Answer:

a. Productivity in terms of revenue per dollar input:

Cost = Average time taken * Cost per minute + additional cost per search

Current cost = 64 * 1.70 = $108.80

Company A cost = (64 - 20 mins) * 1.70 + 3.50 = $78.30

Company B cost = (64 - 21) * 1.70 + 5.50 = $78.60

Productivity = Client fee / Cost

Current productivity

= 410 / 108.80

= $3.77

Company A

= 410 / 78.30

= $5.24

Company B

= 410 / 78.60

= $5.22

b. Company A is best.

Explanation:

<u>GIVEN:</u>

Total cost receives weighting = 40%

  • short term cost weighting  = 50% of (Total cost receives weighting)

  • long term cost weighting

                                    = 20% of (Total cost receives weighting)

                                    = 20% of 40% = 8%

Sauron [17]

Answer:

$378

Explanation:

Interest expenses in current year = Amount of borrowing*Interest rate*8 month/12 months

Interest expenses in current year = $30,000 * 6.75% * 8/12

Interest expenses in current year = $1,350

Tax saving on interest expenses = Interest expenses * Tax rate

Tax saving on interest expenses = $1,350 * 28%

Tax saving on interest expenses = $378

So, their tax savings for the first year ending December 31 will be $378.

The compensation companies receive for purchasing capital assets is called the return on?
Mamont248 [21]

<u>Return on Investment</u> is the compensation companies receive for purchasing capital assets.

Capital assets are significant pieces of property like houses, automobiles, rental properties, stocks, bonds, and even antiques or works of art. A capital asset for businesses is an asset with a useful life of more than a year that is not intended for sale during normal company operations.

Your investments in the business are the time and money you devote to strengthening your company. The profit you receive from your investments is the return. The ratio of net profit to the entire cost of the investment is how ROI is often defined.
