Maslowich

The company should accept the special order because it will get an additional profit of $4,000 ($12,500 - $7,500 - $1,000) for the special order. This additional profit amount can be acquired by separating the effect from the special order on each cost and sales of the company's business. The sales should increase by $12,500 ($5 x 2500 unit) amount if the job is taken and the variable cost should increase by $7,500 ($3 x 2500 unit). Lastly, the fixed cost should increase by $1,000 (the new machine).

You currently have $5,400. First United Bank will pay you an annual interest rate of 8.9, while Second National Bank will pay yo

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Second National Bank

Present value (PV) = $5,400

Future value (FV) = $13,900

Interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.10

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$13,900 = $5,400(1 + 0.10)n

$13,900 = (1.10)n

$5,400

2.574074074 = (1.10)n

Log 2.574074074 = n log 1.10

Log 2.574074074 = n

Log 1.10

n = 9.9 years

None of the answers is correct

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of future value of a lump sum. The present value, interest rate and future value were provided with the exception of number of years. Thus, the number of years becomes the subject of the formula. The future value equals present value, multiplied by 1 plus interest rate, raised to power number of years.
