mote1985 [20]
The correct answer is - the number of hours he works at each job.
If we have the number of hours he works for each job separately, then we will be able to take out a percentage of the earnings from both of the jobs separately. We will than get the sum of the percentages if both of them, and have the real amount of George's weekly savings.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:  $57,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning finished goods inventory in units = 0

Units produced = 7,000

Units sold = 5,100

Sales = $663,000

Materials cost = $140,000

Variable conversion cost used = $70,000

Fixed manufacturing cost = $490,000

Indirect operating costs (fixed) = $102,000

Total Variable cost of units produced = Materials cost + Variable conversion cost used

                                                               = $140,000 + $70,000

                                                               = $210,000

Variable\ cost\ per\ unit = \frac{Total\ variable\ cost}{units\ produced}

                                               =\frac{210,000}{7,000}

                                               = $30

Units in ending inventory = Units produced - Units sold

                                          = 7,000 - 5,100

                                          = 1,900

Value of Variable costing ending inventory = Units in ending inventory × Variable cost per unit

                                                                        = 1,900 × $30

                                                                        = $57,000

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

$102,348.034

Explanation:

It is a simple problem of Compound Interest, we have to find the Principle amount invested.

Given:

Future value (F) = $260,000

Rate(R) = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Number of years (n) = 16 years

Initial deposit (C) = ?

Calculation:

Future value (F) = C\times (1+R)^n\\Future value (F) = C (1+0.06)^{16}\\260,000 = C(2.54035168)

$260,000/2.54035168 = C

$102,348.034 = C

So, Initial cash Deposit = $102,348.034

A bond has a face value of $1,000, a coupon of 4% paid annually, a maturity of 30 years, and a yield to maturity of 7%. What rat
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

-11.8%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:

price=\frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{1} }+ \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{2} } \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{3} }+...+\frac{principal+principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{n} }

so in this particular case that one year later there are 29 years to maturity so we have:

price=\frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+ \frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{2} } \frac{1000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{3} }+...+\frac{1,000+1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{30} }

price=553.6638

so as we have a higher rate the investment has the next return:

return=\frac{553.66}{627.73} -1

return=-11.8\%
