Lorico [155]

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

This is a problem of compound interest. The formula is:

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where

F is the future value

P is the present value

r is the rate of interest

t is the time in years

P = 13,000

To double his money, that means, F = 26,000

a)

Now, r = 9% = 0.09, so time it takes:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\26,000=13,000(1+0.09)^t\\2=1.09^{t}\\t=\frac{Ln(2)}{Ln(1.09)}\\t=8.04$

So, its gonna take about 8.04 years to double

b)

Similarly, here we just use r = 0.06, so the calculation is:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\2=1.06^t\\t=11.9$

So, its gonna take about 11.9 years to double

c)

Here, the r is 11% or 0.11

So, the time it will take:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\2 = 1.11^t\\t=6.6$

So, it is going to take about 6.6 years to double

d)

The amount of time it takes to double his money decreases as the interest rate increases and the time increases as interest rate decreases.

A company purchased a weaving machine for $206,520. The machine has a usedul life of 8 years and a residual value of $11,000. It

Answer:

The amount of depreciation expense that should be recorded for the second year is $28,600

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation per units or bolts under the units-of-production method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated production bolts)

= ($206,520 - $11,000) ÷ (752,000 bolts)

= ($195,520) ÷ (752,000 bolts)

= $0.26 per bolt

Now for the second year, it would be

= Production units in second year × depreciation per bolts

= 110,000 units × 0.26

= $28,600

Barney builds custom wooden birdhouses. he can make 150 birdhouses per month and sell them for $50 each. his average total cost

musickatia [10]

Answer:

125 birdhouses per month

Explanation:

Barney=150 birdhouses

Total product=150 birdhouses

If Barney hires Fred

Fred =125 birdhouses

Total product=150+125

=275 birdhouses

Marginal product can be defined as a change in output as a result of a change in variable inputs

It can be calculated as follows

Marginal product=change in total product/change in variable inputs

=275-150/1

=125/1

=125 birdhouses per month

5. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that, in real terms, overall consumer spending increased by $345.8 billion in 2015.

ikadub [295]

Answer & Explanation:

a. MPC = 0.50; Change in consumption spending = $345.8 billion

According to multiplier formula,

Change in real GDP/ Change in consumption spending = 1/(1-MPC) = 1/(1-0.5) = 1/0.5 = 2

So, Change in GDP = Change in consumption spending*2 = (345.8)*2 = $691.6 billion

Change in GDP = $691.6 billion

b. Change in investment = -$100

According to multiplier formula,

Change in real GDP/ Change in investment = 1/(1-MPC) = 1/(1-0.5) = 1/0.5 = 2

So, Change in GDP = Change in investment*2 = (-100)*2 = -200

So, total change in GDP = 691.6 - 200 = $491.6 billion

Change in real GDP = $491.6 billion

c. Percentage change in real GDP = (Change in Real GDP/GDP at the end of 2014)*100 = (491.6/15,982.3)*100 = 3.08%
