Clarisa, an engineering manager, wants to purchase a resort accommodation to rent to skiers. She is considering the purchase of

a three-bedroom lodge in upper Montana that will cost $250,000. The property in the area is rapidly appreciating in value because people anxious to get away from urban developments are bidding up the prices. If Clarisa spends an average of $500 per month for utilities and the investment increases at a rate of 2% per month, how long would it be before she could sell the property for $100,000 more than she has in

Answer:

18.5 months approximately

Explanation:

initial investment x (1 + appreciation rate)ⁿ = initial investment + $100,000 + ($500 x n)

$250,000 x (1 + 2%)ⁿ = $350,000 + $500n

1.02ⁿ = $350,000/$250,000 + $500n/$250,000

1.02ⁿ = 1.4 + 0.002n

I tried to solve it by trial and error:

50 months:

2.69 ≠ 1.5

40 months:

2.21 ≠ 1.48

30 months:

1.81 ≠ 1.46

20 months:

1.49 ≈ 1.44 ⇒ getting closer

18 months:

1.43 ≈ 1.44 ⇒ almost

18.5 months:

1.44 = 1.44 ✓

Suppose that preferences over private consumption C and public goods G are such that these two goods are perfect substitutes, th
Temka [501]

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

Public goods are goods consumed collectively, they are provided for all members of a community,

no one can be excluded from their consumption. The consumption by one person does not decrease the consumption possibilities for others. Public goods are available for everybody without paying, and these goods cannot be rationed: they are either provided for the whole community, or for no one. Examples of public goods include the public lighting system, public roads, radio broadcasts, national defence, lighthouses, town pavements, etc.

Private goods, on the other hand, are goods consumed individually, and if a unit has been consumed by

someone, then no one else can also consume the same unit. Private goods are scarcely available, and consuming a unit will decrease the amount available for further consumption. Therefore consumers compete for private goods, i.e. private goods are rival in consumption. Consumers can consume them if they pay the price, non-payers are excluded from consumption.

In the first scenario, given that both the private good and public good are perfect substitutes, the optimum quantity produced by the government is at the point where marginal social cost is equal to the marginal social benefit. This optimum output is lower than that of the private firm because the price of public good is higher than price of private good (since marginal social cost > marginal private cost).

If b increases, that means consumers are willing to give up more units of public goods for one unit of the private good. Therefore, the quantity produced by the government will reduce.

For the second part of the question: C = aG, where a > 0.

This implies that equal or more units of the private good is consumed with a particular units of public good. The optimum output still remain at the point where marginal social cost is equal to marginal social benefit but this output level is lower than if the two goods were to be perfect substitutes.

A direct cost is a cost that is____________.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Traceable to a single cost object.

Explanation:

Direct Cost for finished goods is referred to the costs of the items and services directly used in production that can be allocated to a single cost object. Other costs including rent and production site insurance are indirect costs. The cost of the finished goods may be assigned to indirect costs, but they are not direct costs because they do not change with production levels.

Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year. At the end of th
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: 4%

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year and that at the end of the year, retiree benefits paid by the trustee were $28 million and cash invested in the pension fund was $32 million.

Based on the above scenario, the percentage rate of return on plan assets goes thus:

Opening balance of plan assets 1200

Add:- Actual return = 48

Add:- contributions = 32

Less :- retiree benefits = -28

Closing balance of plan assets = 1252

It should be noted that the actual return is the balancing figure which is calculated as:

= 1252 + 28 - 1200 - 32

= 48

The percentage rate of return on plan assets will now be:

= 48/1200

=0.04

= 4%
