Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

New injection molding equipment for a cost of $500,000.

Increase in sales of 25%.

The manufacturer currently makes 75 tons of clothespins per year, which sell at $18,000 per ton.

First, we need to calculate the new sales level:

New sales (units)= 75t* 1.25= 93.75 tons

Increase in sales (dollars)= (93.75 - 75)*18,000= $337,500

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:the opportunity cost of growing another apple tree is 2 orange trees

Explanation:

Opportunity cost represents the  value of cost  what must be given up toin order to obtain the best alternative.

Here Farmer Brain has 3 acres of land that can support 10 apple threes on each acre, and 30 orange tree on best acre, 20 on good acre and 10 oranges on bad acre.

that means he can grows 30 apples  on the 3 acres and 60 oranges at  on the 3 acres. giving us

the opportunity cost of growing an orange tree is

60 oranges ( 30+20+10)trees= 30 apples tress

1 orange tree = 30/60

1 orange tree=1/2 apples

therefore the opportunity cost of growing an orange tree is half apple tree, Also the opportunity cost of growing an apple tree is 2 orange trees

A Super Happy Fun Ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet and rebounds 13/14 of the distance from which it fell. How many times
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

32

Explanation:

First bounce = 13 / 14 × 10 = 130 /14

using geometric progression where the common ratio = 13/14, the first bound = 130/14

ar^n-1 < 1

substitute the values into the equation

130 /14 × 13/14^(n-1) < 1

(13/14)^n-1 < 1÷ (130/14)

(13/14)^n-1 < 14 / 130

take log of both side

log (13 /14)^n-1 < log ( 14/130)

n-1 log (13 /14) < log  ( 14/130)

since log (13/14) negative

n-1 > (log( 14/130)) ÷ ( log (13/14)

n - 1 > 30.07

n > 30.07 + 1 > 31.07

The 32 bounce will the first less than 1 foot

gregori [183]

Answer:

The home must sell for $616,500 to be able to settle all costs

Explanation:

The net to the formula can be used to ascertain the price of the property , the formula is given below:

Net amount=Sales price*(100%-commission rate)

The net to the seller in this case is the amount that seller would receive and be able to settle mortgage and closing costs and still be left with $75000

Net amount =$75000+$450000+$36000

                     =$561000

commission rate is 9%

$561000=sales price*(100-9%)

$561000=sales price*91%

sales price =$561000/91%

                  =616483.52

But to the nearest $100 is $616500
