Answer:

Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours

Explanation:

<u><em>The learning curve theory</em></u><em> states that as the cumulative output doubles the cumulative average time taken till date is reduced to a certain percentage of the previous time. This percentage is called learning rate</em>

Total time = Average time × cumulative number of units

The cumulative average time is determined using the formula below:

Y= aX^b

a - time taken for the first unit produced

b = log LR/Log 2

X- cumulative units till date

Y - cumulative average time taken for X units

LR- Learning rate

LR = 68/80 = 0.85 = 85%

<em>Time needed to complete the 4th unit</em>

= Learning rate × time take for the 2 unit

= 85% × 68

= 57.80 hours

Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours

Last Chance Mine (LCM) purchased a coal deposit for $750,000. It estimated it would extract 12,000 tons of coal from the deposit
Verdich [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of LCM's cost depletion for years 1, 2, and 3 is shown below:

Particulars          Year 1                 Year 2                  Year 3          

Tons extracted  2,000                  7,200                   3,800                (A)

Depletion rate   $62.50                $62.50                 $62.50             (B)

Depletion          $125,000             $450,000            $237,500       (A × B)

By multiplying the tons extracted with the depletion rate we can get the depletion for each year i.e for year 1, year 2 and year 3

A newly issued bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent and semiannual interest payments. The bonds are currently priced at par. The
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: 7.12%

Explanation:

Effective Annual Interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for the number of compounding periods a financial product will experience in a period of time.

To calculate the Effective Annual Rate one can use the following formula,

Effective Rate of Interest = (1+r/m)^m - 1

where r is the rate and

M is the no of compounding periods per year which in this case would be 2 because the payments are semi annual

Plugging in figures would give us,

Effective Rate of Interest = (1+0.07/2)^2 - 1

=0.0712

= 7.12%

Producer surplus directly measures a. the well-being of buyers and sellers. b. the well-being of society as a whole. c. the well
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

c. the well-being of sellers.

Explanation:

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

On the other hand, consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus.

In conclusion, producer surplus directly measures the well-being of sellers.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a. What is the value today of Steinberg's debt and equity?

  • $2,890,909

b. What is the value today of Dietrich's debt and equity?

  • $2,890,909

c. Steinberg’s CEO recently stated that Steinberg’s value should be higher than Dietrich’s because the company has less debt and therefore less bankruptcy risk. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

  • A. Disagree: a company's value is determined by by its operating income (EBIT), not by there capital structure (M&M theory).

Explanation:

economic expansion 80% chance, EBIT $3.5 million

economic recession 20% chance, EBIT $1.9 million

expected EBIT = (3.5 x 0.8) + (1.9 x 0.2) = $2.8 million + $0.38 million = $3.18 million

Steinberg's debt obligations $980,000 at the end of next year

Dietrich's debt obligations $2,000,000 at the end of next year

total company value = $3.18 million / (1 + 10%) = $2,890,909
