As the financial consultant to a classic auto dealership, you estimate that the total value (in dollars) of its collection of 19

59 Chevrolets and Fords is given by the formula v = 301,000 + 960t2 (t ≥ 5) where t is the number of years from now. You anticipate a continuous inflation rate of 5% per year, so that the discounted (present) value of an item that will be worth $v in t years' time is p = ve−0.05t. When would you advise the dealership to sell the vehicles to maximize their discounted value? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) years from now

Answer:

The owner will maximize value if it waits 29th years Assuming 5% continuos inflation

Explanation:

the price formula for the future years is:

v = 301000 + 960 t^{2}

while it is adjusted for inflation at:

v \times e^{-0.05t}

so the complete formula for value is:

\frac{301000 + 960 t^{2}}{e^{0.05t}}

Now, we can derivate and obtain the roots

Getting at a root exist at the 29th year.

The owner will maximize value if it waits 29th years Assuming 5% continuos inflation

b. Anita’s opportunity cost of making one floral arrangement is ___0.75__

( 1.33, 0.75, .33, 3) deliveries. Anita’s opportunity cost of making one delivery is __1.33_ (1.33, 0.75, .33, 3) floral arrangements.

c. Jerome’s opportunity cost of making one floral arrangement is ___0.33__(.75,3,1.33..33) deliveries. Jerome’s opportunity cost of making one delivery is 3 (3, 1.33, .75, .33) floral arrangements.

d. (Jerome, Anita)_Jerome____ has a comparative advantage in floral arrangements. (Jerome, Anita)__Anita___ has a comparative advantage in deliveries.

e. Suppose that, initially, both Jerome and Anita spend four hours each day doing floral arrangements and two hours each day doing deliveries. Now suppose they change their tasks, so that each individual does nothing but the task in which she or he has a comparative advantage. How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day?

____4_____ additional floral arrangements

____5____ additional deliveries

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Time it takes Anita to finish one floral arrangement = 30 minutes

Time it takes Anita to make a delivery = 40 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to finish one floral arrangement = 10 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to make a delivery = 30 minutes

b) Absolute Advantage: Jerome will finish 3 floral arrangements (30/10), whereas Anita can only finish 1 in 30 minutes.

c) Anita's opportunity cost is the time it will take her to make a delivery using the same time it takes her to finish one floral arrangement.  In 30 minutes time, she can only make (30/40) 0.75 deliveries.  Using 40 minutes of making a delivery, she can finish 1.33 (40/30) floral arrangements.

d) Anita's comparative advantage in making deliveries is based on her opportunity cost when compared with Jerome's opportunity cost of making deliveries.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Diluted earnings per share is $1.7 per share

Explanation:

The number of diluted  shares from the options is calculated thus

Total number of shares from options                                     34,500      

Actual number of shares that can be purchased

(options shares*option price/share market price)

(34,500*$11/$15)                                                                        (25,300)

Diluted shares                                                                           9,200

Diluted earnings per share=net income/(outstanding common stock + diluted common stock)

net income is $331,840

outstanding common stock is 186,000

diluted common stock is 9200

diluted earnings per share=$331,840/(186,000+9200)

                                            =$1.7 per share

Archy [21]

Answer: Wages are flexible if the economy is self-regulating.

Explanation:

Classical economists believe that the economy is self-regulating. This means that if the economy is not at equilibrium, it will return to equilibrium if it is left without interference.

For this to happen, inputs such as wages have to flexible to enable them to adjust to market conditions and thus take the Economy back to equilibrium.

For instance, if there is a recession, wages will reduce so that the prices that the producers can charge will reduce as well which will enable supply to match demand and bring the economy back to equilibrium.
