Find the present value of $19,000 in 11 months at 5.1% interest

dem82 [27]

Answer:

$19,886.396

Explanation:

Given :

Interest rate = 5.1% = 5.1

Principal = $19000

Period = 11 months = (11/12)year

The present value of 19000 in 11 months at 5.1% interest Can be obtained using the relation:

PV = P(1 + r)^n

PV = 19000(1 + 0.051)^(11/12)

PV = 19000(1.051)^(11/12)

PV = 19000 * 1.0466524

PV = 19886.396

Hence, the present value is $19,886.396

frozen [14]

Answer:

The statement is: False.

Explanation:

A bundle of resources has three characteristics: valuable (the resource helps the company to pursue its objectives and is priceless for consumers), rare (limited competition), and inimitable (resource is not easy to reproduce by the firm's closest competitors or imitating it is expensive).

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

manufacturing overhead= $42,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor= $9,750 (30% of prime costs)

Total manufacturing costs= $74,500

First, we need to determine the direct material costs. We know that prime costs are the sum of direct labor and direct material.

Prime costs= direct labor / 0.3

Prime costs= 9,750 /0.3

Prime costs= $32,500

Direct material= 32,500 - 9,750

Direct material= $22,750

Now, we can calculate the manufacturing overhead:

Total manufacturing costs= direct labor + direct material + manufacturing overhead

74,500 = 9,750 + 22,750 + manufacturing overhead

manufacturing overhead= $42,000
