Answer:

According to F.A. Hayek, the fundamental problem facing every society is how to use limited resources in the most optimal way possible.

Explanation:

To Hayek, this problem could not be fully solved by any society, but the best a society could do is to rely on the price system, only possible under a free market, to signal which uses were more optimal than others.

This is also the reason why F.A. Hayek, along with fellow Austrian economists Ludwing Von Mises, believe that socialism could not work: socialism, according to Hayek and Mises, destroyes the price system, and without it, society has no rational way to allocate resources in an optimal way.

You are looking to buy a car and you have been offered a loan with an APR of 5.7 %, compounded monthly. a. What is the true mon

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Monthly Interest rate = 0.475%

EAR = 5.85%

Explanation:

APR = 5.7%

Monthly Interest rate = APR / n

Monthly Interest rate = 5.7% / 12

Monthly Interest rate = 0.475%

APR = 5.7%

m = 12

EAR = [ ( 1 + (APR / m))^m] - 1

EAR = [( 1 + (0.057 / 12))^12] - 1

EAR = [( 1 + 0.00475 )^12] - 1

EAR = [( 1.00475 )^12] - 1

EAR = 1.0585 - 1

EAR = 0.0585

EAR = 5.85%

True monthly rate of interest is 0.475%

EAR is 5.85%

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1. $26 per unit

2. $183,040

3. $503,360

Explanation:

1. Computation of per unit mineral cost

Per unit mineral cost=(1,169,500+96,300+214,000-107,000)/52,800

Per unit mineral cost=1,372,800/52,800

Per unit mineral cost=$26 per unit

Therefore the Per unit mineral cost will be $26 per unit

2. Computation of Total materials cost

Total materials cost= (26,400 tons-19,360 tons)*26

Total materials cost=7,040*26

Total materials cost=$183,040

Therefore the Total materials cost will be $183,040

3. Calculation for the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold

Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold= (19,360*26)

Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold =$503,360

Therefore the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold will be $503,360
