Answer:

As the first payment occurs on option 7 n interest rate higher enough can make the 50 dollars received first make the difference.

The switch produced at a rate of :

300%

Interest rate below this mark favor option 6

while higher than this favor option 7

Explanation:

Option 6

perpetuity of 100 discounted 1.5 year

\frac{100}{r} (1+r)^{-1.5}

perpetuity of 50 every 3 years discounted 3 years

as the payment are every three years we calcualte an equivalent rate:

(1+r)^{3} -1 =r_e

\frac{50}{(1+r)^{3} -1} (1+r)^{-1.5}

Option 7

perpetuity of 50 discounted 1 year

\frac{50}{r} (1+r)^{-1}

perpetuity of 100 every 2 years discounted 2.5 years

equivalent biannual rate

(1+r)^{2} -1 =r_e

\frac{100}{(1+r)^{2} -1} (1+r)^{-2.5}

having the formulas

we can do it on excel solver to look at which rate the switch produces

The Baldwin company will sell 100 units (x1000) of capacity from their Baker product line. Each unit of capacity is worth $6 plu
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: $2,210,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the Baldwin company will sell 100 units (x1000) of capacity from their Baker product line and that each unit of capacity is worth $6 plus $4 per automation rating.

We are further told that the Baldwin company will sell the capacity for 35% off. The amount they'll receive when the capacity is sold will be:

The cost per unit will be

= 6 + (4 × 7)

= 34

The worth of the capacity will now be:

= 100000 × 34

= 3,400,000

The amount received will be:

= 3400000 × (1-35%)

= 3400000 × 0.65

= $2,210,000

The Besnier Company had $250 million of sales last year, and it had $75 million of fixed assets that were being operated at 80%
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$312.5 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Besnier Company's sales last year = $250 million

Fixed assets last year = $75 million

Previous operating capacity of fixed assets = 80%

Sales at full capacity:

= Previous sales ÷ Previous Capacity

= $250 million ÷ 80%

= $312.5 million

Therefore, if the company had operated at full capacity then the sales could have been $312.5 million.

When immigration adds to the size of the domestic labor pool, which is likely to occur? minimum wage increases. wages decrease p
Grace [21]

Answer:

wages decrease

Explanation:

Labor is a factor of production and has a price like all other inputs. In the economy, labor is a commodity whose price is determined by the forces of demand and supply.  When there is an oversupply of labor, its equilibrium price will decrease.

The equilibrium price of labor is the prevailing wage rate, where  demand matches supply. When immigration adds to the labor force, it means an additional supply of able and willing workers in the markets. There will be many sellers or workers offering to supply labor services to the existing job openings. As a result, the price of labor will reduce as buyers or employers can lower the wage rate and still get the labor services they require.
