Answer:

133 acres of sugar cane

and 300 of soybean provide a profit of $ 733,000

Explanation:

We setup the fromulas and use excel solver:

labor hours:  3 x sugar acres + 4 x soybean <= 1,600

profit  = 1,000 x sugar acres + 2,000 soybean

with the restriction soybean <= 300

                 SOLVER  

              acres          hours             PROFIT

sugar cane 133  x 3 = 399       x 1,000 =    133,000

soybeans 300  x 4 = 1,200           x 2,000 =<u>  600,000  </u>

                                                  TOTAL           733,000

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Net income = 50,000

Preferred dividend = 2,000

Outstanding common stock:

= (40,000 × 2) + (10,000 × 6/12 × 2)

= 80,000 + 10,000

= 90,000

2016 basic earnings per share:

= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Outstanding common stock

= (50,000 - 2,000) ÷ 90,000

= 48,000 ÷ 90,000

= $0.53 per share

Therefore, the 2016 basic earnings per share is $0.53.

For the past 15 years you have been depositing $700 per month in the PIMCO bond fund, and you have now transferred your current
madam [21]

Answer:

To determine the total amount of money that I will have in my account at the time of my retirement, we must consider the total amount paid into the PIMCO account during the last 15 years, and add to this value the potential amount to be paid in the next 20 years in the Vanguard account.

Thus, during the previous 15 years, I have deposited 700 dollars per month in my PIMCO account, with which I have a cumulative total of $ 126,000 (700x12x15). Also, I will potentially deposit another $ 168,000 (700x12x20) in the Vanguard account for the next 20 years.

Therefore, over the 35 years of savings, once the time has come to retire, I will have $ 294,000 in my retirement investment.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month, with the following results: Sales (90 units) $90,000 Production
umka21 [38]

Answer:

d.$18,900

Explanation:

Gross Profit is the net of Sales value and production cost in the period for the units sold. Under absorption costing all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production of products are included in the total production cost. As the cost is available for 100 units produced we need to calculate the cost of 90 unit and deduct this cost from the sales value to determine the gross profit and then deduct the operating expenses to calculate the operating income.

Sales (90 units)                                                                  $90,000

Less: Production costs:

Direct materials ( $40,000 x 90/100 )              $36,000

Direct labor ( 20,000 x 90/100 )                       $18,000

Variable factory overhead ( 2,000 x 90/100 ) $1,800

Fixed factory overhead ( 7,000 x 90/100 )      <u>$6,300</u>

Total Production cost                                                       <u>($62,100)</u>

Gross Profit                                                                        $27,900

Less Operating expenses:

Variable operating expenses $8,000

Fixed operating expenses      $1,000

                                                                                          <u>($9,000)</u>

Operating Income                                                             <u>$18,900</u>

Ashley is considering the purchase of a stock that has just paid a dividend of $0.72, today. The dividend is expected to grow at
arlik [135]

Answer:

$10.28

Explanation:

<u>Step 1. Firstly we use the of the The dividend discount model (DDM)</u>

This calculation is: D1 = D0 x (1 + g)

D1 = $0.72 x (1 + 2.8%) = $0.74.

Where

Do = Dividend now

D1 = Dividend in year 1

g = growth

<u>Step 2 Next, using the Gordon Growth Model, </u>

Price per share is found to be D(1) / (r - g)

Price = $0.74 / ( 10% - 2.8%) = $10.28

where:

Do = Dividend now

D1 = Dividend in year 1

g = growth

r = required return

Automatic stabilizers refer to:
Aliun [14]

Answer:

B) government spending and taxes that automatically increase or decrease along with the business cycle.

Explanation:

The two most common automatic stabilizers are: income taxes and unemployment benefits.

When the economy is strong, people make more money, and income tax revenue automatically increases.

On the contrary, when the economy is weak, or in recession, people earn less, and more of them are unemployed. Unemployment benefits therefore increase accordingly.
