Answer:

C) 7.47%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial investment = $41,800

Time, n  = 50 years

Future value = $1,533,913

Now,

Using the formula of compounding

Future value = Initial investment × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

here,

r is the geometric average return

thus,

$1,533,913 = $41,800 × ( 1 + r )⁵⁰

or

( 1 + r )⁵⁰ = 36.696

or

1 + r = 1.0747

or

r = 0.0747

or

r = 0.0747 × 100%

= 7.47%

Fabiola, who lives in mexico city, fills her car with gas, paying 357 pesos for 40.0 l. what is her fuel cost in dollars per gal
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Fabiola pays 27.0963 dollars for 8.79877 gallons of fuel.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Fabiola pays 357 pesos for 40 liters of fuel.

It is required to convert the amount in dollars.

Since, we know that,

1 peso = 0.0759 dollars

So, 357 pesos = 0.0759 × 357 = 27.0963 dollars

Moreover,

1 liter = 0.219969 gallons

So, 40 liters = 0.219969 × 40 = 8.79877 gallons

Thus, we get that,

Fabiola pays 27.0963 dollars for 8.79877 gallons of fuel.

Given the total fixed-cost curve in gray and the total variable-cost curve in color, draw the total cost curve. Three points on
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

TFC : Horizontal Line parallel to X axis

TVC : Upward sloping inverse S shape curve from origin

TC : Upward sloping increase S shape curve, with Y axis intercept = TFC

Explanation:

Total Fixed cost [TFC] is the total production expenditure, done on fixed factors of production (Eg - on machine, building etc). It is incurred even at zero level of output, stays same (constant) irrespective of output level. So, it's curve is a  constant horizontal line.

Total Variable Cost [TVC] is the total production expenditure, done on variable factors of production (Eg - on raw material). It is zero at zero level of output,  directly related to level of output thereafter. It first increases at a decreasing rate, then increases at an increasing rate. So, it's curve is inverse S upward sloping curve from origin.

Total Cost [TC] is the total cost incurred on all factors of production (fixed & variable). It is sum of TVC & TFC. As TFC is constant at all levels of output, TC changes due to change in TVC. So, TC is also directly related to output level, first increases at increasing rate & then at decreasing rate. Hence, it is also a inverse S upward sloping curve. But, it also includes constant TFC. So, the curve has intercept on Y axis = TFC (it doesn't start from origin).

lue Inc. has decided to raise additional capital by issuing $171,000 face value of bonds with a coupon rate of 11%. In discussio
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Value assigned to bonds =

Value of bonds without warrants/(value of bonds without warrants+value of warrants)*Issue price

Value assigned to warrants =

Value of warrants/(value of bonds without warrants+Value of warrants)

Value assigned to bonds = 115,200/(115,200+28,800) * 140,000 = 0.8*140,000 = 112,000

Value assigned to warrants = 28,800/144,000 * 140,000 = 28,000

Journal entries:

Dr Cash 140,000

Dr Discount on bonds payable (171,000-112,000) 59,000

Cr Bonds payable 171,000

Cr Paid in capital-Stock warrants 28,000

Suppose that the Federal Reserve conducts open market operations by purchasing $1,000 worth of government securities from Bank A
notsponge [240]

Answer:

$100 in bank A

$900 in bank B

Explanation:

Since the required reserve ratio is 10%, then bank A can lend up to 90% of the funds to bank B, and must keep the remaining 10%.

  • bank A = $1,000 x 10% = $100
  • bank B = $1,000 x 90% = $900

If bank B borrowed the money to another client, then they would be able to borrow $900 x 90% = $810, and they should keep $90 as reserves.

Blue Ridge Mountain  ⇒ farming. The major economic activities in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of Virginia include farming, livestock, lumber and tourism.  

Coastal Plain  ⇒ tourism. The main sources of income include tourism, shipbuilding and military contractors.
