Answer:

A. Effective cost is $2000 for tappan, $2050 for hill

B. $1998.75

Explanation:

For tappan

Total tons purchased = 4000

Plastic discarded = 100

Percentage of discarded = 100/4000 x 100 = 2.5%

Percentage of accepted( not discarded) = 100 - 2.5% = 97.5%

Bid price = $1950

Effective cost of Tappan = 1950/97.5% = 1950/0.975 = <u>$2000</u>

For Hill

Total tons purchased = 6500

Plastic discarded = 520

% discarded = 520/6500*100 = 8%

% accepted = 100%-8% = 92%

Bid price = $1886

Effective cost for Hill = 1886/92% = <u>$2050</u>

2. Bid of Tappan/97.5% = $2050

We cross multiply

Bid of Tappan = 2050 x 0.975

= <u>$1998.75</u>

This bid by Tappan would make kinnear indifferent between buying from both

Newman Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $296,375 and has a guaranteed interest rate
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Investment period = 24 years

Explanation:

The total amount that an investment made today would become  if invested at a particular rate for certain number of years is known as the future value.

The $1,200,000 is the desired future value, the $296, 375 is the present value and the 6% is the interest rate.

FV = PV × (1+r)^n

1,200,000 = 296,375 × (1.06)^(n)

(1.06)^(n) = 1200000/96,375

(1.06)^(n) =4.048924504

find the log of both sides

n log 1.06= log 4.048924504

n= log 4.048924504/log 1.06

n = 24

It will take 24 years
