Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Total car = 200

Rate = $29

Computation:

Total increase in rate = a

So , Total decrees in car = 5a

Total income (y) = [200-5a][29+a]

y = 5,800 + 200a - 145a - 5a²

y = 5,800 + 55a - 5a²

y' = dy / da [5,800 + 55a - 5a²]

y' = -10a + 55

in which , y' = 0

0 = -10a + 55

a = 5.5

So , Maximum rate = $ [29+5.5]

Maximum rate = $34.5

maximum income = 5,800 + 55(5.5)- 5(5.5)²

maximum income = 5,800 + 302.5 - 151.25

maximum income = $5951.25

Your company has just taken out a 1-year installment loan for $82,500 at a nominal rate of 12.0% but with equal end-of-month pay
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

89.63% of 2nd month payment will go towards the payment of principal.

Explanation:

Loan Payament per month = r ( PV ) / 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n

r = rate per period = 12% per year = 1% per month

n = number months = 12 months

PV =  present value of all payments = $82,500

P = payment per month = ?

P = 1% ( $82,500 ) / 1 - ( 1 + 1% )^-12

P = $7,330 per month

Month Payments Principal Interest Balance

1                 -7330              -6505     -825       75995

2                -7330              -6570      -760      69,425

Percentage of Principal Payment  = Principal payment / totla monthly payment = $6,570 / $7,330 = 0.8963 = 89.63%

Answer:

<u>Opportunity cost </u>

Explanation:

Suppose that a university decides to spend $ 1 milion to upgrade personal computers and scientific equipment for faculty rather than spend $  million to expand parking for students . This example illustrates<em><u> opportunity costs.</u></em>

<em>Opportunity cost refers to the cost shifting one opportunity to another opportunity or availing one opportunity in terms of another.</em>  

Formula of Opportunity cost is :

<u>Opportunity cost</u>    =  Total Revenue - Economic Profit

                                    Or

<u>Opportunity cost </u>  = What one sacrifice / What one gain

Where cost driver

= labor cost / labor rate

Total overhead = 270,650

Overhead rate = 270,650 / 19,200

As the director of information systems at your​ company, you receive reports regarding crackpot postings on the company sm site.
Luda [366]

The best course of action is to remove the reponses that were not intended for the site. I would also reach out to those who posted the inappropriate remarks and give them a warning regarding the comments. If they make those comments again or anything of inappropriate nature, they will be terminated.
