Answer:

Equivalent annual cost ($) 294,177,861.7

Explanation:

Present \ Worth\ (PW) ($) = 3,000 \times  170,000 + 7,500 \times 170,000 \times PVIF (8%, 1)

From PVIF table, the value of PVIF (8%, 1)  is 0.9259

= 510,000,000 + 1,275,500,000 \times  0.9259

= 510,000,000 + 1180522500

= 1,690,522,500

Equivalent annual cost ($) = \frac{PW}{PVIFA (8 percentage, 8)}

from PVIF and PVIFA table, the value of PVIFA (8 %, 8) is 5.7466  

= \frac{1,690,522,500}{ 5.7466} = 294,177,861.7

A careful analysis of the cost of operating an automobile was conducted by a firm. The following model was​ developed: Modifying
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a. 7,000

b. 9,000

Explanation:

The model developed is correctly stated as follows:

y = 4,000 + 0.2x .................................... (1)

​a) If the car is driven​ 15,000 miles this​ year, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile ls ​(enter your response as a whole​ number)

When x = 15,000, we substitute this into equation (1) and calculate y as follows:

y = 4,000 + 0.2(15,000) = 4,000 + 3,000 = 7,000

Therefore, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile ls $7,000 when the car is driven​ 15,000 miles this​ year.

​b) If the car is driven​ 25,000 miles this​ year, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile is ​(enter your response as a whole​ number).

When x = 15,000, we substitute this into equation (1) and calculate y as follows:

y = 4,000 + 0.2(25,000) = 4,000 + 5,000 = 9,000

Therefore, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile ls $9,000 when the car is driven​ 25,000 miles this​ year.

Comparing the answers obtained in (a) and (b) above, we can see that the higher the number of miles the car is driven, the higher is the operating cost. This implies that there is a positive relationship between the number of miles the car is driven and its operating cost.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

a debit balance of $1,300

Explanation:

Generally in the income statement, a net profit is the excess of income over expenses during a given period and this will give a credit balance in the income statement, but this will be a debit balance in Income Summary to close the account.

On the other hand, a net loss is the excess of expenses over income during a given period and this will give a debit balance in the income statement, but this will be a credit balance in Income Summary to close the account.

Since Camera Obscura Enterprises made a net profit of $1,300 in the month of June, the balance in Income Summary will therefore be a debit balance of $1,300.
