Answer:

option (c) $875 per year

Explanation:

Given;

Average cost of collision claims for careful drivers = $500 per year

Average cost of collision claims for for poor drivers = $3000 per year

Poor drivers known by the company = 15%

thus,

Careful drivers = (100% - 15%) = 85%

Therefore,

Insurance company's breakeven price for the collision insurance  

= (Poor drivers known × Average cost of collision for poor drivers ) +( Careful drivers × Average cost of collision claims for careful drivers)

= 0.15 × $3000 + 0.85 × $500

= $450 + $425

= $875 per year

Hence, the correct answer is option (c) $875 per year

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

the perpetuity will pay the student 166.36 dollar per years

Explanation:

First, we solve for the amount of the original investment after 5 years:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 1,642.00

time 5.00

rate 0.06200

1642 \: (1+ 0.062)^{5} = Amount

Amount 2,218.17

<u>Then, this goes into a perpetual annuity at 7.5%</u>

2,218.17 x 0.075 = 166.3630983 = 166.36

the perpetuity will pay the student 166.36 dollar per years

mario62 [17]

Answer:

76 months

Explanation:

If Lisa only pays the $20 minimum monthly payment, it will take her 76 months to repay her debt (6 years and 4 months). She will also end up paying almost $540 in interest.

If you have a credit card it is never a good idea to pay only the minimum monthly payment since you will end up paying a lot of interest and usually other fees and charges apply.

Ksju [112]

Answer: d. 80% of direct material cost

Explanation:

Overhead cost = Total costs - Direct material - Direct labor

= 132,200 - 25,000 - 32,000 - 12,500 - 17,100

= $45,600

Direct materials cost = 32,000 + 25,000

= $57,000

Percentage of Direct materials = Overhead/ Direct materials

= 45,600/57,000

= 80%
