Answer:
The correct answer is 16 utils.
Explanation:
Amount spent by Rick to get utility of 8 = $6*2 + $3 * 4 = $24
$48/ $24 = 2
$48 will give Rick 2 sets of products combination that give him utility of 8.
At his utility-maximizing point, Rick's utility is 2* 8 = 16 utils.
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
The calculation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per machine hour by using high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High manufacturing overhead cost - low manufacturing overhead cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)
= ($198,000 - $153,000) ÷ (110,000 hours - 80,000 hours)
= $45,000 ÷ 30,000 hours
= $1.5
Now the fixed cost is
= High manufacturing overhead cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $198,000 - (110,000 hours × $1.5)
= $198,000 - $165,000
= $33,000
Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 7.69%
Explanation:
The after tax cost of debt can be computed by first of all determining the pre-tax cost of debt .
The pre-tax of debt is the yield to maturity computed using the rate formula in excel as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt.-pv,fv)
nper is the number of times the bond would pay coupon interest over the entire bond life ,which is 15 years multiplied by 2=30
pmt is the semi-annual interest which is $1000*8.9%/2=$44.5
pv is the current price of the bond at $962
fv is the face value of the bond at $1000
=rate(30,44.5,-962,1000)=4.69%
this is the semi-annul yield ,annual yield is 9.38%
The 9.38% is the pretax
after tax cost of debt=9.38%*(1-0.18)=7.69%
0.18 is the 18% tax rate
Demand supply and market equilibrium will have many changes due to change in the quantity of a supplied product.
