Answer:

You will receive $201.38 more interest if the investment is made with a compound interest rate rather than a simple interest rate.

Explanation:

<u>Simple interest rate</u>

We can calculate how much interests you'd obtain if you deposited the $2,600 in a simple interest rate account.

We start using the following formula for calculating the simple interests:

I=P * r

Where:

<em>I</em> are the interests per year,

<em>P</em> is the amount being invested,

<em>r</em> is the interest rate.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

I=2600*0.05=130

We then proceed to multiply this result by the <em>given number of years</em>, which is 8. We get 130*8=1040.

Finishing with the <em>simple interest rate</em>, if we wanted to know how much is the investment worth at the end of a 8 year period, we must merely add <em>the principal</em> (the $2,600) to the total interests after the end of the period ($1040). So 2600+1040= 3640.

We'll use these results later.

<u>Compound interest rate</u>

The formula for compound interests is the following:

I=P(1+r)^n

Where:

<em>I</em> is the value of the investment after <em>n</em> years,

<em>P</em> is the principal amount being invested,

<em>r</em> is the interest rate,

<em>n</em> are the number of years the investment is compounded.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

I=2600*(1+0.05)^8=3841.38

After the 8 year period, the investor will have $3841.38 in it's compounded interest account.

<u>Comparing these results</u>

<u></u>

We can simply substract the value of both investments at the end of a 8 year period, to determine how much more interest does the compound interest rate account give in relation to a simple interest rate account.

The values we've gotten were:

$3,640 for the simple interest rate account, and

$3,841.38 for the compounded interest rate account.

3841.38-3640=201.38. Therefore the answer is: the account that pays compounded interests will pay $201.38 more to this invididual, compared to an account that pays simple interest.

Answer:

I couldn't find any possible options, but if Mel wants to expand collaborative involvement between companies, he should try to make them work together.

Mel is probably trying to sell a new software or technological device to his client, and in order to try to convince the client that his offer is the best, he could suggest that the engineers from his company work together with the engineers of the buying company in order to solve any issues or doubts that may exist. This doesn't necessarily mean that they have to come together and work side by side, now you can work together using Skype of other communications app.

Corporation makes one product. July August September October Budgeted unit sales 8,500 9,000 13,900 11,100 - The ending finished
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

$133,704

Explanation:

The budgeted required production for August is computed as follows:

Budgeted sales in units 9,000

Add desired ending inventory 5,560

(September sales of 13,900 units × 40%

= 5,560 units)

Total needs 14,560

Less beginning inventory 3,600

(August sales of 9,000 units × 40%

= 3,600 units.)

Required production 10,960

The budgeted raw material purchases for August are computed as follows:

Required production in units of finished goods 10,960

Units of raw materials needed per unit of finished goods 6

Units of raw materials needed to meet production(10,960×6) 65,760

Add desired units of ending raw materials inventory 7,688

(76,680 pounds × 10% = 7,668 pounds)

Total units of raw materials needed 73,428

Less units of beginning raw materials inventory 6,526

( 65,760 pounds × 10% = 6,576 pounds)

Units of raw materials to be purchased 66,852

The budgeted cost of raw material purchases for August is computed as follows:

Units of raw materials to be purchased (a)$66,852

Unit cost of raw materials (b)$2.00

Cost of raw materials to be purchased (a) × (b)$133,704
