Answer:

Explanation:

First, write down Total fixed cost for each;

Fixed cost; Saab = $1,000,000,000

Fixed cost; Volvo = $1,000,000,000

Next find the Total Variable cost (TVC)

TVC = # of cars per year * marginal cost per car

Saab ; TVC = 50,000* $10,000 = $500,000,000

Volvo ; TVC = 200,000* $10,000 = $2,000,000,000

Average production cost = (Fixed cost + total variable cost) / # of cars per year

Saab = ($1,000,000,000 + $500,000,000)/ 50,000 = $30,000

Volvo = ($1,000,000,000 + $2,000,000,000)/ 200,000 = $15,000

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct answers are letters "A", "D", and "E": Use a business letter format; Send a separate letter to each interviewer; Mention something you liked about the interview.

Explanation:

A <em>job interview </em>does not end after leaving the prospective company where you could work. Most organizations decide to choose one applicant over another if they contact their interviewers after the interview. For that purpose, that last contact must be a <em>formal letter stating what your impressions are of the company and why you are still interested in obtaining the job position</em>. Besides, if there was more than one interviewer, <em>a unique letter should be addressed to each of interviewer</em>.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

b. inelastic

c. Yes - it decreased

Explanation:

Elasticitiy of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

= -2/4 = -0.5

The absolute value is 0.5

If the absolute value of the coffiecnet of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded .

We can tell that the quantity demanded fell because of the negative sign in front of the percentage change in quantity demanded.

I hope my answer helps you

1. Suppose that 10 years ago you bought a home for $150,000, paying 10% as a down payment, and financing the rest at 8% interest
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Down payment = $15,000

2. The existing mortgage (loan) was for $135,000

3. The current monthly payment on the existing mortgage is $990.58

4. The total interest over the life of the existing loan = $221,609.58

6. The amount of the original loan paid off is $22,319.

7. Total amount paid to the loan company over the last 10 years is $258,928.58 ($243,928.58 + $15,000)

8. Total interest paid over the last 10 years is $221,609.58

9. The equity in the home is $67,319 ($180,000 - $112,681)

10. The new monthly payments will be $675.58

11. Saving each month because of the lower monthly payment is $315 ($990.58 - $675.58)

12. Total Interest = $352,137.21 ($221,609.58 + $130,527.63)

13. It does not make sense to refinance because what is saved per month cannot compare with the additional interest expense to be incurred for prolonging the payments.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. Cost of a home = $150,000

10% down payment = $15,000

Existing Mortgage = $135,000 ($150,000 - $15,000)

Home Price  150000

 Down Payment  10 %

Loan Term  30  years

Interest Rate  8%

House Price $150,000.00

Loan Amount $135,000.00

Down Payment $15,000.00

Total of 360 (30 years * 12)

Mortgage Payments $356,609.58

Total Interest $221,609.58

Ten years after, the loan balance has been reduced by $22,319 ($135,000 - $112,682)

Refinancing calculations:

Home Price  112681

 Down Payment  0 %

Loan Term  30  years

Interest Rate  6

   

Monthly Pay:   $675.58 Monthly

Total Mortgage Payment $243,208.63

Total Out-of-Pocket $243,208.63

Total of 360 Mortgage Payments $243,208.63

Total Interest $130,527.63

What is the size of the payments that must be deposited at the beginning of each 6-month period in an account that pays 8.6%, co
Burka [1]

Answer:

The answer is $86,167.57 (to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the present value of a certain amount that is compounded semiannually, and after 10 years, yields a future value of $200,000. To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating present value as follows:

PV = FV ÷ (1+\frac{r}{n})^{n*t}

where:

PV = present value = ???

FV = future value = $200,000

r = interest rate in decimal = 8.6% = 0.086

n = compounding period pr year = semiannually = 2

t = time of compounding in years = 10

Therefore,

PV = 200,000 ÷ (1+\frac{0.086}{2})^{2*10}

PV = 200,000 ÷ (1.043)^{20} = $86,167.57
