Answer:

Machine C

Explanation:

The computation of the expected benefit is shown below:

For Machine A

= $45,000 × 90%

For Machine B

= $80,000 × 50%

= $40,000

For Machine C

= $60,000 × 75%

In 1924, the famous novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post entitled ?How to live on $36,000
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$4,267,059

Explanation:

to determine the equivalent amount of money between 1924 and 2008, we must divide the 2008 CPI by the 1924 CPI, and then multiply by $36,000:

= (2015 / 17) x $36,000 = 118.53 x $36,000 = $4,267,059

The consumer price index measures the weighted price of basket of goods . It is useful for calculating inflation and comparing how the purchasing value of the US dollar has decreased in time. Basically what this shows us, is that $1 in 1924 would purchase the same amount of goods as $118.53 in 2008.

A car was purchased for $4500 down and payments of $375 at the end of each month for 5 years. Interest is 9.72% compounded month
agasfer [191]

Answer:

$21,080.2

Explanation:

The price of the car will be the down-payment plus the future value of 375 paid each month for 5 years compounded monthly at 9.72%.

The formula for calculating future value is

PV = P ×  1 − (1+r)−n

  r

PV is $350

r is 9.72 % or 0.0972 % per year or 0.0081

t is five year or 60 months

FV = 350 x (1-(1+0.0081)-60

  0.0081

Fv =350 x 1-0.61628715419

  0.0081

FV =350 x( 0.38371284581/0.00810

FV =350 x 47.371956

FV =16,580.20

The value of the car = $4500 + 16,580.20

=$21,080.2
