Dave and Ellen are newly married and living in their first house. The yearly premium on their homeowner’s insurance policy is $6

50 for the coverage they need. Their insurance company offers a discount of 8 percent if they install dead-bolt locks on all exterior doors. The couple can also receive a discount of 4 percent if they install smoke detectors on each floor. They have contacted a locksmith, who will provide and install dead-bolt locks on the two exterior doors for $110 each. At the local hardware store, smoke detectors cost $24 each, and the new house has two floors. Dave and Ellen can install them themselves.
a. Assuming their insurance rates remain the same, how many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the dead-bolts?
b. How many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the smoke detectors? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Would you recommend Dave and Ellen invest in the safety items, if they plan to stay in that house for about 5 years?

Answer:

The answers are:

A) 4.23 years

B) 1.08 years

C) Off course I would recommend Dave and Ellen to install these safety items, not only because they save money but also because they are very useful.

Explanation:

The cost of the deadlocks including installation is $110 for each exterior door ($220 total). The cost for installing smoke detectors is $24 for each floor ($48 total).

The discount that Dave and Ellen can get is

  • $52 per year for installing the deadlocks
  • $26 per year for installing the smoke detectors

A) It will take Dave and Ellen 4.23 years ($220/$52) to recover the money spent on the deadlocks.

B) It will take Dave and Ellen 1.08 years ("26/$24) to recover the money spent on the smoke detectors.

Answer:

It does not

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to evaluate if a particular transaction carried out between a customer and an inn falls within the dictates of the local consumer protection law in the state.

Firstly, we look at what the local consumer protection law of the state talks about. It explicitly stated that customers should get receipts when suppliers receive deposits from them. Thus, this make the receipt act as the first thing to have if there would be any claim under the consumer protection law for the transaction carried out in the state.

Now, looking at the particular scenario we have, the customer paid for the room, but he was not issued a receipt. This makes the case not treatable within the consumer protection law of the state as the receipt which should have been a prerequisite for further exploration is not available

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The answer is 9,360 direct labor-hours.

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the direct labor-hours per unit. The second step is to calculate the total direct labor-hours required to produce the additional systems.

Step 1

Direct labor-hours per unit = Direct labor / Average wage rate per hour

Star100: Direct labor-hours per unit = 40 / $25 = 1.6

Star150: Direct labor-hours per unit = 50 / $25 = 2

Step 2

Total labor-hours required = Direct labor-hours per unit x Number of systems required

Star100: Total labor-hours required = 1.6 x 2,600 = 4,160

Star150: Total labor-hours required = 2 x 2,600 = 5,200

Combined direct labor-hours required = 4160 + 5,200 = 9,360

I think I must first get the marginal cost of the product before i bought if it is worth it to its value, Then i would compute for the marginal benefit to know what would i gain in this product.
