The maintenance expense (paid at the end of the year) on a machine, with 6 years of useful life, is expected to be (in constant

dollars of year 0) $5,000 during the first year and to increase (in constant dollars) $500 each year for the following five years. The average inflation rate for the next 6 years is calculated to be 3%. What is the equivalent equal annual maintenance cost (in actual dollars) for the machinery if the interest rate is 8%

Answer: $1387.5

Explanation:

Given data:

Useful life of the machine = 6years

Inflation for the 6years period = 3%

Interest rate = 8%.

Cost of maintenance = $5000

Yearly increments = $500 for five years.

Solution:

Total cost of maintenance for five years

= cost of maintenance + yearly increments x 5

= $5000 + $500(5)

= $5000 + $2500

= $7500.

Interest rate on the machinery = 8%

= 0.08 x $7500

= $600

Inflation rate

= 0.03 x 7500

= $225

Equal yearly maintenance cost

= $7500 + $600 + $225/ 6

= $8325/6

= $1387.5

A graduating high school student decides to take a year off and work to save money for college. The student plans to invest all
Oliga [24]

Answer:

$488.89

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Interest rate = 6% = 0.06

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, n = 4

Interest rate per period = 0.06 ÷ 4 = 0.015

Time = 12 months i.e 1 year

Future value = $6,000

Therefore,

Annuity per quarter = Future value × [\frac{r}{(1+r)^n-1}]

or

Annuity per quarter = $6,000 × [\frac{0.015}{(1+0.015)^4-1}]

or

Annuity per quarter = $6,000 × 0.244

or

Annuity per quarter = $1466.67

Therefore,

Deposits per quarter = Annuity per quarter ÷ Number of months per quarter

= $1466.67 ÷ 3

= $488.89

The Talbot Corporation makes wheels that it uses in the production of bicycles. Talbot's costs to produce 110,000 wheels annuall
Anna [14]

Answer:

Indifferent Purchase price per wheel = $123,200/110,000 = $1.12

Explanation:

Provided that:

Number of wheels produced: 110,000

Cost for these wheels in case of manufacturing

Direct Material = $22,000

Direct Labor = $33,000

Variable Manufacturing Overhead = $16,500

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead = $59,000

Total Cost = $130,500

Rate of outside supplier = $0.80

Then total cost in case of purchase = Purchase cost + Unavoidable fixed cost - Rent Revenue

= $0.80 \times 110,000 + ($59,000 - $14,000) - $37,700

= $88,000 + $45,000 - $37,700

= $95,300

since net effect of buying the wheels is a gain of $130,500 - $95,300 = $35,200

Thus the wheels shall be bought and not manufactured.

The price at which the buying and manufacturing option will be indifferent shall be:

Purchase Price + Unavoidable Fixed Cost - Rent Revenue = Manufacturing cost

Purchase Price + $45,000 - $37,700 = $130,500

Purchase Price = $123,200

Purchase price per wheel = $123,200/110,000 = $1.12

Phoebe, a sales representative, is so excited during her sales presentation that she does not hear the customer's question corre
Westkost [7]

Answer:

<u>Selective Perception </u>

Explanation:

Selective perception refers to a psychological state wherein, an individual perceives and comprehends only that information he/she finds desirable, thereby ignoring the rest of the information during communication.

So, any of the viewpoints or ideas which appear conflicting to one's own are ignored and discarded under such a psychological state.

In the given case, Phoebe got excited during her presentation that she missed out upon hearing customer's questions. In such a state of excitement, her mind only perceived what she desired, thereby ignoring anything which appeared undesirable.

So post providing inappropriate answers, she went on with her presentation , i.e she got carried away in excitement. Such psychological state indicates the operation of selective perception.
