The Browns plan to fly to their vacation spot and then drive through the mountains. They arranged to rent a sedan for $37.45 per day with no charge for mileage. What will it cost the Browns to rent a car for 10 days if they spend $78 for gasoline and $16.75 for miscellaneous items
Answer:
$469.25
Explanation:
total cost = total cost of renting car + cost of gas + miscellaneous items
total cost of renting car = 37.45 x 10 = 374.5
374.5 + 78 + 16.75 = 469.25
Your mayor just announced that the local unemployment rate dropped from 10.5% to 10.4% from the prior month. Evaluate the unemployment rate drop and discuss whether there is enough information to determine significance. Support your response with specific examples. In replies to peers, discuss whether you agree or disagree with their assessments and justify your response
Answer:
Not enough information
Explanation:
from this question, this mayor has only given us the estimated proportion of the rate of unemployment for these months. In order to know if it is significant or not, we have to carry out other tests such as the hypothesis testing for the population proportion. But here we do not have any sample data or population data with which we can use to test this significance. The sample size is unknown so we cannot proceed to test if the claim is significant or not.

Suppose that XTel currently is selling at $60 per share. You buy 1,000 shares using $48,000 of your own money, borrowing the remainder of the purchase price from your broker. The rate on the margin loan is 8%.
Required:
What is the percentage increase in the net worth of your brokerage account if the price of XTel immediatelychanges to (a) S66: (b) $60; (c) S54?
Answer:
a. 12.50%
b. 5%
c. -12.50%
Explanation:
Purchase value of share = 1000 shares x $60 = $60000
Own money used for pruchase = $48000
Loaned money = 60000 - 48000 = $12000
a. Percentage increase in net worth = (66x1000 - 12000 - 48000) / 48000 = 12.50%
b. Percentage increase in net worth = (60x1000 - 12000 - 48000) / 48000 = 0%
a. Percentage increase in net worth = (54x1000 - 12000 - 48000)/48000 = -12.50%

Mid-Town Copy Service processes 2,100,000 photocopies per month at its mid-town service center. Approximately 50 percent of the photocopies require collating. Collating is currently performed by high school and college students who are paid $8 per hour. Each student collates an average of 5,000 copies per hour. Management is contemplating the lease of an automatic collating machine that has a monthly capacity of 6,000,000 photocopies, with lease and operating costs totaling $1,550, plus $0.05 per 1,000 units collated.(a) Determine the total costs of collating 500,000 and 1,500,000 per month:1. With student help.2. With the collating machine.(b) Determine the monthly volume at which the automatic process becomes preferable to the manual process.
Answer:
Mid-Town Copy Service
a. The total costs of collating 500,000 and 1,500,000 per month are:
500,000 1,500,000
1. With student help $800 $2,400
2. With the collating machine $1,575 $1,625
b. The monthly volume at which automatic process becomes preferable to the manual process is:
= 1,050,000 photocopies.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Monthly photocopies processed per month = 2,100,000
Photocopies requiring collation = 1,050,000 (50% * 2,100,000)
Cost of collating per hour = $8
Average number of copies collated by a student per hour = 5,000
Total cost of manual collating copies = $8 * 1,050,000/5,000 = $1,680
Lease cost of automatic collating machine = $1,550 + $0.05 per 1,000 units collated
The total costs of collating 500,000 and 1,500,000 per month:
500,000 1,500,000
1. With student help $800 $2,400
($8 * 500,000/5,000) ($8 * 1,500,000/5,000)
2. With the collating machine $1,575 $1,625
($1,550 + $0.05* 500,000/1,000) ($1,550 + $0.05* 1,500,000/1,000)
b. The monthly volume at which automatic process becomes preferable to the manual process is 1,050,000.
At this volume, costs are:
Manual Process = $1,680 ($8 * 1,050,000/5,000)
Automatic Process = $1,603 ($1,550 + $0.05* 1,050,000/1,000)

Your boss wants to set safety stock levels correctly to ensure an 87.9% service level. She needs your answer right away. What should the safety stock level be given that you know: * Average replenishment cycle is 10 days * Standard deviation of daily demand is 12 units * Average daily demand is 100 units * Standard deviation of the replenishment cycle is 3 days Group of answer choices
Answer:
the safety stock is 354
Explanation:
The computation of the safety stock is shown below:
= z × SD of demand during lead time
= z × [ ( SD of daily demand)^2 × Lead time + ( Demand × SDLT)^2]^0.5
= z × [ 144 × 10+ ( 100 × 3)^2]^0.5
= z × [ 1440+90000]^0.5
= 1.17 × 302.39
= 353.79
= 354
hence, the safety stock is 354
Actual fixed overhead is $33,300 (12,000 machine hours) and fixed overhead was estimated at $34,000 when the predetermined rate of $3.00 per machine hour was set. If 11,500 standard hours were allowed for actual production, applied fixed overhead is:____.
a. 33,300.b. 34,000.c. 34,500.d. not determinable without knowing the actual numbers of units produced.
Answer:
C. $34,500
Explanation:
Given the above information, applied fixed overhead is computed as;
= Standard hours allowed for actual production × Predetermined rate
Standard hours allowed for actual production = 11,500
Predetermined rate = $3 per hour
Then,
Applied fixed overhead
= 11,500 hours × $3 per hour
= $34,500
The Fish House is expected to pay annual dividends of $1.23 and $1.25 at the end of the next two years, respectively. After that, the company expects to pay a constant dividend of $1.35 a share. What is the value of this stock at a required return of 16.4 percent?a. $6.07b. $8.55c. $8.05d. $11.08e. $8.23
Answer:
c. $8.05
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is the value of this stock at a required return of 16.4 percent
First step is to calculate the P2
P2 = ($1.35/.164)
P2= $8.23
Now let calculate the value of the stock

P0 = $8.05
Therefore the value of this stock at a required return of 16.4 percent is $8.05

Year Nominal GDP Real GDP GDP Deflator (Dollars) (Base year 2016, dollars) 2016 2017 2018 From 2017 to 2018, nominal GDP , and real GDP. The inflation rate in 2018 was.
Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Real GDP is defined as the Nominal GDP minus the inflation effect.
Real GDP provides a more accurate picture of economic growth than nominal GDP because it uses constant prices, making comparisons between years more meaningful by allowing for comparisons of the actual volume of goods and services without considering inflation.
Let's say you bought apples at 5dollars per pound in 2015. Imagining a country of 1000 people and considering everyone bought a pound apples and only apples in that year, the GDP comes out to be 1000*5 = 5000 dollars.
Now let's say inflation rate is 10 percent in 2016 which will increase the price to 5.5 dollars per pound. Also, in one year, 10 more people were added to the country (No of births - No of deaths = New people in that year), this brings out total population to around 1010.
Also, let's say that the sale of apples remained the same, so the GDP of 2016 comes out to be 1000*5.5 = 5500 dollars.
That's a whooping 10% increase in GDP, right?
But here the catch.
The GDP increased not because the demand increased, but because the price of the good increased.
If we see at previous year's price (Not considering the inflation, also called Real GDP), the GDP is same which is 5000 dollars.
So, in reality, there isn't any increase in GDP.
