Answer:

1. 4.75

2. 4.25

Explanation:

1. Private cost is a supplier's or producer's cost of providing goods and services without any external cost.

Private cost:

= Cost of imported oil + Cost of refining oil to gasoline + Cost of distributing and selling gasoline + Government tax

= 0.50 + 1 + 0.75 + 2.50

= 4.75

2. Social cost is private cost plus external cost.

Social cost:

= Cost of imported oil + Cost of refining oil to gasoline + Cost of distributing and selling gasoline + Cost of pollution from one liter of gasoline

= 0.5 + 1 + 0.75 + 2

= 4.25

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$812.49

Explanation:

Given that

Sale value of ordinary annuity = $4,947.11

Time period = 8 years

Interest rate = 6.50%

So by considering the above information, the annual annuity payment is

$4,947.11 = Annual annuity payment × Present value annuity factor at 6.5% for 8 years

$4,947.11 = Annual annuity payment × 6.0888

So, the annual annuity payment is $812.49

Rudik [331]

Answer:

a. cost charge to each division using number of purchase orders as basis of allocation

total cost = $7.7million

Total number of orders

Defense division = 9,200

Commercial division = 36,800

46,000

cost per order = $7,700,000/ 46,000

= $167.74

Defense division = $167.74*9,200 = $1,540,000

Commercial division = $167.74 * 36,800 = $6,160,000

b. Cost charge to each division using dollar amount of purchases as basis of allocation

Total amount of purchase by the departments

Defense division = $148,000,000

Commercial division= 222,000,000

370,000,000

cost per division :

Defense division = $148,000,000 * $7,700,000

$370,000,000

= $3,080,000

Commercial division = $222,000,000 * $7,700,000

$370,000,000

= $4,620,000

c. The method used in determining the price by each division does not have any impact in the selection of basis of allocating cost to each division.

Svetlana won $1,000,000 in a contest, to be paid in twenty $50,000 payments at yearly intervals, the first payment paid at the t

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: 31155.5

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Money won = $1,000,000

Installments made yearly = $50,000

Interest rate = 5%

The yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be: = 500000-x

The future Value of the yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be:

= (50000-x) × (1/(1.05) + (1/(1.05)^2 .....(1/(1+0.05)^20))

= (500000-x) × 33.066

We should recall that the interest from the question is equated to x. This will be:

33.066 × (50000-x) × 0.05 =x

1.6533(50000 - x) = x

82665 - 1.6533x = x

2.6533x = 82665

x = 82665/2.6533

x = 31155.5

The ‘SMART’ technique a tool for effective goal setting. The acronym SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound, all of which are requisites for goals. The goal “to sell a combination of six refrigerators, stoves or dishwashers to earn a bonus” is specific, measurable, attainable and realistic because Michelle has done this before. Yet the goal is not time-bound. The length of time it is required to meet is not specified in the goal.
