Answer:

There were 9 cats at the shelter on Wednesday.

Explanation:

Per day cost to care for each cat = $2.00

Per day cost to care for each dog = $6.50

Total Cost on Wednesday = $44.00

Suppose

Number of cats = C

Number of dogs = D

According to given condition

C + D = 13 (Equation 1)

( each cat's per day cost x Number of cats ) + ( each dog's per day cost x Number of dogs ) = Total coat

2C + 6.5D = 44 (Equation 2)

Multiply (Equation 1) by 2 and we get

2C + 2D = 26 (Equation 3)

Subtract (Equation 3) from (Equation 2)

2C + 6.5D - 2C - 2D  = 44 -26

4.5D = 18

D = 18/4.5

D = 4

by placing value of D in (Equation 1)

C + 4 = 13

C = 13-4

C = 9

Suppose that in the second year her average total cost per dog is $35 and that $20 of that is associated with the variable cost.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

She should stay open, because the revenue of from dog grooming ($30 per dog), is still high enough to cover her variable cost of $20 per dog, even though she is operating at a loss.

Explanation:

Profit = Revenue - Total costs

Total costs = Fixed costs + variable costs

Profit = $30 - $35 = -$5 per dog

This shows she is operating at a loss of $5 per dog.

If a company does not make enough revenue to cover its total costs, then it is operating at a loss.

However such a company must consider its variable cost before deciding whether to shut down.

A company should only shut down if it is unable to make enough revenue to cover its variable cost.

If a company is operating at a loss but can at least cover its variable cost, then it should stay open at least in the short run.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

C) $27.75

Explanation:

Earnings:

2.00 x 20% = 0.4 (2.00 + 0.40 = 2.40)

2.40 x 20% = 0.48 (2.40 + 0.48 = 2.88)

2.88 x 20% = 0.576 (2.88 + 0.576 = 3.456)

3.46 x 10% = 0.346 (3.46 + 0.346 = 3.806)

3.80 x 10% = 0.38 (3.80 + 0.38 = 4.18)

Dividends:  

3.46 x 50% = 1.73

3.80 x 50 % = 1.90

4.18 x 75% = 3.135 ( 50% + 25% = 75%)

P0 = 1.73/[(1.12)^4] + 1.90/[(1.12)^5] + (3.14/(0.12 - 0.05))/1.125

     = 27.63

Therefore, If Bean's equity cost of capital is 12%, then the price of a share of Bean's stock is closest to $27.75
