Answer:

Present value of the benefits = $6,240,000

Explanation:

Annual interest Rate given = 10%

Semi-annual Interest Rate = 10%/2 = 5%

Df @ 5% for 6 semi-annuals : (1+r/2) ^-m * n

     = (1+ 0.05)^- 18

     = 0.416

Present Value of the benefits= 0.416 x $15,000,000

                                                = $6,240,000

Hence, the present value of the benefits of this saving is $6,240,000.

Suppose Nicholas owns a business making Christmas tree ornaments. Currently, he makes 300 ornaments a month. At this level of pr
Fudgin [204]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1. MC = Cost of raw material + Cost of time

MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)

MC = $10

2.  TFC = $300

Q = 300 ,  AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1

3.  His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 ,  MC = $10

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

4.  His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 ,  MC = $4 + $5 = $9

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

the income is $1,330

Explanation:

The computation of the income is shown below;

Given that

U(x, y) = min{x, y2}

Price of x is $25

ANd, the prcie of Y is $15

So,

25X + 15Y = M

if Y = 7,

So,  

At eqm, X = Y^​​​​​​2 = 49

Then ,

M = 25 × 49 + 15 × 7

= 1225 + 105

= 1330

Hence, the income is $1,330

The same should be relevant and considered too

During 2018​, Doug incurs the following deductible​ expenses:
Alexus [3.1K]

The amount of Doug's taxable income is <u>$27,700</u>.

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u><em>GIVEN</em></u>:

AGI = $35,000

State income​ taxes = $2300

Local property taxes = $3000

Medical expense = $800

Charitable contribution = $2000

Total deduction amount= State income​ taxes+Local property taxes+Charitable contribution

                                        = 2300+3000+2000

                                        = $ 7300

Total deduction amount= $7300

Taxable income= $35000- $7300

                         = $27,700

The amount of Doug's taxable income is <u>$27,700</u>.

REY [17]

Answer:

The answer is: A) A creative work environment

Explanation:

Creative working environments usually enable employees to spend time creating different products, being unpredictable, testing different ideas, making mistakes, and innovating.

It's not easy for management to create such working environments, specially when innovation is not linear, is unpredictable and may be inefficient sometimes. But at the long run, innovative companies will tend to dominate their markets.
