A student has a savings account earning 9% simple interest. She must pay $1400 for first-semester tuition by September 1 and $14
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: The answer is $2,759.22

Explanation: From the question above, we have:

September 1st to January 1st is 4 months, this is 1/3 of a year which means that the student will earn:

=> 9/3 = 3%

3% interest for the money that is saved is the savings account. So the student must put in at least:

x + 3%x = 1400

x + 0.03x = 1400

1.03x = 1400

x = 1400 / 1.03

x = 1,359.22

Therefore, if the student saves $1,359.22 in the savings account By September 1st, she will have $1400 by January 1st.

Also, the student needs to make $1400 for the first semester. So overall she will need to make:

1,400 + 1,359.22 = $2,759.22 during the summer in order to ensure that she will have enough money to pay for both semesters.

Suppose a technological improvement has lowered the cost of manufacturing cell phone batteries. This would lead to ___________ (
Julli [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: an increase; fall; substitutes; decrease; complements; increase.

Explanation:

Technological improvement has lowered the cost of producing cell phone batteries. This reduction in the cost of production will cause the price of cell phone batteries to decline. Since batteries are used as inputs in the cell phone. The reduction in the price of inputs means that the cost of production would decrease. The firms will be able to supply more at the same cost. The supply, as a result, will increase. The supply curve will shift to the right. The price of cell phones will decline.

Cell phones and landlines are substitutes. They can be used in place of each other. A decrease in the price of cell phones would cause the demand for landlines to decrease as the consumers will prefer a cheaper substitute.

The cell phones and applications, however, are use complements. They are used together. So when the price of cell phones decrease and its demand increase, the demand for cell phone applications will increase as well.

Information technology has advanced dramatically within the last 25 years or so. At the same time there have been significant sh
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Did the technology push the changes in the world, or was it the other way around? What evidence is opinion based upon or how did you draw your conclusions?

In my opinion the world started to change during the 1970s when Steve Jobs introduced the personal computer. Before him, only huge corporations could afford computers since they were huge and costed millions. Since then, information technology (IT) has increased in gigantic steps and when the internet was available for public use, the world as we know it changed.

When the world was struggling again during the great recession, my hero came back and changed the way IT industry again with the iPhone and the whole app culture. I am a little over 25, and I can tell that everything was very different when I was a small kid. You actually needed to read a newspaper and use encyclopedias (very large books).

Now everything is on the web and now most of us are even working using the internet. In just seconds we know what is happening in China or any other country in the world, while before all we heard about China was that were many Chinese and they were communists. IT has enabled whole new industries that boost the economy much more than any other manufacturing business ever had. The world would be a much different place if it wasn't for the Apple I, the internet or the iPhone.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

16.80% and 39.43%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the net profit margin is shown below:

Net profit margin = Net income ÷ Total revenues × 100

For Travel lite, the net profit margin is

= $1,080 ÷ $6,430 × 100

= 16.80%

And, for fare line, the net profit margin is

= $3,020 ÷ $7,660 × 100

= 39.43%

By dividing the net income or net profit by the total revenues we can get the net profit margin or we can say it is profit percentage that is earned by the company

It is always expressed in percentage

TEA [102]

Answer: Inform Sergio so he can sue the seller.

Explanation: when a fraudulent seller causes Hilda not to be given commission she earned from her last transaction, the best course of action is to let her broker, Sergio know of the fraudulent seller so he can be sued to court.

Sellers are required by law to make accurate disclosures regarding properties they sell. Failing that, they can be sued for fraud, this helps entitle the broker bringing a suit in civil law against the fraudulent seller to attorney’s fees and punitive damages.
