The question seems to be missing some key figures. Below is what I believe you intended.

Ahmad bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $450 less than the desktop. He paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desktop the interest rate was 7% per year, and for the laptop it was 5.5% per year. The total finance charges for one year were $276. How much did each computer cost before finance charges?

Answer:

The desktop computer costs $2,406 before finance charges while the laptop costs $1956 before finance charges too.

Explanation:

X = price of a desktop computer

Y = price of a laptop computer

the price of the laptop computer is $450 less than the price of

a desktop computer.

this means that y = x - $450.

i1 = interest on desktop computer.

i2 = interest on laptop computer.

i1 = .07 * x

i2 = .055 * Y

the total finance charges for one year are $276.

this means that i1 + i2 = $276 which means that .07x + .055y =

$276.

since y = x - $450, this formula becomes .07x + .055(x-$450) =

$276.

simplify to get .07x + .055x - 24.75 = $276.

combine like terms to get .125x - 24.75 = $276.

add 24.75 to both sides of the equation to get .125x = $300.75

divide both sides of this equation by .125 to get x = $2,406

since y = x - 450, this means that y is equal to $1,956

the desktop computer cost $2,406

the laptop computer cost $1,956

.07 * $2,406 = $168.42

.055* $1,956 = $107.58

$168.42 + $107.58 = $276.00.

solution is confirmed to be correct.

the desktop computer cost $2,406 before the finance charge

was applied.

the laptop computer cost $1,956 before the finance charge was

applied.

Answer:

cost of laptop = $1,800

cost of desktop = $2,100

Explanation:

From the question above, we can see that the laptop costs $300 less than the desktop, therefore, we say:

let x represent the cost of the laptop ;

then x+300 will be the cost of the desktop .

We can also see that the total finance charge of $252 is equal to 7% of the cost of the laptop and 6% of the cost of the desktop, we solve as follows:

252 = 0.07(x) + 0.06(x + 300)

252 = 0.07x + 0.06x + 18

252 - 18 = 0.13x

234 = 0.13x

x = 234/0.13

x = 1,800

Recall that:

cost of desktop = x + 300

therefore:

1,800 + 300 = 2,100.

cost of laptop = $1,800

cost of desktop = $2,100

Current Assets              $14 m                                        $14.95 m

Fixed Assets                  $18 m                                        $27 m

Total                               $32 m                                        $41.95 m

Explanation:

For book Value:

Net fixed assets=$18.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$6.50 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$6.50 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$6.50+$7.50

Current Assets=$14 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$18 m+$14 m

Total Assets=$32 m

For Market Value:

Net fixed assets=$27.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$7.45 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$7.45 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$7.45+$7.50

Current Assets=$14.95 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$27 m+$14.95 m

Total Assets=$41.95 m

                                     Book Value                          Market Value

Current Assets              $14 m                                        $14.95 m

Fixed Assets                  $18 m                                        $27 m

Total                               $32 m                                        $41.95 m

The College of Business is deciding between two photocopier options. The first is to lease a high-end machine for $8,400/year. T
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The first is to lease a high-end machine for $8,400/year.The only additional costs are the cost of paper, which is $0.01/sheet.

The other option is to purchase a machine. The cost is $5,000 and the per sheet cost increases (toner, maintenance) to $0.02.

First, we need to determine the total cost formula for each option:

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01x

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02x

A) Volume= 270,000

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01*270,000= $11,100

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02*270,000= $10,400

Option 2 is the cheapest.

B) Volume= 240,000

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01*240,000= $10,800

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02*240,000= $9,800

Option 2 is the cheapest.

C) To determine the indifference point, we need to isolate X:

8,400 + 0.01x= 5,000 + 0.02x

3,400= 0.01x

340,000=x

The indifference point is 340,000 paper sheets.

For each hypothetical scenario, indicate whether the tariff described is more likely a protective tariff or a revenue tariff.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

a. In response to concerns from business leaders, a legislator has designed a new tariff on raw materials used by many manufacturing firms. The legislator felt the new tariff was necessary based on input from the private sector that new discoveries of natural resources abroad would threaten to put domestic producers of raw materials out of business. To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $1,500 on every crate of the imported goods plus an additional 6% of the total value of the imported goods.

  • protective tariff since it is designed to protect domestic industries from competition of out of state producers. It is designed to increase the price of imported goods.  

b. In an effort to balance next year's budget, a senator has proposed a new tariff. She proposed the new tariff with a goal of raising a total of $100 million, To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $2,000 on every ton that is imported.

  • revenue tariff since its main purpose is to increase government revenue, not to protect domestic industries.
