Luda [366]

Answer:

Fixed cost = $50,000

Marginal costs= $10,000

Explanation:

The costs of upgrading 12 screens = $170,000

The cost of upgrading 6 screens = $110,000

The difference between 12 screens At $170,000 and 6 screens at $110,000 represents the variable cost of 6 screens (12 - 6)

=$170,000 - $110,000 = 60,000

Variable costs for 6 screens = $60,000

Variable costs per screen = $60,000/ 6

=$10,000

Its cost $170,000 to upgrade 12 screens. variable costs per screen = $10,000

Fixed costs = $170,000 -( $10,000 x 12)

Fixed costs= $170,000 -$120,000

Fixed costs= $50,000

Marginal cost is the cost of upgrading one more screen, which is equivalent to variable costs for one screen

=$10,000

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$62,267.91

Explanation:

first we must calculate the interest rate = 10% + 6% + (10% x 6%) = 16.6%

now we can use the present value formula:

present value = future value / (1 + rate)ⁿ

present values for:

  • cash flow year 0 = $17,100
  • cash flow year 3 = $46,500/1.166³ = $29,333.06
  • cash flow year 4 = $12,300/1.166⁴ = $6,654.43
  • cash flow year 7 = $26,900/1.166⁷ = $9,180.42

total present value = $62,267.91

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
