Answer:

The correct option is B,decrease.

Explanation:

In calculating present value , the future value is divided by the discounting factor,hence, the higher the discounting rate, the higher the discounting factor.

Besides,since the relationship between future value and discounting factor is that of numerator-denominator relationship, it would be logical to say the higher the discounting factor , the lower the output of the mathematical operation,present value and vice versa.

From the foregoing, it is very clear a higher discount rate triggers a lower present value and vice versa

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Part A:

Labur Productivity:

For US=5.14,         LDC=1.35

Capital Productivity:

For US=1.72          LDC=4.31

Part B:(Multi factor productivity)

For US=1.29         LDC=1.03

Part C: (Raw material productivity)

For US=4.90        LDC=10.02

Explanation:

Part A:

Labur Productivity:

For US:

Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Labour(hours} \\Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{100505}{19550} \\Partial Labor Productivity=5.14

For LDC:

Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Labour(hours} \\Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{19600}{14550} \\Partial Labor Productivity=1.35

Capital Productivity:

For US:

Capital Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Capital Equipment} \\Capital Productivity=\frac{100505}{58600}\\Capital Productivity=1.72

For LDC:

Capital Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Capital Equipment} \\Capital Productivity=\frac{19600}{4550}\\Capital Productivity=4.31

Part B:

For US:

Multifactor Productivity=\frac{Sales(units)}{labour(Hours) + Capital Equipment(hours)}\\ Multifactor Productivity=\frac{100505}{19550+58600} \\Multifactor Productivity=1.29

For LDC:

Multifactor Productivity=\frac{Sales(units)}{labour(Hours) + Capital Equipment(hours)}\\ Multifactor Productivity=\frac{19600}{14550+4550} \\Multifactor Productivity=1.03

Part C:

For US:

Raw material productivity=\frac{Sales(Hour)}{Raw Material} \\ Raw material productivity=\frac{100505}{20500} \\ Raw material productivity=4.90

ForLDC:

Converting Raw material FC into $ (1$=10FC)

Raw Material =19550/10=$1955

Raw material productivity=\frac{Sales(Hour)}{Raw Material} \\ Raw material productivity=\frac{19600}{1955} \\ Raw material productivity=10.02

Huai takes out a $3,600 student loan at 6.6% to help him with 2 years of community college. After finishing the 2 years, he tran
Alja [10]

Answer:

a. The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Explanation:

a. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 1.

To determine the amount of periodic payments, the present value of annuity formula should be used:

PV=P(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} )

Where:

PV= present value

p=periodic payment

i=rate of interest

n=number of periods

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 3,600 (loan).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 6.6% or 0.066. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.066 / 12).

n= 4 years and 7 months, that is 55 months.

And we replace in the formula:

3600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.066}{12})^{-55} }{\frac{0.066}{12} } )

3600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-55} }{0.0055} )

3600=P(\frac{1-(0.7395812268)}{0.0055} )

3600=P(\frac{0.2604187732}{0.0055} )

3600=P(47.348867)

Therefore:

P=\frac{3600}{47.348867}

P=76.03

The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 2.

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 11,600 (loan 2).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 7.3% or 0.073. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.073 / 12).

n= 2 years and 7 months, that is 31 months.

And we replace in the formula:

11600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.073}{12})^{-31} }{\frac{0.073}{12} } )

11600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.006083)^{-31} }{0.006083} )

11600=P(\frac{1-(0.8286047296)}{0.006083} )

11600=P(\frac{0.1713952704}{0.006083} )

11600=P(28.1761088936)

Therefore:

P=\frac{11600}{28.1761088936}

P=411.69

The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Kuhn Bicycle Company has been manufactring its own seats for its bicycles. The company is currently operating at 100% capacity,
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

It is cheaper to buy the seats.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company is currently operating at 100% capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 60% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the bicycle seats are $8.00 and $9.00, respectively. Normal production is 50,000 bicycles per year. A supplier offers to make the bicycle seats for $21 each. If the bicycle company accepts this offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $30,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the bicycle seats will have to be absorbed by other products.

Make in house= [8 + 9 + (9*0.6)]*50,000= $1,120,000

Buy= 21*50,000= $1,050,000

It is cheaper to buy the seats.

Earl Miller, owner of a Papa Gino's franchise, wants to buy a new delivery truck in 6 years. He estimates the truck will cost $3
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

  • <u><em>No, he will not have enough money to buy his delivery truck at the end of 6 years.</em></u>

Explanation:

To find how much<em> money Earl Mille</em>r, <em>owner of Papa Gino's franchise</em>, will have in <em>6 years</em>, you must calculate the value of the <em>$20,000</em> that he <em>invests</em> at the <em>5% compounded semiannually:</em>

  • Semianual compounded interest: 5% / 2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Equation:

  • Value=Investment\times (1+r/n)^{(n\times t)}

Where r/n was already calculated: r/n = 0.05/2 = 0.025; and t is the number of years: 6.

        Value=\$20,000\times (1+0.025)^{(2\times 6)}\\\\Value=\$26,899.78

Hence the value of the money invested is less than the value of the truck, and <em>he will not have enough money to buy his delivery truck at the end of 6 years.</em>
