Answer:
The correct answer is A: %70,154
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
True: Finding the present value of cash flows in future years tells you how much you would need to invest today so that it would grow to equal the given future amount.
What is the value today of a $158,000 cash flow expected to be received 12 years from now based on an annual interest rate of 7%?
We need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
FV= final value
i= interest rate
n= number of years
PV= 158000/(1.07^12)= $70,154
Answer: (a) $197,500
(b) $ 189,500
Explanation:
Given : The marginal cost function : 
To find the cost function, we need to integrate the above function with respect to x.
Now, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 100 units to 150 units will be:-
![\int^{150}_{100}\ C'(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{150}_{100} (4000-0.4x)\ dx\\\\=[4000x-\dfrac{0.4x^2}{2}]^{150}_{100}\\\\=[4000(150)-\dfrac{0.4(150)^2}{2}-4000(100)+\dfrac{0.4(100)^2}{2}]\\\\=[600000-4500-400000+2000]\\\\=197500](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cint%5E%7B150%7D_%7B100%7D%5C%20C%27%28x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cint%5E%7B150%7D_%7B100%7D%20%284000-0.4x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000x-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4x%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5E%7B150%7D_%7B100%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000%28150%29-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28150%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D-4000%28100%29%2B%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28100%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B600000-4500-400000%2B2000%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D197500)
Hence, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 100 units to 150 units= $197,500
Similarly, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 500 units to 550 units :-
![\int^{550}_{500}\ C'(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{550}_{500} (4000-0.4x)\ dx\\\\=[4000x-\dfrac{0.4x^2}{2}]^{550}_{500}\\\\=[4000(550)-\dfrac{0.4(550)^2}{2}-4000(500)+\dfrac{0.4(500)^2}{2}]\\\\=[2200000-60500-2000000+50000]\\\\=189,500](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cint%5E%7B550%7D_%7B500%7D%5C%20C%27%28x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cint%5E%7B550%7D_%7B500%7D%20%284000-0.4x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000x-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4x%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5E%7B550%7D_%7B500%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000%28550%29-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28550%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D-4000%28500%29%2B%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28500%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B2200000-60500-2000000%2B50000%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D189%2C500)
Hence, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 500 units to 550 units = $ 189,500
