A. How much would you pay for a Treasury bill that matures in 182 days and pays $10,000 if you require a 1.8% discount rate?
Sonja [21]

Answer: $9909

Explanation:

Let the amount that will be paid be represented by y. The question can now be solved as:

(10000 - y)/10000 × 360/182 = 0.018

(10000-y)/10000 = 0.018 × 182/360

(10000 - y)/10000 = 0.0091

10000-y = 0.0091 × 10000

10000 - y = 91

y = 10000 - 91

y = $9909

The steam requirements of a manufacturing facility are being met by a boiler whose rated heat input is 5.5 × 106 Btu/h. The comb
e-lub [12.9K]

Solution:

Given Information,

Heat input is ( Q_{in} ) = 5.5 × 10^{6} Btu/h

Combustion efficiency of the boiler (n_{furnance}) = 0.7

Combustion efficiency after turn up (n_{furnance,now}) = 0.8

Operation Hour (t) = 5200h

Unit cost (c) = \frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }

Calculate heat output from the boiler  Q_{out} = Q_{in} x n_{furnance}

                                                                      = 5.5 x 10^{6} x 0.7

                                                                      = 3.85 x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the heat input to the boiler after the tune-up

(Q_{in} ){new} = Q_{out} / (n_{furnance} ){new}

               = 3.85 x 10^{6} / 0.8

               = 4.8125  x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the saved energy after the tune-up

(Q_{in} ){saved} = Q_{in} - (Q_{in} ){new}

                 = 5.5 x 10^{6} - 4.8125  x 10^{6} Btu/h

                 = 0.6875  x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the annual energy saving ( E_{Saving} )

E_{Saving} = (Q_{in} ){saved} x t

           = ( 0.6875  x 10^{6} Btu/h ) ( 5200 hr/yr)

           = 3575 x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the annual cost saving

Annual cost saving = E_{Annual saving} x Unit cost

                                = 3575 x 10^{6} Btu/h x \frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }

                                = 82225

Why are costs and benefits weighed when determining whether something gets produced
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Costs and benefits are weighed to determine if producing the good will be profitable.

Explanation:

Production of goods refers to the process through which raw material and resources are converted to a finished product. In most economies, production of goods are services is necessary to meet the demand for these goods. Companies and firms utilize resources like labor and materials to produce finished products. This is usually a costly activity that needs to be planned and organized for it to be successful. Since most businesses is for profit making, the production process has to be done in such a way that in the end, profits are made. Production processes requires financial strategies to be applied and assessed to ensure that the process is profitable in the long run.

An example of a financial analysis that can be used is the cost benefit analysis. The cost benefit analysis involves determination of all the resources that will be needed as input. The input is then convert into monetary terms, then summed together. The total amount of input in monetary terms is the cost, since that i the total amount needed to process the raw materials to finished goods. The future benefits are also forecasted and converted into monetary terms. The comparison of the costs versus the benefits forms what is collectively termed as the cost and benefits analysis.

When the costs outweigh the benefits, then the good should not be produced. When the costs are equal to the benefits, it means the business will break-even, so there will be no profits, it is advisable not to produce the good. Finally, when the benefits outweigh the costs, it is advisable to produce the good.
