fgiga [73]

Answer:

B 30 percent

Explanation:

Initial cost of production = (2×$10) + (5×$4) + (8×$3) = $20+$20+$24 = $64

New cost of production = (2×$10) + (5×$8) + (8×$3) = $20+$40+$24 = $84

% rise in cost of production = (new cost - initial cost)/initial cost × 100 = (84 - 64)/64 ×100 = 20/64 × 100 = about 30%

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

PV= $9,626.49

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $1,500

Interest rate= 9%

Number of years= 10

First, we will determine the future value, using the following formulas:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= cash flow

FV= {1,500*[(1.09^10) - 1]} / 0.09

FV= $22,789.395

Now, the present value:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 22,789.395/(1.09^10)

PV= $9,626.49
