A polisher costs $10,000 and will cost $20,000 a year to operate and maintain.If the discount rate is 10% and the polisher will

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: $22637.98

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the equivalent annual cost of the tool will be calculated as:

We first calculate the present value which will be:

= 10000 + 20000/(1+.10) + 20000/(1+.10)^2 + 20000/(1+.10)^3 + 20000/(1+.10)^4 + 20000/(1+.10)^5

= $85815.74

The the equivalent annual cost will be:

= Present Value/PVIFA(10%,5)

= 85815.74/3.7908

= $22637.98

Kay’s dog-walking service is a profit-maximizing, competitive firm. Kay walks dogs for $7.50 each. Her total cost each day is $4

devlian [24]

Answer:

Because he is able to cover the variable cots, he should keep going in the short run. He must increase the number of walks to cover the fixed costs.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Kay walks dogs for $7.50 each. Her total cost each day is $45—she spends $35 a day on gas driving to different neighborhoods, and her liability insurance and other fixed costs average out to $10 per day.

Kay walks five dogs a day.

Income= 7.5*5= $37.5

Total cost= 45

Loss= (7.5)

Because he is able to cover the variable cots, he should keep going in the short run. He must increase the number of walks to cover the fixed costs.

The manager of the main laboratory facility at Elmhurst HealthElmhurst Health Center is interested in being able to predict the

raketka [301]

Answer:

1. Lab's cost= 3187.94 +6.84 number of lab test performed

2. 0.77126

3. $24391.94

Explanation:

1.

The Lab's cost depends on the number of lab test performed. So, Lab's cost is a dependent variable while number of lab test is an independent variable. The linear regression equation is written as

Y= a+bx

Where,

y= dependent variable

x= independent variable

a= intercept

b= slope

So, the equation can be written as

Lab's cost= a+b number of lab test performed

From the Excel output we know that

Intercept = a= 3187.94

Slope= b =6.84

So, the required regression equation is

Lab's cost= 3187.94 +6.84 number of lab test performed

2.

The Excel output shows that R-square is 0.77126. R²=0.77126 means that only 77.13% of variation in Lab's cost is explained by its linear relationship with number of lab test performed.

3.

We have to predict the lab's cost for 3100 test.

We know that

Lab's cost= 3187.94 +6.84 number of lab test performed.

Here, number of lab test performed=3100.

So,

Lab's cost= 3187.94 +6.84(3100)

Lab's cost= 3187.94 +21204

Lab's cost=$24391.94

Thus, the predicted total laboratory overhead for the month if 3,100 tests are performed is $24391.94.

The Petit Chef Co. has 10.8 percent coupon bonds on the market with eight years left to maturity. The bonds make annual payments

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The yield to maturity is 8.50%

Explanation:

The computation of the yield to maturity is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 8

PMT = $1,000 × 10.8% = $108

PV = $1,129.70

FV = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,fV)

After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 8.50%

And, the same is to be considered

hence, the yield to maturity is 8.50%

What is one important factor to take into account before agreeing to a financing deal?

Mila [183]

Answer:

The most important factor is to carefully<em> examine the terms of the contract. </em>In other words, specifying a financial deal or contract shortly can be hard at times, and it needs thorough examination of the contract.

Therefore, it is essential to carefully read the contract and see if there aren't any hidden fees, provisions or terms that you may not have expected. Also, you should know the consequences related to the situation when you cannot fulfill your part of the deal.
