Answer:

correct option is B. about 30 years

Explanation:

given data

real per capita GDP west = $10,000

annual growth rate = 2.33%

real per capita GDP east = $2,500

annual growth rate = 7%

to find out

How many years will it take for East  to catch up GDP of West

solution

we know here that future value is equal to real GDP of west after time  will be

future value = real per capita GDP west × rate^{t}

future value = 10000 × (1+0.0233)^{t} .....1

and

future value = real per capita GDP east × rate^{t}

future value = 2500 × (1+0.07)^{t} .....2

compare equation 1 and 2

10000 × (1+0.0233)^{t}  = 2500 × (1+0.07)^{t}

4 (1.0233)^{t}  =  (1.07)^{t}

t = about 30 years

so correct option is B. about 30 years

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

                          Machine hours (X)        Utility cost

       High                2,680                          8,100

        Low               <u> (740)</u>                           <u> (4,650)</u>

                              <u> 1,940 </u>                          <u> 3,450</u>

Variable cost per machine hour

= $3,450/1,940 hours

= $1.7784 per machine hour

Explanation:

Using high and low method, we will obtain the highest activity (machine hours) and the corresponding cost. We will also obtain the lowest activity and the corresponding cost. Thereafter, we will deduct the lowest points from the highest points. Finally, we will divide the difference in cost by the difference in machine hours in order to determine the estimated variable cost per machine hour.
