Answer:

36,000 baths

Explanation:

The computation of the bath towels that must the firm would sell at the break even point is shown below:

But before that the contribution margin per unit is

<u>Particulars        Bath towels   Hand towels  Wash towels</u>

Selling price      $10                  $5                  $2.5

Less: variable cost $4              $2                  $1

Contribution margin $6           $3                  $1.50

No of items in batch  4             3                    2

Contribution margin per unit $24   $9        $3

Now the number of baths would be

= $324,000 ÷ ($24 + $9 + $3) × 4

= 36,000 baths

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: C. Jill should focus on the business market and license the natural gas rights.

Explanation:

Option C is indeed the right answer. Focusing on the Business Market will get her a better deal because larger companies will be involved.

It would be very advantageous to license the rights as there will be various bids for the license with the largest bid getting it and only for a period of time.

Going with this option can get Jill a better deal all round.

There are three clues labeled "daily double" on the game show Jeopardy. If three equally matched contenders play, what is the pr
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

a)  0.0358

b)  0.0395

c)  0.1506

Explanation:

Number of clues "daily doubles" = 3

Determine the probabilities

<u>a) P(single contestant finds all three ) </u>

assuming event A= a returning champion gets the "daily double" in first trial

P(A) = 1/30 , P(~A) = 29/30              

assuming event B = any player picks up "daily double" after the first move

P(B |~A ) = 1/3

hence : P ( B and ~A ) = 29/30 * 1/3 = 29/90

<em>considering second round </em>

P(player chooses both daily doubles ) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

∴ P(single contestant finds all three )  = 29/90 * 1/9 = 0.0358

<u>B) P ( returning champion gets all three ) </u>

= (1/30 + 29/90 )* 1/9

= 32 / 810 = 0.0395

<u>c) P ( each player selects only one )</u>

P = 32/405 + 29/405

  = 61 / 405 = 0.1506

Great Western Southern purchased $525,000 of equipment four years ago. The equipment is seven-year MACRS property. The firm is s
tester [92]

Answer: $153,782.70

Explanation:

The MACRS allowance percentages are as follows, commencing with Year 1: 14.29, 24.49, 17.49, 12.49, 8.93, 8.92, 8.93, and 4.46 percent.

In 4 years, the depreciation would be:

= Cost price * (4 year deprecation)

= 525,000 * (14.29% + 24.49% + 17.49% + 12.49%)

= $360,990

Book value :

= 525,000 - 360,990

= $164,010

Gain (loss) = Sale price - Book value

= 150,000 - 164,010

= ($14,010)

Tax payable = (14,010) * 27%

= ($3,782.70)

After-tax cash flow:

= Selling price - Taxes

= 150,000 - (-3,782.70)

= $153,782.70

<em>Note: If there are options, beware of rounding errors and pick nearest option. </em>

The overhead costs in a highly automated factory are expected to increase at an annual compound rate of 10 percent for the next
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The annual worth of the overhead costs for 7 year-period is

A = $389743.42.

<em>Then the time value of the annual worth is discounted by 8%</em>

∴  $389743.42 x 0.08 = $31179.47.

Explanation:

Using the formula

A = P(1 + r/n){nt}

Where:

A = ?

t = 7

P = $200,000.00

r = 10%

n= 1

TVM =8%

∴ A = $200,000.00(1 + 0.10/1){1 * 7}

A = $200,000.00(1.10){7}

A = $200,000.00(1.9487171)

A = $389743.42

<em>Then the time value of the annual worth is discounted by 8%</em>

∴  $389743.42 x 0.08 = $31179.47
