Answer:
The average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.
Explanation:
The total cost function given in the question first correctly stated as follows:
TC = 25Q^1/2 + 2,500 ................ (1)
A caseload of 25 attempted placements implies that:
Q = 25
Substitute Q = 25 into equation (1), we have:
TC = (25 * 25^(1/2)) + 2,500 = 2,625
The average cost (AC) can now be calculated as follows:
AC = TC / Q = 2,625 / 25 = 105
Therefore, the average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.
Solve for the missing amounts using a T-account for the balance sheet accounts in each situation. Assume that there is only one debit entry and one credit entry in the account during the month. Required: a. The Supplies account had a balance of $1,250 at the beginning of the month and $1,700 at the end of the month. The cost of supplies purchased during the month was $4,000. Calculate the cost of supplies used during the month.
Answer:
$3,550
Explanation:
Supplies used = Opening supplies + Purchases of Supplies - Ending Supplies
therefore,
Supplies used = $1,250 + $4,000 - $1,700
= $3,550
thus,
The cost of supplies used during the month is $3,550.
A 22-year old college student has been promised a $1 million check at this 50thbirthday (28years from today). What is the present value of the $1 million today assuming an interest rate of 5%
Answer:
$255,093.64
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the present value of $1 million today
Using Financial calculator
PV = PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)
Where,
FV = $1,000,000
Annual Interest rate = 5%
Number of periods = 28

Cape Corp. will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The company has stated that it will maintain a constant growth rate of 4.5 percent a year forever.
a. If you want a return of 15 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
b. If you want a return of 8 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
Answer:
a.
$27.27
b.
$75
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of the stock
Value of Stock = Expected Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )
a.
Where
Expected Dividend = $3.00
Rate of return = 15%
Growth rate = 4.5%
Placing values in the formula
Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 15% - 4% )
Value of Stock = $3 / 11%
Value of Stock = $27.27
b.
Where
Expected Dividend = $3.00
Rate of return = 8%
Growth rate = 4.5%
Placing values in the formula
Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 8% - 4% )
Value of Stock = $3 / 4%
Value of Stock = $75
What IHRM activities would be pertinent to the sending, by Médecins Sans Frontieres, of a medical team into a country such as Bangladesh?

Beginning three months from now, you want to be able to withdraw $2,700 each quarter from your bank account to cover college expenses over the next four years. If the account pays .67 percent interest per quarter, how m
Answer:
PV= $40,835.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Quarterly withdrawal (A)= $2,700
Number of periods= 4*4= 16 quarters
Interest rate= 0.67% per quarter
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 2,700*{(1/0.0067) - 1 / [0.0067*(1.0067)^16]
PV= $40,835.6
1. A certain family has a car loan of $24,623 with a local bank. Because of this loan balance the family would classified as a: demander of loanable funds deficit savings unit deficit budget unit all of the above none of the above
Answer: None of the above
Explanation:
The deficit spending unit is used in describing a scenario when an economy, the household or firm, has spent more than it earned for a particular period of time.
Since the family has a car loan of $24,623 with a local bank, thus means that they spent more than they earned and therefore took loans and are a deficit spending unit.
Since the option isn't given, the correct option is None of the above.
If a bank has a required reserve ratio of 25 percent and there is $10,000 in deposits, what is the maximum amount of loans that can be made by this bank
Answer: $40,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the maximum amount of loans that can be made by this bank will be calculated as:
= Deposit × 1/Reserve ratio
= $10000 × 1/25%
= $10000 × 1/0.25
= $10000 × 4
= $40000
Therefore, the maximum increase in money supply is $40000.

Last year Ace charged $1,469,867 Depreciation on the Income Statement of Andrews. If early this year Ace purchased a new depreciable asset, the effect on Andrews's financial statements would be (all other items remaining equal):
Answer:
Increase Net Cash from operations
Explanation:
Note that the purchase of another depreciable asset means that annual depreciation expense would increase( increase on the old asset which is $1,469,867 plus the depreciation on newly acquired asset), hence, assuming that net income remains the same as last year(the meaning of all other items remaining equal), when the amount of increased depreciation is added back to the net income in the cash flow statement, the amount of net cash flow from operations would increase compared to last year.
In essence, the correct option in this case is that there would be an increase in net cash from operations not just an increase in amount of asset in the balance sheet

Leahy Corp. sells $300,000 of bonds to private investors. The bonds are due in five years, have a 6% coupon rate, and interest is paid semiannually. The bonds were sold to yield 4%. Group of answer choices The bonds were sold at a discount, with annual interest expenses more than $18,000 The bonds were sold at a discount, with annual interest expenses less than $18,000 The bonds were sold at a premium, with annual interest expenses more than $18,000 The bonds were sold at a premium, with annual interest expenses less than $18,000 The bonds were sold at par, with annual interest expenses equal to $18,000
Answer:
The bonds were sold at a premium, with annual interest expenses less than $18,000
Explanation:
r = 4% per annum = 4%*6/12 = 2%
n = 5 years * 2 = 10
Present value of annuity factor = [1 - (1+r)^(-n)] / r
Present value of annuity = [1 - (1.02)^(-10)] / 0.02
Present value of annuity = 8.982585
Interest payment = $300,000*6%*6/12
Interest payment = $9,000
Present value factor = 1/(1+r)^n
Present value factor = 1 / (1.02)^10
Present value factor = 0.8203483
Face value = $300,000
Selling value of bond = [8.982585*9000] + [0.8203483*300,000]
Selling value of = 80,843.265 + 246,104.49
Selling value of = 326,948. (Amount that bond are sold for is greater than 300,000 i.e at a premium).
Coupon rate payment = $300,000*6%
Coupon rate payment = $18,000

The Omega started the year with $650,000 in the common stock account and $1,318,407 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The end-of-year balance sheet showed $720,000 and $1,299,310 in the same two accounts, respectively. What is the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends
Answer:
$17,597
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cash flow to stockholders
Using this formula
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - Common stock issued
Let plug in the formula
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (1299,310+ 720,000)- (1318407+ 650000)
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (2,019,310-1,968,407)
Cash flow to stockholders= 68,500-50,903
Cash flow to stockholders= $17,597
Therefore the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends is $17,597

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Finished goods inventory, April 1$32,600
Finished goods inventory, April 30 26,600
Total cost of goods manufactured 123,800
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 32,600 + 123,800 - 26,600
COGS= $129,800

By representing the budget and schedule associated with each task, the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) allows program managers to ___________________. Reduce overall life cycle costs Complete projects on time Compare the value of work performed to actual costs Complete comparative analyses more efficiently
Answer:
Option C (Compare......actual costs) is the correct alternative.
Explanation:
The benchmark establishing performance measurements takes place just at beginning of the assignment to monitor the construction process.Three restrictions exist, notably timeframe, scope as well as money. Benchmark employee performance simply monitors the implementation with these restrictions. This enables system management to identify discrepancies promptly.The situation presented is not connected to other alternatives. This is the solution, therefore.
An increase in the price of rubber coincides with an advance in the technology of tire production. As a result of these two events,a. the demand for tires decreases and the supply of tires increases.b. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires decreases.c. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires increases.d. None of the above is necessarily correct. What should be the demand and supply?
Answer:
d
the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tires could increase, decrease, or stay the same.
Explanation:
An increase in the price of rubber would lead to an increase in the cost of producing tires. Rubber is an input required in the production of tires.
As a result of the increase in the cost of rubber, the supply of rubber would decrease. This would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve. Equilibrium price would increase and quantity would decrease
As a result of the advance in technology, there would be an increase in the supply of tires. As a result, the supply curve shifts outward. Equilibrium price would decrease and quantity would increase
Taking these wo effects together, the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tire is indeterminate
Suppose you invest every quarter, for 20 years, in an annuity that pays 5% interest, compounded quarterly. At the end of the 20 years, you have $100,000. How much of this total is interest
Answer: $41,228
Explanation:
The first step is to determine the amount that was being invested, in other words, the annuity.
First find the future value of annuity factor:
= 1 * Future value of annuity formula
= 1 * ( ( 1 + rate)^ number of periods) - 1) / rate
Rate = 5% / 4 = 1.25%
Number of periods = 20 * 4 quarters = 80 quarters
Annuity factor = 1 * ( ( 1 + 1.25%) ⁸⁰ - 1) / 1.25%
= 136.118795
The annuity is:
Future value of annuity = Annuity * Future value of annuity factor, 80 years, 1.25%
100,000 = Annuity * 136.118795
Annuity = 100,000 / 136.118795
= $734.65
The interest is:
= Future value of annuity - (Annuity * number of periods)
= 100,000 - (734.65 * 80)
= $41,228

According to him, an introversion dimension of the human mind is energized by the inner thoughts and ideas, his or her interest. An introversion mind always thinks before speaking.
Introversion mainly deals with the personality where one's thought and ideas provides them confidence of themselves.
Therefore, the correct option is (A).
1) Suppose that South Pangean debt is $100 million and the interest rate it pays on that debt is 4 percent. That means its interest payments must be $___million.
2) If South Pangean expenditures are $30 million without interest payments, that means its expenditures with interest payments are $___million.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The interest payment is
= 4% of $100 million
= $4 million
b. The interest expense without interest payment is
= Expenditures incurred without interest payment + interest payment
= $30 million + $4 million
= $34 million
The same should be considered and relevant
