Answer:

Choice 1 is more profitable.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Choice 1:

You receive $100 starting today once a year every year for the rest of eternity.

Choice 2:

You receive $200 today and then $50 once a year starting next year for all of eternity.

<u>I will assume an interest rate of 8%</u>

The first option and second option are a perpetual annuity. To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

Choice 1:

PV= Cf/i

Cf= 100

i=0.08

PV= 100/0.08= $1,250

Choice 2:

PV= 50 + 50/0.08= $825

Choice 1 is more profitable.

laila [671]

Answer:

a. The depreciable cost is $72000.

b. The depreciation rate is $0.36 per mile.

c. The depreciation expense for the year is $6480.

Explanation:

a.

The depreciable cost is the cost that is eligible for depreciation. It is calculated by deducting the residual value from the cost of the asset.

Depreciable cost = Cost - residual value

Depreciable cost = 80000 - 8000 = $72000

The depreciation rate can be calculated by dividing the depreciable cost by the total estimated useful life of the asset.

The depreciable rate = 72000 / 200000 = $0.36 per mile driven

c.

The units of activity depreciation for the year is,

Depreciation expense = 0.36 * 18000 = $6480

In an eight-hour day Nicolas can catch 24 pounds of fish or he can repair 15 cars. In an eight-hour day Alejandro can catch 27 p
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here Nicolas will gain comparative advantage only when he is selling the good he is specializing in and he would specialize in that good which would have lower opportunity cost for him. So the first step that we have to do here is to find out for which good Nicolas will have lower opportunity cost.

For Nicolas who in 8 hours can either catch 24 pound of fish or repair 15 cars,

the opportunity cost for catching 1 fish is = 15/24 = .625

the opportunity cost for repairing 1 car is = 24/15 = 1.6

So from the above observation we can say that for Nicolas catching fish has lower opportunity cost for him , so he should specialize in catching fish.

Therefore the term of trade for Nicolas would be

1 fish = .625 cars ,

if he can catch and sell 100 units worth of fish then he would have to give up 62.5 cars and then only he will gain from trade,

1 x 100 fish = .625 x 100

100 fish = 62.5 cars.

Answer:

Interest revenue from the CD 470.04

Explanation:

we will calcualte the future value of the CD and from there calculate the interest:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 2,200.00

time 8.00 (2 years x 4 quarter per year)

rate 0.02450 (9.8% divided by 4 quarter per year)

This divisions and multiplication are done to make time and rate be express i nthe same metric.

2200 \: (1+ 0.0245)^{8} = Amount

Amount 2,670.04

Now, we calculate interest revenue:

Amount - Principal

2,670.04 - 2,200 = 470.04
