age for $320,000 and that you would have to use all of your savings to make the down payment of $80,000. You calculate that the mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities would total $1920 per month. Which of the following is true regarding your calculation of the cost of owning the house?A.

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

(a) It should include the opportunity cost of making the down payment. The opportunity cost is the benefit or cost obtained from the next best alternative. While making any big decision such as purchasing house which require huge amount, hence, one should consider the opportunity cost associated with the decision.

In our case, the buyer would deposit the down payment amount in the bank, so that he will be able to earn some interest income.

(b) Interest will be =4% of $80000

                              = $3200

so after the year amount will be 80,000 + 3,200

                                                     = $83,200

Monthly payment = $1920 per month

Year = 1,920 × 12

        = $23,040

Yearly opportunity cost will be $3,200

Customer price for property $500

Less: Gross profit (25%*$500) ($125)

($500-$125=$375)

Employee price ($300)

INCOME $75

($375-$300)

Customer price for service $150

She would  have to pay back for the more expensive interest than the less expensive interest which will be calculated in the form of simple interest and compound interest .

Simple interest

10000 x .07 = 700

700 x 5 = 3500

total 13500

Compund interest

10000(1.06)^5 = 13382.26

13500 - 13382.26 = 117.74

Suppose a four-period weighted average is being used to forecast demand. Weights for the periods are as follows: w t-4 = 0.1, w
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Option (e) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weights for the periods:

w_t-4 = 0.1,

w_t-3 = 0.2,

w_t-2 = 0.3

w_t-1 = 0.4

Demand observed in the previous four periods:

A_t-4 = 380

A_t-3 = 410

A_t-2 = 390

A_t-1 = 400

Demand forecast for period t:

= (w_t-4 × A_t-4) + (w_t-3 × A_t-3) + (w_t-2 × A_t-2) + (w_t-1 × A_t-1)

= (0.1 × 380) + (0.2 × 410) + (0.3 × 390) + (0.4 × 400)

= 397

On January​ 1, 2018,​ Sanderson, Inc. acquired a machine for​ $1,110,000. The estimated useful life of the asset is five years.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

$702,400

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of the machine acquired = $1,110,000

Useful life of the machine = 5 years

Residual value = $91,000

Method of depreciation is straight line

Now,

Annual depreciation = \frac{\textup{(Cost price - Residual value)}}{\textup{Useful life}}

or

⇒ Annual depreciation = \frac{\textup{(1,110,000 - 91,000)}}{\textup{5}}

or

⇒ Annual depreciation = $203,800

Book value = Cost of the machine - (Total depreciation in the given period)

now,

Duration of period from January 1, 2018 to end of 2019 = 2 years

Therefore,

The total depreciation = 2 × Annual  depreciation

= 2 × $203,800

= $407,600

Hence,

Book value at the end of 2019 = $1,110,000 - $407,600

or

Book value at the end of 2019 = $702,400
