If 7000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 7 per cent per year, Find the amount in the bank after 14 y

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1. Interest compounded annually = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly = $18,598.16

4. Interest compounded continuously = $18,651.19

Explanation:

First let me state the formula for compound interest:

The future value of a certain amount which is compounded is the total amount (Principal + interest) on the amount of money, after compound interests have been applied, and this is shown below:

FV = PV $(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{n*t}$

where:

FV = Future value

PV = Present value = $7,000

r = interest rate in decimal = 0.07

n = number of compounding periods per year

t = compounding period in years = 14

For interests compounded continuously, the Future value is given as:

FV = PV × $e^{r*t}$

where

$e$ is a mathematical constant which is = 2.7183

Now to calculate each on the compounding periods one after the other:

1. Interest compounded annually:

here n (number of compounding periods annually) = 1

Therefore,

FV = 7,000 × $(1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{14}$

FV = 7,000 × $1.07^{14}$ = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly:

here, n = 3 ( there are 4 quarters in a year)

FV = 7,000 × $(1+\frac{0.07}{4} )^{4*14}$

FV = 7,000 × $1.0175^{56}$ = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly:

here n = 12 ( 12 months in a year)

FV = 7,000 × $(1+\frac{0.07}{12} )^{12*14}$

FV = 7,000 × $1.005833^{168}$ = $18,598.16

4. Interests compounded continuously:

FV = PV × $e^{0.07 * 14}$

FV = 7,000 × 2.66446 = $18,651.19

Look at Exercise 19.2. Compute the opportunity costs of producing sweaters and wine in both France and Tunisia. Who has the lowe

monitta

Answer:

Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.

The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.

Ex : Production Possibilities

Wine Sweater Trade off (Wine :Sweater)

France 10 5 1:0.5 or 2:1

Tunisia 8 24 1:3 or 0.33:1

France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine < 2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Operating Income = $100,000

Explanation:

1 a. What is the current annual operating income?

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.3 = 1,500,000

Contribution = 1,000,000 (margin = 1m/2.5m = 40%)

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = $100,000

b. What is the present break even point in revenues?

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 900,000/0.4 = $2,250,000

2. A $0.04 per unit increase in variable costs

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.34 = 1,700,000

Contribution = 800,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = ($100,000)

3. A 10% increase in fixed costs and a 10% increase in units sold

Revenue - 5,500,000* $0.5 = 2,750,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,500,000*$0.3 = 1,650,000

Contribution = 1,100,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$990.000

Operating Income = $110,000

4. A 20% decrease in fixed costs, a 20% decrease in selling price, a 10% decrease in variable cost per unit and a 40% increase inunits sold.

Revenue - 7,000,000* $0.4 = 2,800,000

Less: Variable Costs - 7,000,000*$0.27 = 1,890,000

Contribution = 910,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$720.000

Operating Income = $190,000

5.Compute the new breakeven point in units for each of the following changes: A 10% increase in fixed costs

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 810,000/0.4 = $2,025,000

6. A 10% increase in selling price and a $20,000 increase in fixed costs

Revised Contribution Margin = 0.55 - 0.3 = 0.25; 0.25/0.55 = 0.4545

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 1080,000/0.4545 = $2,376,238
