Answer:

$212,882.75

Explanation:

Cost from 2 years now = $190,000

Cost from 9 years now = $120,000

Interest rate = 9% Quarterly

Present Worth = Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm] * Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^2*4] + 120,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^9*4]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1.0225)^8] + 120,000*[1/(1.0225)^36]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/1.19483] + 120,000*[1/2.22782]

Present Worth = 190,000*0.83693915 + 120,000*0.4488693

Present Worth = 159018.4385 + 53864.316

Present Worth = 212882.7545

Present Worth = $212,882.75

Thus, the amount to invest to cover these cost is $212,882.75

A stock’s price fluctuations are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $29.51 and a standard deviation of $3.87. You
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

$34.46

Explanation:

In this Question there is Highest value of 10% and the probability of 90%.

we will use following formula to calculate the highest value of the stock

z value = ( x - mean ) / Standard deviation

where

x = the highest value

z score value at 10% = 1.28

Placing value in the formula

1.28 = ( x - $29.51 ) / $3.87

1.28 x $3.87 = x - $29.51

$4.9536 = x - $29.51

x = $4.9536 + $29.51

x = 34.4636

Suppose an industry has 100 firms, each with a supply curve P = 50 + 10Q . Furthermore, suppose the market demand curve is given
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The industry supply curve will be the supply curve given multiplied by the total number of firms. This will be:

P = 50 + 0.1Q

Check: since Q = 100

P = 50 + 10/100Q

P = 50 + 0.1Q

To get the Equilibrium price and quantity, we've to equate the market demand curve and supply. This will be:

Market demand = P = 200 - 0.9Q

Market Supply = P = 50 + 0.1Q

Therefore,

200 - 0.9Q = 50 + 0.1Q

200 - 50 = 0.1Q + 0.9Q

150 = Q

Equilibrium quantity = 150 units

Since P = 50 + 0.1Q

P = 50 + 0.1(150)

P = 50 + 15

P = 65

Equilibrium price is 65.

The units of output that will be produced by a firm operating in this market with a marginal cost function, MC = 130Q will be 2.
