The present value of the following cash flow stream is $8,400 when discounted at 9 percent annually. What is the dollar amount o
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$2,721.34

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The present value of the following cash flow stream is $8,400

The Present value after applying the discount factor of each year is presented below:

Year             Annual cash flows       Discount factor         Present value

Year 1          $2,000                           0.9174311927               $1,834.862

Year 2

Year 3          $2,600                            0.7721834801             $2,007.677

Year 4          $3,200                            0.7084252111              $2,266.961

Total                                                                                        $6,109.500

The remaining amount is

= $8,400 - $6,109.500

= $2,290.50

And, in year 2, the factor is

= (1 + rate)^2

= (1 + 0.09)^2

= 1.1881

So, the missing cash flow is

= $2,290.50 × 1.1881

= $2,721.34

The discount factor should be computed by

= 1 ÷ (1 + rate) ^ years

Customers arrive at a bank teller machine at the rate one every three minutes. Each customer spends an average of two minutes at
Julli [10]

Answer:

Arrival rate

1 every 3 minutes

1 minute = 1/3 = 0.33

60 minutes = 0.33*60 = 19.8 = 20 per hour

λ = 20 per hour

Service Rate

1 every 2 minutes

1 minutes = 1/2 = 0.5

60 minutes = 0.5*60 = 30 per hour

µ = 30 per hour

a. Utilization of Teller Machine

P = λ / µ

P = 20/30

P = 66.67%

b. Average number of customers in line

Lq = pL = (λ/µ) (λ/µ- λ)

= (20 / 30) (20 / 30 - 20)

= 20/30 * 20 / 10

= 1.33 customers

c. Average number of customers in the system

L = (λ/µ- λ)

= 20 / 30 - 20

= 20 / 10

= 2 customers

d. Average time customer spends in line

Wq = λ/[µ*(µ- λ)]

= 20 / [30 * (30-20)]

= 20 / 30 * 10

= 0.06667 hours or 4 minutes

e. Average time customers spend in the system

W = 1/(µ- λ)

= 1 / 30 - 20

= 1/10

= 0.10 hours or 6 minutes

f. Probability that there are 3 customers in the system

Pn = (1-p)*p^n

= (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^3

= 0.3333 * 0.296296

= 0.09876

g. Probability that there are two or more customers in the system

= 1 - P(0) - P(1)

= 1 - (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^0 - (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^1

= 1 - 1/3 - 2/9

= 4/9

= 0.4444

The aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

D. an increase in the price of a good causes a decrease in market demand for that good.

Explanation:

First, if prices decrease, then people will feel wealthier and consume more and the aggregate demand increases. (Pigou´s effect)

Second, if interest rates decrease available domestic investors will  invest in foreign countries where return (interest rates]) on investments are higher. If domestic investors invest in foreign countries the supply of dollars will increases. This will decrease the real exchange rate and then exports will be affected in a positive way; exports will increase and thus the aggregate demand.

Third, when the price level is down, consumers demand less currency, which means that they will keep more money in their bank accounts. If banks have more money, then the interest rate for loans decrease.  If interest rates decrease, the cost of investment decreases too. Then, if the price for investment decreases, the demand for it increases and the aggregate demand decreases too.

Which of the following is true if the volume of sales increases (within a relevant range)? total variable cost increases total f
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

total variable cost increases

Explanation:

Variable cost refers to the expenses that change with production volume. There is a direct relationship between variable costs and the level of production. An increase in the output level will result in a rise in variable costs. For sales volume to increase, the output level must have been high.

A high production level is necessary to support a high sales volume. Examples of variable costs are packaging and raw materials. A high output level will require the use of a large volume of raw materials, hence higher costs. Fixed cost contrast variable costs, as they do not change with varying output.
