Answer:

b. 864

Explanation:

Jane; Pv = P.a 10? + Q[(a.10? - 10v^10)/i}]

Pv = 100(7.7217) + 100[(7.7217 - 6.1391)/0.05]

Pv = 3937.38

Mary; Pv = P.a 10? + Q[(a.10? - 10v^10)/i}]

Pv = x(7.7217) - (x/10)[(7.7217 - 6.1391)/0.05]

Pv = 7.7217x - (x/10)(31.6521) = 4.5565x

Equating Pv for both Jane and Mary

3937.38 = 4.5565x

x = 3937.38/4.5565 = 864.124

x = 864.124 = 864

mart [117]

The most likely factor that this department store company would have considered in discontinuing its credit card operations is the issue of bad debt.

Maurice can drive or fly from Jacksonville, Florida to Atlanda, Georgia, for a one-day business trip. If he drives, he will be a
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

c. $150.

Explanation:

the extra amount of hours Maurice can work taking a flight will be of 5 hours

(8 hours taking a plane against 3 hours if driving)

As the income per hour is 30 dollar it can generate;

5 hours x $30 per hour = $150

Maurice will only travel by plane if it generates the same or more income than the driving thus, a differencial price of less than 150 dollars will provide Maurice with a net gain. Also we should consider that if Maurice drives his car it is taking a depreication hit per mile while driving that is being ignoer to keep the assignment simple. But considering that the amount of differential income could be higher than $150

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6.

Explanation:

Holding stock of a Public company entitles you to a potential return on your investment which can be in the form of Capital Appreciation/Gain, that is buying at low and selling at high, or Dividends received. In the given question, we are not required to calculate total return rather capital gain, simply the difference between purchase price and selling price, so there is no need to account for dividends. The formula for Capital Gain is given below:

                Capital Gain / Appreciation = Selling Price - Purchase Price

⇒ Capital Gain = 38 - 32 = $6.
