Answer:

The amount of investment should be $1926.891 approximately

<u>Explanation:</u>

The following formula has been used to calculate the amount of investment

A = P(1+r/100) ^n

where: A = future value , P = present value , R = rate of interest , N = time period

Hence , applying the formula, we get,

$5500 = P (1+6/100) ^18

Hence P=$5500/ (1.06) ^18

=$1926.891(approx)

Suppose that on Valentine's Day, the demand for both roses and greeting cards increases by the same percentage amount. However,
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is: the supply of the greeting cards is less elastic than the one of the roses.

Explanation:

To begin with, the elasticity show how much the price and the quantity are related by indicating the variation that happens to one of them when the other changes. Therefore that the supply of the greeting cards is less sensitive to price because when the quantity demanded increased the price did not change as much as the roses due to the fact that the sellers were not encourage as much as the sellers of the roses to produce more and therefore to increase the price of the cards. So to sum up, when the price changed the sellers were not encourage to increase the production of the cards as much as the production of the roses because of its elasticity.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Giada's Book Store

The company would have reported a total profit of $19,000, which is $10,000 less.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Income statement for the most current​ year:

                                               Cookbook  Travel Book    Classics   Total

Sales                                        $68,000  $126,000  $53,000  $247,000

Cost of goods sold                    40,000     66,000     21,000     127,000

Contribution margin                  28,000     60,000    32,000     120,000

Order and delivery processing 21,000     24,000      11,000       56,000

Rent​ (per sq. foot​ used)              2,000       5,000      4,000         11,000

Allocated corporate costs          8,000        8,000      8,000       24,000 Corporate profit                     ​$​ (3,000​)  $23,000    $9,000     $29,000

Corporate profit =                     $29,000

less allocated cookbook costs   10,000

A company purchases 12,000 pounds of materials. The materials price variance is $6,000 favorable. What is the difference between
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.

Explanation:

Given Data:

Actual Quantity = 12,000 Pounds

Material Price Variance = $6,000

We know the formula for Material Price Variance is:

Materials Price Variance = <em>(Actual quantity × Actual price)</em> – <em>(Actual quantity × Standard price) ----- (1)</em>

For convenience, suppose:

Actual  Price = AP    &  Standard Price = SP

Rearranging the equation (1) and substituting the Actual and standard price with AP and SP we get,

Material Price Variance = (Actual Quantity x AP) – (Actual Quantity x SP)

Taking Actual Quantity as common on the left hand side of equation we get:

Material Price Variance= Actual Quantity (AP – SP) ---- (2)

Putting the values of Material Variance and Actual Quantity in equation (2), we get:

$6000=12,000 (AP – SP)

Rearranging the equation we get,

AP – SP = $6000/12,000

Finally, AP – SP = $0.5

Conclusion:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.
