Suppose a handbill publisher can buy a new duplicating machine for $500 and the duplicator has a 1-year life. The machine is exp

ected to contribute $550 to the year’s net revenue.
What is the expected rate of return?

If the real interest rate at which funds can be borrowed to purchase the machine is 8 percent, will the publisher choose to invest in the machine?

Answer & Explanation:

Step 1

The expected rate of return r is calculated as follows:

r = (expected revenue - cost / cost) * 100%

= (550 - 500 / 500) * 100%

=10%

Step 2

The publisher will choose to invest the machine when the real interest rate is 10% and 9%. When the expected rate of return is higher than the cost of borrowing, that is, the real interest rate, the investment is profitable and should be undertaken.

In this question, the expected rate of return is 10%, higher than the borrowing cost of 8% and 9%; thus, the investment of the new machine should be undertaken.

When the cost of borrowing is 11%, which is higher than the rate of return of 10%, the investment should not be undertaken.

kogti [31]

Answer:

carryover to 2020  = $2000

Explanation:

given data

gross income = $38,350

long-term capital loss = $5,000

standard deduction = $18,350

age = 35 years old

dependent = 2 children

to find out

How much of Ashley $5,000 capital loss carries over to 2020

solution

we know that here for the individual maximum capital loss deduction is

maximum capital loss deduction  = $3000 for household

so that carryover to 2020 will be here

carryover to 2020 = 5000 - 3000 = $2000

Consider a firm with a daily demand of 100​ units, a production rate per day of 500​ units, a setup cost of​ $200, and an annual
podryga [215]

Answer: 980

Explanation:

The number of units of inventory that the storage area must be able to​ hold will be calculated as:

Demand = 100 × 300 = 30000

Production rate per day = 500

Setup cost = $200

Annual holding cost = $10

We then use the economic order quantity formula to solve and the answer will be gotten as 1225

The maximum inventory will now be:

= EQQ × (1-d/p)

= 1225 × (1-100/500)

= 1225 × ( 1 - 0.2)

= 1225 × 0.8

= 980

Pei's savings account balance is $12,000 today. Pei opened the account exactly 7 years ago with a $10,000 deposit. Pei has made
koban [17]

Answer:

2.64%

Explanation:

A = P(1 + r)^n

A = $12,000

P = $10,000

n = 7 years

12,000 = 10,000(1 + r)^7

(1 + r)^7 = 12,000/10,000 = 1.2

(1 + r)^7 = 1.2

1 + r = (1.2)^1/7

I + r = 1.0264

r = 1.0264 - 1 = 0.0264

r = 0.0264 × 100 = 2.64%

Farm workers in Oaks Farmville face a 1/85 probability of death at work and each of them receives a yearly wage of $159,106. Far
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$154,182.02

Explanation:

Probability of Farm workers in ( O.F ) facing death at work = 1/85 = 0.012

Probability of Farm workers in ( V.F ) facing death at work = 1/127 = 0.008

Value of a statistical life = $1,262,558

<u>Determine how much  the workers in less risky job should get paid </u>

The less risky job is working in Valley farm(V.F ) with a death probability of = 1/127 = 0.008

The more risky job is working in valley farm ( probability = 1/85 = 0.012 )

Yearly wage of risky job = $159106

payment for less risky job can be calculated using the relation below

statistical life = ( cost incurred to reduce risk) / ( percentage of risk to death reduced )  ---------------- ( 1 )

cost incurred to reduce risk =  yearly wage to high risk workers - yearly wage to low risk workers

 =  159106 - X

percentage of risk to death reduced = (probability of death to high risk workers) - ( probability of death to low risk worker )

= 1/85 - 1/127 = 0.0039

back to relation 1

1262558 = ( 159106 - X ) / ( 0.0039)

159106 - X = 1262558 ( 0.0039 )

hence X ( amount to be paid to workers in the less risky job )

X = 159106 - 4923.9762 = $154,182.02

A younger client with a moderate amount of funds is considering the purchase of a home in the near-term future. For this reason,
Valentin [98]

Answer:

c) Investment in a DPP (Direct Participation Program)

Explanation:

Direct Participation Programs are a form of limited partnership. DPP has the lack of liquidity, since ownership interests are not always freely transferrable and require the approval of a general partner of the DPP. Each of the other items listed are more liquid on a short-term basis. Bonds can be sold, bond fund shares can be redeemed, equities are easily sold in the secondary market, and though CDs are not transferrable, the maximum maturity is 1 year or less, so the client would have short-term access to the funds invested.
