Total liabilities - Total assets represents which type of financial ratio?

Dmitri is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: B

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decision on the margins

Explanation:

Pool time seems to be having a greater effect at the moment, it makes sense for his to spend a bit more time in the pool and a bit less time on the bike.

However, this does not mean that it makes sense for her to spend all his time in the pool and no time on the bike. If he cut out all training on the bike, the value of a little bit of bike training might be higher than the value of the last hour of pool training. Dimitri does not treat biking versus swimming as an all-or-nothing decision. He makes small changes at the margin in the number of hours spent training for each activity.

Also they both realise that his time is fixed (20hrs) and anytime he wants to spend extra on one activit, is time he cannot spend on another (opportunity cost).

They are both trying to improve Dimitri's total time (exploiting opportunities to makes themselves better off).

An assumption that Dimitri realises that as he spends more time in the pool improving his swim time, his run and cycle times will suffer. As he swims more, his improvement is likely to slow down, while spending less time on cycling and running will cost him progressively more in terms of time.

Conclusion Dimitri is looking at the margins. His wife on the other hand, is not, she is ignoring the interaction, may be forgetting the decreasing improvements in swim and increasing deterioration in the other 2 legs.

Ziegler Inc. has decided to use the high-low method to estimate the total cost and the fixed and variable cost components of the

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a. $175.50 and $11,060,000

b. $31,242,500

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per unit by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per units = (High total cost - low total cost) ÷ (High units produced - low units produced)

= ($32,120,000- $25,100,000) ÷ (120,000 units - 80,000 units)

= $7,020,000 ÷ 40,000 units

= $175.50

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High total cost - (High units produced × Variable cost per unit)

= $32,120,000 - (120,000 units × $175.50)

= $32,120,000 - $21,060,000

= $11,060,000

Now the estimated total cost is would be

= Fixed cost + expected units of production × variable cost per unit

= $11,060,000 + 115,000 units × $175.50

= $11,060,000 + $20,182,500

= $31,242,500

You're trying to save to buy a new $230,000 Ferrari. You have $32,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 5.5

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

37 years

Explanation:

We know,

Future value = Present value (1 + r)^n

Given,

Future value, FV = $230,000;

Present value, PV = $32,000;

Interest rate, r = 5.5% = 0.055;

We have to determine how many years later I can purchase the Ferrari.

Now, putting the values into the formula, we get,

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n

or, $230,000 = $32,000 × (1 + 0.055)^n

or, $230,000 ÷ $32,000 = (1 + 0.055)^n

or, 7.1875 = (1 + 0.055)^n

or, log 7.1875 = n × log 1.055

or, n × log 1.055 = log 7.1875 [Changing the side]

or, n = log 7.1875 ÷ log 1.055

Using financial calculator/Scientific Calculator,

or, n = 0.8566 ÷ 0.0233

Therefore, n = 36.76 or almost 37 years.

olasank [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. idea screening .

Explanation:

After generating ideas on a specific topic, the next step is to study in detail each idea that generates impact in a process. In the case of this example, the management of the institute must carry out a study of all the ideas received from the employees in order to determine which ones would have the best impact in the creation of products and services, and then they will carry out more in-depth studies to determine which ones they generate more impact than others.
