Since your first birthday, your grandparents have been depositing $1,000 into a savings account on every one of your birthdays.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$25,650

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the future value of an annuity is:

F = P x ([1 + I]^N - 1 ) / I

where:

  • P = payment amount = $1,000
  • I = interest rate = 4%
  • N = number of payments = 18

F = $1,000 x ([1 + 4%]^18 - 1 ) / 4% = $1,000 x (1.04^18 - 1 ) / 4% = $1,000 x (2.026 - 1 ) / 4% =  $1,000 x 1.026 / 4% = $25,650

Gemiola [76]

Answer: $4.87

Explanation:

The question is asking for the Contribution margin which is the amount left of the selling price after the variable costs have been deducted.

Contribution margin = Selling price - variable costs

= Selling price - Raw materials - packing costs

= 17 - 11.23 - 0.90

= $4.87

John Jones owns and manages a café in Collegetown whose annual revenue is $5,000. Annual expenses are as follows:
OleMash [197]

Answer:

a.) $750

b.) Yes, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year.

Yes, he should stay in the café business.

c.) No, the café is making an economic loss of $75 per year

No, he should not stay in the café business.

d.)$3,250

e.) $250

Explanation:

a) John's accounting profit is his revenue minus his explicit costs:$5,000 - $4,250 = $750

b) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the café is $725 per year ($1,000 − $275 = $725). Thus, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $725 = $25). Since the café is earning an economic profit, John should stay in the café business.

c) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the cafe is $825 per year ($1,100 − $275 = $825). Thus, the cafe is earning an economic loss of $75 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $825 = −$75). Since the café is earning an economic loss, John should not stay in the café business.

d) John's accounting profit equals his revenue minus his explicit costs. If he doesn't need a loan, then his explicit costs equal $3,250. So, his accounting profit equals $1,750 (= $5,000 − $3,250).

e) To earn a normal profit, the café would have to cover all its implicit and explicit costs. The opportunity cost of John's time is $1,000 per year while the café's accounting profit is only $750 per year. Thus, the café would have to earn additional revenues of $250 per year in order for John to make a normal profit.

Imagine that a food critic visits your restaurant and writes a positive review that was then published in a magazine. This is an
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Good Quality or Service

Explanation:

This is a very general question however I’ll try to answer it to the best of my knowledge.

This is an example of Good Quality or Service OR Public Relations or Promotion.

Good Quality or Service – The food quality or the service at the Restaurant must be very good that the food critic was so impressed that he/she published this review on the magazine so that others may try the delicious food of this Restaurant.

Public Relations or Promotion – Regardless of the food quality or the service at the Restaurant, the restaurant owner had paid the food critic/blogger to post good reviews about his/her Restaurant in the magazine which would attract more customers to this Restaurant.

In my opinion, Good Quality or Service is more relevant in this scenario.
