Answer:

7 packets of  sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Explanation:

Let x packets of​ sweet-pepper seeds for ​$2.16 each and y packets of​ hot-pepper seeds for ​$4.24 each are mixed to obtain 16​-packet mixed pepper assortment for ​$3.33 per packet,

i.e. x + y = 16       ..........(1)

Also,

The price of sweet-pepper seeds + price of hot pepper seeds = price of the mixture

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33(x+y)

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33x+3.33y

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y - 3.33x-3.33y = 0

⇒ −1.17x +0.91y = 0  ........(2)

Equation (2) + 1.17 × equation (1)

0.91y + 1.17y = 18.72

2.08y = 18.72

⇒ y = 9

From equation (1),

x + 9 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 - 9 ⇒ x = 7

Hence, there are 7 packets of  sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Answer:

D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as some figures are omitted. The full question is therefore presented first before answering the question as follows:

The reserve requirement is​ 10%.

Suppose that the Fed sells ​$150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond​ dealer, electronically debiting the​ dealer's deposit account at Reliable Bank.

Which of the following correctly describes the immediate effect of this transaction on the money​ supply?

A. The money supply decreases by ​$1,500,000

B. The money supply decreases by ​$135,000.

C. There is no change in the money supply.

D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

E. None of the above.

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

This is an example of Open market operations (OMO).

Open market operations (OMO) is a monetary policy strategy in which the central bank such as the Federal Reserve sells or purchases government securities in order to implement a particular monetary policy.

When the central bank sells government securities on the open market, it aims to reduce the money supply by the worth of the securities. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.

On the other hand, when the central bank purchases government securities on the open market, it aims to increase the money supply by the worh of the government securities. This is called an expansionary monetary policy.

From the question, the sale of ​$150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond​ dealer is a contractionary monetary policy and it will reduce the money supply by exactly $150,000.

Therefore, the correct option is D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

The total factory overhead for Magnum Corporation is budgeted for the year at $500,000. This is divided into three activity pool
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The ABC overhead for a Deluxe kayak will be $170.93

Explanation:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

We are going to divide the overhead cost over the cost driver of each activity.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&Overhead&Total&Rate\\fabric&246,000&10,000&24.6\\assembly&144,000&32,000&4.5\\setup&110,000&15&7,333.33\\\end{array}\right]

Now we apply the rate to Deluxe Kayak:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&Rate&Deluxe&Overhead\\fabric&24.6&10,000&246,000\\assembly&4.5&24,000&108,000\\setup&7,333.33&10&73,333.33\\Total&-&-&427,333.33\\\end{array}\right]

Finally we divide the overhead for Deluxe between the units produced

427,333.33/ 2,500 = 170.933 = 170.93

Suppose a riskless project requires an initial investment of $10 and will generate a one-time cash inflow of $30 two years later
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

D. The payback period is less than 2 years.

Explanation:

Discount rate                 5%  

                                        0      1          2

intital investment        -10  

cash flow                       0        30

Total cash flow         -10      0        30

NPV                        17.21  

IRR                                 73%  

Therefore, The NPV is 17.21 and is positive, the statement is True.

IRR > 50%, Therefore the statement made is True

Accounting rate of return = {[(30 - 10)/10]^(1/2)} - 1

                                           = 41% > 0

Therefore, The statement made is true.

Payback period = 2 years, Therefore the statement made is NOT true.
