from
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Future value (FV) = $57,908

Present value (PV) = $8,860

Number of years (n) = 18 years

Interest rate = ?

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18

$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18

<u>$57,908</u> = (1 + r)18

$8,860

6.535891648 = (1 + r)18

18√6.535891648 = 1 + r  

1.10993 - 1 = r

r = 0.10992 = 10.99%

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the future value of a lump sum (single investment) formula. The present value, future value and number of years are given with the exception of interest rate. Thus, interest rate is made the subject of the formula.

Ang daan patungo sa isang malinis na paaralan ay isang malinis na silid aralan nang paisa-isa. Magsimula sa pamamagitan ng pakikipag-usap sa mga guro at mga gawaing maaari nilang magawa upang mapanatili ang kanilang silid-aralan at silid-pahingahan ng guro.

Halimbawa, ang mga bata at guro ay maaaring magtabi ng isang oras bawat linggo upang malinis at maiwaksi ang silid aralan. Ang mga guro at iba pang kawani ay maaaring maghugas ng kanilang mga tasa ng kape at baso pagkatapos magamit, at punasan ang anumang pagkalat o gulo na ginawa nila.

Ang mga pangunahing patakaran na ito ay makakatulong sa iyo at sa lahat sa paaralan na mapanatili ang isang mahusay na antas ng kalinisan sa araw-araw. Ang isang malinis na kapaligiran sa pagtatrabaho ay maaaring dagdagan ang pagiging produktibo, mapabuti ang kalagayan ng mga mag-aaral at guro, at mabawasan ang bilang ng mga pagliban.
