Answer:

$144,000

Explanation:

Sales $900,000

Less Variable expenses:

Cost of goods sold $630,000

Variable selling $90,000

($900,000 ÷ $50 per book = 18,000 books)

($5 per book x 18,000 books)

Variable administrative $36,000

(4% of $900,000)

Total Variable expenses $756,000

Contribution margin $144,000

($900,000-$756,000)

Therefore the Contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is $144,000

Matt inherited as a trust a fifteen-year annuity-immediate with annual payments. He has been told that the annuity payments earn
Pavel [41]

Answer:

effective annual interest rate = 6.32%

annual payment = $1,585

Explanation:

I believe that this is an ordinary annuity, so we can use the future and present value of an ordinary annuity formula:

FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor, so annual payment = FV / FV annuity factor

PV = annual payment x PV annuity factor, so annual payment = PV / PV annuity factor

we can equal both equations:

PV / PV annuity factor = FV / FV annuity factor

FV / PV = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

$37,804.39 / $15,077.10 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

2.5074 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

the easiest way to solve this is to use an annuity table since we already know that there are 15 periods (I used an excel spreadsheet):

%,15 periods      FV annuity factor     PV annuity factor        FV/PV

1                                 16.097                   13.865                      1.1609

2                                17.293                   12.849                      1.34586

3                                18.599                    11.938                      1.55797

4                               20.024                     11.118                       1.80104

5                                21.579                   10.380                      2.07890

<u>6                               23.276                   9.7122                       2.3966</u>

<u>7                                25.129                   9.1079                       2.7590</u>

8                                27.152                   8.5595                       3.1721

9                                29.361                   8.0607                      3.6425

10                               31.772                   7.6061                         4.4112

The interest rate must be between 6 and 7%:

%,15 periods      FV annuity factor     PV annuity factor        FV/PV

6                               23.276                   9.7122                       2.3966

6.3                            23.81491               9.52467                     2.50034

6.31                           23.83312               9.51851                     2.50387

<u>6.32                          23.85135               9.51236                     2.5074</u>

6.4                            23.99773              9.46337                     2.53585

effective interest rate = 6.32% per year

annual payment = $37,804.39 / 23.85135 = $1,585

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: 150

By inventory, we mean a complete list of items at the end of a business day. In the case of a cook who is required to <span>conduct a food inventory at the end of every week, inventory should include the 25 steaks in the front refrigerator and the 125 in the back freezer. The 18  marinated for tonight's dinner should not be included  because it will be consumed that night.  The inventory of steaks therefore is 25+125=150.</span>

A Japanese worker can produce 6 units of steel or 3 televisions per hour. A Korean worker can produce 8 units of steel or 2 tele
kifflom [539]

Answer:

2 and 4

Explanation:

Japanese worker can produce 6 units of steel or 3 televisions per hour.

Korean worker can produce 8 units of steel or 2 televisions per hour.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. So when the country decides to produce only televisions it has to give up on steel production. Thus, the units of steel forgone for each unit of television gained is an opportunity cost of a television.

Opportunity cost  = \frac{Units of Steel lost}{Units of Television gained}

Thus,

Opportunity cost of television for Japan = \frac{6}{3}  = 2

Opportunity cost of television for Korea = \frac{8}{2}  = 4

A microeconomist wants to determine how corporate sales are influenced by capital and wage spending by companies. She proceeds t
Leto [7]

Answer:  option b

 

Explanation: In simple words, collinearity refers to the condition under which some of the Independent variables in the model are related to each other. This  international between independents variables can result into incorrect results while fitting the model.

Therefore, collinearity causes problem as the analyst prepares a model on the basis that there will be two inputs one is dependent another is independent but due to this phenomenon the  expected input structure collides.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the economist should be concerned with col linearity.
