Answer: $1650

Explanation:

Quantity Demanded = 100 - 2P

Quantity Supplied = 5 + 3P

Price floor = $30

To get quantity demanded and quantity supplied, put the value of price into the functions given.

Qd = 100 - 2P

= 100 - 2(30)

= 100 - 60

= 40

Qs = 5 + 3P

= 5 + 3(30)

= 5 + 90

= 95

Since quantity supplied is 95 and quantity demanded is 40, the surplus will be 95 minus 40 which gives a value of 55.

Since the government has agreed to buy every surplus for $30,

Value of surplus= 55 units × $30 = $1650.

Pet Supply purchased some fixed assets two years ago at a cost of $43,800. It no longer needs these assets so it is going to sel
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

$28,483.4

Explanation:

The computation of the net cash flow is shown below;

Asset cost       $43,800

MACRS Rate 0.2 0.32

                     8760 14016

So total depreciation is

= $8,760 + $14,016

= $22,776

Now  

Book Value of the company is

= oriignal value - depreication

= $43,800 - $22,776

= $21,024

And,  

Sale price = 32500

So,  

Gain is

= $32,500 - $21,024

= $11,476

So,  

Tax = 0.35% of 11476

= $4,016

And, finally  

Net cashflows is

= Sale price - tax

= $28,483.4

When a scientific number is the result of a measurement using equipment such as a balance, the last digit is ______?
zhuklara [117]
The answer is <span>the last digit is "estimated".
</span>
The Scientific notation or configuration shows a number in exponential notation, by replacing some portion of the number with E+n, where E (which remains for Exponent) duplicates the first number by 10 to the nth power. For instance, a 2-decimal Scientific notation shows 12345678901 as 1.23E+10, which is 1.23 times 10 to the tenth power. Hope this helps!

Mars Corp. is choosing between two different capital investment proposals. Machine A has a useful life of four years, and machin
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

c. Mars should invest in Machine B becuase the net present value of Machine A after 4 years is lower than the net present value of Machine B after 4 years.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Considering that machine b can be sold on 4 years, The NPV of machine b should be calculated based on the cash flow in for 4 years

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator.

Machine A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $70,000

I = 10%

NPV = 21,890.58

Machine B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 = $80,000

Cash flow each year from year 2 = $70,000

Cash flow each year from year 3 = $60,000

Cash flow each year from year 4 = $40000 + $35,000 = $75,000

I = 10%

NPV = $26,883.41

Machine b should be accepted because its NPV is greater than that of machine A

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
