Your company produces mass spectrometers for sale to colleges and universities throughout the United States. On February 12, the

University of Washtenaw contacts your company to purchase 12 mass spectrometers at $1,000,000 per unit. You enter into a contract with the university on March 1 under those terms, along with a delivery date of December 1. On April 10, you receive a letter from the university stating that, due to ambiguities in the contract language, they believe you are only owed $10,000,000. Specifically, Washtenaw states, "please find enclosed a check for $10,000,000 for payment in full, check marked as such. Also, this is the total amount of our budget. We would be more agreeable to cancelling the contract than to have to come up with another $2,000,000." Your company has not yet started production on the spectrometers. What are your options and why?

The perimeter of a rectangle with a width x and a length that is four times the widthA nursery has $55,000 of inventory in dogwo
nalin [4]

The question is incorrect. The correct question is as follows,

A nursery has $55,000 of inventory in dogwood trees and red maple trees. The profit on a dogwood tree is 28% and the profit on a red maple tree is 17%. The profit for the entire stock is 20%. How much was invested in each type of tree?

Answer:

The investment in Dogwood trees is $15000.

The investment in red maple trees is = $40000

Explanation:

To calculate the investment in each type of tree, we will say that x was invested in dogwood trees and the investment in red maple trees was 55000-x.

The profit on the entire investment is calculated as the weighted average of the profit on dogwood trees and profit on the red maple trees. The formula for overall profit can be written as follows,

Overall profit = Investment in dogwood / total investment * profit % on dogwood  +  Investment in red maple / total investment * profit % on red maple

0.2 = x / 55000 * 0.28  +  (55000 - x) / 55000 * 0.17

0.2 = 0.28x / 55000  +  (9350 - 0.17x) / 55000

0.2 = 0.28x + 9350 - 0.17x / 55000

0.2 * 55000 = 0.11x + 9350

11000 = 0.11x + 9350

11000 - 9350 = 0.11x

1650 / 0.11 = x

x = $15000

If x is $15000, this means that the investment in Dogwood trees is $15000.

If x is $15000, this means that the investment in red maple trees is 55000 - 15000 = $40000

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

The nominal GDP is equal to the real GDP in the base year, that's why GDP deflator in the base year is equal to 100.

GDP deflator is calculated as the nominal GDP divided by the real GDP multiply by 100. It is shown as:

GDP deflator = \frac{Nominal\ GDP}{Real\ GDP} \times 100

GDP deflator would be used as the conversion factor that transformed the real GDP into nominal GDP.

You are considering two mutually exclusive projects. Project A costs $3.6 million, has a required return of 14.5 percent, and an
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is a capital budgeting method that is used to determine the profitability of a project.

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

The decision rule when using the internal rate of return is to undertake the project if the internal rate of return is greater than the required return of the project. If this is not met, the project should be rejected.

If choosing between multiple projects, the decision rule is to choose the projects with the highest internal rate of return. This is because that project would be the most profitable.

Neither of the project should be selected because the IRR of both projects is less than their required returns
