Answer: A) $15

Explanation:

Option 1

Fixed annual percentage rate=17% on $1,500

17% of $1,500

=17/100×$1,500

=$255 per annum

For two years at 17% each

=$255×2

=$510

Option 2:

Annual percentage for first year=10%

10% of $1,500

=10/100×$1,500

=0.1×$1,500

=$150

Annual percentage for second year=23%

=23% of $1,500

=23/100×$1,500

=$345

For two years at 10% and 23% respectively

=$150+$345

=$495

Difference in charges between the two card options= two years interest for option 1 card + two years interest for option two card

=$510.00+$495.00

= $15

The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $36, direct labor $24, variable manufacturing overhead $1
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Mark−up percentage = 18.75%

Explanation:

Total manufacturing cost= Direct material + Direct labor  + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead

= $36 + $24 + $18 + $40

= $118

Hence, the total manufacturing cost is $118.

Total selling cost = Fixed selling cost + Variable selling cost

Total selling cost = $28 + $14

Total selling cost = $42

Hence, the total selling cost is $42

Total cost = Total Manufacturing cost + Total selling cost

Total cost = $118 + $42

Total cost = $160

Mark−up percentage = ROI / Total cost * 100

Mark−up percentage = $30 / $160 * 100

Mark−up percentage = 0.1875 * 100

Mark−up percentage = 18.75%

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the d
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

How much must harry's hardware deposit at a 14.5% annual interest for 240 days in order to earn $500 in simple interest?
marissa [1.9K]

To get the formula for the principal, we will use the formula for the interest and derived it from there:

I = Prt is the equation then it will be P = I /rt since we are looking for the principal.

 

P = I /rt

 

= $500 / (0.145 x 240/360)

 

= $500 / 0.0967

 

= $5170.63

 

To check:

I = Prt

 

= $5170.3 x 0.145 x 240/360

 

= $499.8 or $500

Suppose two​ countries, Country A and Country​ B, have a similar real GDP per capita. Country A has an average economic growth r
ozzi

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Many studies have found a positive correlation between economic growth and living standards. This means that empirical works have found that countries with higher economic growth, often have better living standards than the countries with less economic growth. In this case if real GDP per capita of both countries is similar, then they are comparable.

We can deduce that the country B will experience an increase in living standards much more rapidly in the long run because economic growth leads to an increase in profits for firms, there would be a better capital and labor return. This means that firms will pay more for capital and labor, if households are de owners of capital and labor, their rents and wages will increase. The disposable income will increase for households and they will consume more goods and services, then their living standards will increase.
