Answer:

a. $11,407

b. $18,676

Explanation:

The computation of the actual cost method and the automatic mileage method is as given below:-

Allowable expenses  

= 345 + 2800 + 275 + 205 + 180 + 1890 + 3600 + 4125

= $13,420

(a) The actual cost method

=  $13,420 × 85%

= $11,407

(b) The automatic mileage method  

= Total number of Business miles × Standard Rate (2019)

= $32,200 × 0.58

= $18,676

Which outcome is expected regarding the hot cocoa industry when the cost of cocoa from south america increases in price, making
VLD [36.1K]

Outcome which is expected regarding the hot cocoa industry when the cost of cocoa from south america increases in price, making it more expensive to u.s. businesses is that consumers will decrease the purchase of  hot cocoa.

This happens due to the law of demand.

The law of demand describes that demand for any product changes inversely to its price if  all other things kept equal. In other words, the higher the price will be, the lower the level of demand will be there.

Because the buyers always have finite resources, their spending on a given product or any commodity is also limited , so higher prices will definitely reduce the quantity demanded.

A track dozer cost $165,500 to purchase. Fuel, oil, grease, and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $35.00 per operating hou
STatiana [176]

Answer:

It will charge 54.22 per hour to obtain a yield of 7.3% on the track dozer.

Explanation:

purchase cost 165,500

repair costing 26,000 at year 4

annual cost: 1,800 x 35 = 63,000

salvage value at end of useful life:

21% of purchase cost :

21% of 165,500 = 34,755

We will calculate the present value of the salvage value and the overhaul, to know how much does the company need to generate per year:

165,000 + pv of overhaul + pv of salvage value  = present value of the cash inflow

<u>pv of the overhaul</u>

\frac{overhaul}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

overhaul: 26,000

time   4

rate 0.073

\frac{26000}{(1 + 0.073)^{4} } = PV

PV  $19,614.3744

<u>Then, the PV of the salvage value:</u>

\frac{salvage}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

salvage 34,755

time 6

rate 0.073

\frac{34755}{(1 + 0.073)^{6} } = PV

PV  $22,772.9326

165,500 + 19,614.3744-22,772.9326 = 163,341.4418

The present value of the contribution per hour at 7.3% discount rate should equal this amount

So we will set up the formula for the cuota of an annuity:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV  $163,341.44

time 6

rate 0.073

-34586.3538411519 \div \frac{1-(1+0.073)^{-6} }{0.073} = PV\\

C 34,586.35

The contribution per year should be 34,586.35

each hour contribution should be: 34,586.35/1,800 = 19.2146

After the operating cost it should net 19.2146

hourly rate - 35 = 19.2146

hourly rate = 19.2146 + 35 = 54.2146 = 54.22

Albend Holmes wants to deposit $4,500 in a bank account that pays 8.25 percent annually. How many years will it take for his inv
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

10 years

Explanation:

A = P(1 + r)^n

A (amount) = $10,000

P (principal) = $4,500

r = 8.25% = 0.0825

10,000 = 4,500(1 + 0.0825)^n

10,000/4,500 = 1.0825^n

2.22 = 1.0825^n

Log 2.22 = Log1.0825^n

nLog1.0825 = Log2.22

n = Log2.22/Log1.0825 = 0.3464/0.034 = 10 years (to the nearest year)
