Answer:

Therefore after 16.26 unit of time, both accounts have same balance.

The both account have $8,834.43.

Explanation:

Formula for continuous compounding :

P(t)=P_0e^{rt}

P(t)=  value after t time

P_0= Initial principal

r= rate of interest annually

t=length of time.

Given that, someone invested $5,000 at an interest 3.5% and another one  invested $5,250 at an interest 3.2% .

Let after t year the both accounts have same balance.

For the first case,

P= $5,000, r=3.5%=0.035

P(t)=5000e^{0.035t}

For the second case,

P= $5,250, r=3.5%=0.032

P(t)=5250e^{0.032t}

According to the problem,

5000e^{0.035t}=5250e^{0.032t}

\Rightarrow \frac{e^{0.035t}}{e^{0.032t}}=\frac{5250}{5000}

\Rightarrow e^{0.035t-0.032t}=\frac{21}{20}

\Rightarrow e^{0.003t}=\frac{21}{20}

Taking ln both sides

\Rightarrow lne^{0.003t}=ln(\frac{21}{20})

\Rightarrow 0.003t}=ln(\frac{21}{20})

\Rightarrow t}=\frac{ln(\frac{21}{20})}{0.003}

\Rightarrow t= 16.26

Therefore after 16.26 unit of time, both accounts have same balance.

The account balance on that time is

P(16.26)=5000e^{0.035\times 16.26}

              =$8,834.43

The both account have $8,834.43.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each bottle is sold for $5. The company recently had the following costs to produce 12,000 units of its product during August:

(1) Rent of $5,000 on a billboard to help advertise the product

(2) Rent on factory and equipment of $8,000

(3) Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers $24,000

(4) Tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles $18,000

(5) Total payroll for salaried, administrative staff $6,000

The company sold 8,000 units.

A) First, we need to calculate the total and unitary cost of production:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + factory overhead

Total cost= tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles + Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers + Rent on factory and equipment

Total cost= 18,000 + 24,000 + 8,000

TC= 50,000

Unitary cost= 50,000/12,000= $4.17 per bottle

Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= unitary cost* units sold= 4.17*8,000= $33,360

B) Income statement:

Sales= 8,000*5= 40,000

COGS= (33,360)

Gross profit= 6,640

Selling expense= (5,000)

Administrative expense= (6,000)

Net operating income= (4,360)

C) Inventory= unitary cost* ending inventory in units

Inventory= 4.17*4,000= $16,680

You purchased a new smart-phone. The cost to you is $39.95 per month for 2 years. Warranty coverage is $12.99 per month. What is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The total cost of the phone is $1,270.56

Explanation:

The total cost of the phone is computed as:

Total cost = Cost of phone for 2 years + Cost of warranty coverage for 2 years

where

Firstly, the cost of phone for 2 years is computed as:

Cost of phone =( For first year) Per month Cost × 12 months  +( For second year ) Per month Cost × 12 months

= $39.95 × 12 + $39.95 × 12

= $ 479.4 + $479.4

=$958.8

Then, the Cost of warranty coverage for 2 years is computed as:

Cost of warranty = ( For first year) Per month Cost × 12 months  +( For second year ) Per month Cost × 12 months

= $12.99 × 12 + $12.99 × 12

= 155.88 + $155.88

= $311.76

Therefore, the total cost would be:

Total cost = $958. 8 + $311.76

= $1,270.56
