The easiest way to solve this is to work with two equations:

<span>X + 4000Y = $5000  (1)</span>

<span>X + 2000Y = $4000  (2)</span>

Where X is the fixed portion of the water bill and Y is the cost of water per car.

 

Solve for X for each equation:

<span>X = $5000 – 4000Y  (3)</span>

<span>X = $4000 – 2000Y  (4)</span>

 

Therefore:

$5000 – 4000Y = $4000 – 2000Y (5)

 

Solve for Y:

Y = $0.5

 

Substitute into equation1:

X + 4000(0.5) = $5000

<span>X = $3000</span>

Scotch Inc. arranged a $7,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. The firm paid an annual commitment fee of 0.
baherus [9]

Answer:

$575,000

Explanation:

Data provided:

The total amount for the credit agreement = $7,000,000

The amount borrowed by the firm = $6,000,000

The annual commitment fee for the unused balance = 0.5%

Prime rate of interest = 8%

Interest paid above the prime rate = 1.5%

Now,

the unused amount = $7,000,000 - $6,000,000 = $1,000,000

The amount of commitment fees paid

= total unused amount × Annual commitment fees

= $1,000,000 × 0.005

= $5000

Total interest paid on the borrowed amount

= Amount borrowed × (prime rate + additional rate)

= $6,000,000 × ( 0.08 + 0.015)

= $6,000,000 × 0.095

= $570,000

Hence,

the total dollar annual cost of the revolver

=  interest paid on the borrowed amount + amount of commitment fees paid

= $570,000 + $5000

= $575,000

The Hutch Fashions sends out its spring and summer catalog to Liz. Liz falls in love with the cute dress featured on the front c
Ede4ka [16]

Cindyliz is wrong in this situation

Both Cindyliz and The Hutch Fashions did not signed any contract that specify the obligation that The Hutch Fashions need to sell  a certain type of product to Cindyliz. She just obtained a summer catalogue, not a purchase order.  A catalogue only filled with list of product information that company sold.

a) ( 0.8509718, 0.8890282)

b) ( 0.7255, 0.7745)

Explanation:

(a)

Given that , a = 0.05, Z(0.025) =1.96 (from standard normal table)

So Margin of error = Z × sqrt(p × (1-p)/n) = 1.96 × sqrt(0.87 × (1-0.87) / 1200)

=0.01902816

So 95 % confidence interval is

p+/-E  

0.87+/-0.01902816  

( 0.8509718, 0.8890282)

(b)

Margin of error = 1.96 × sqrt (0.75 × (1-0.75) / 1200) = 0.0245

So 95% confidence interval is

p+/-E

0.75+/-0.0245

( 0.7255, 0.7745)
