Answer:

C. 1.40x

Explanation:

1. Production:

November through February: x rakes/month* 4 months = 4x rakes.

2. Shipping and storage costs

March= 4x (initial stock) - x/2 (shipped) = 3.5 x (in stock) * 0.1$ = $0.35

April = 3.5x (stock at end of March) - x/2 (shipped) = 3x*0.1$ = $0.30

May = 3x (stock at the end of April) - x/2 (shipped) = 2.5x*0.1$ = $0.25

June= 2.5x (stock at the end of May) - x/2 (shipped) = 2x (in stock) * $0.1 = 0.2$

July = 2x (stock at end of June) - x/2 (shipped) = 1.5x*0.1$ = $0.15

August = 1.5x (stock at the end of July) - x/2 (shipped) = 1x*0.1$ = $0.1

Sept= 1x (stock at the end of August.) - x/2 (shipped) = 0.5 x (in stock) * $0.1 = $0.05

October = 0.5x (stock at end of sept.) - x/2 (shipped) = 0*$0.1 = $0

Total storage cost= $0.35x+$0.30x+$0.25x+$0.20x+$0.15x+$0.10x+$0.05x+$0x

Total storage cost = $1.40X

Yakov lives in San Diego and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $704,000 from selling boats. Of t

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Yakov's explicit costs are the monetary costs that he pays while running his business:

Payment to manufacturer: $404,000

Wages and utility bills: $286,000

Total explicit costs: $690,000

Yakov's implicit costs are his opportunity costs, in other words, the things he gives up in order to run his business:

Rent he would get for his showroom: $3,000

Wage he would get as an accountant: $20,000

Total implicit costs: $23,000

Yakov's accounting profit is equal to revenue minus total explicit costs:

Accounting profit = $704,000 - $690,000

= $14,000

Yakov's economic profit is equal to revenue minus total costs (the sum of implic costs and explicit costs)

Economic profit = $704,000 - $713,000

= ($9,000)

Despite the fact that Yakov is not earning an economic profit selling boats, as an accountant, he would give up on the $704,000 that he is been making from selling boats. For that reason, he should keep the boat selling business.

Your broker suggests that the stock of DUH is a good purchase at $25. You do an analysis of the firm, determining that the recen

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "$28.03".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Good purchase,

= $25

Dividend,

= $1.40

Annually earning,

= 5%

Beta coefficient,

= 1.3

Treasury bills,

= 1.4%

Now,

= $1.4+1.34\times 8-1.4$

= $1.34\times 8$

= $10.244$ (%)

hence,

The fair value will be:

= $1.4\times \frac{1.05}{.10244}-.05$

= $28.03$

Absolutely, the proposal including its brokerage must be adopted because as fair market value was almost $25.

You’ve been called in to consult with a small startup company that needs advice on how to set up its computer systems and networ

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

focus on a client-server model

Explanation:

In this scenario, the best advice that can be given would be to focus on a client-server model. Since almost all of the applications that will be used by the employees are server-based it would be best to focus on only implementing the minimum necessary hardware for the 30 employees. So much so that they are able to access the server correctly but without adding excessive hardware power that would simply be overkill. Since the company already has all the necessary LAN switches it would be fairly simple to connect all of these machines together and 50 Mbps is more than enough for data transfer.
