Answer:
a. The marginal cost of producing the 25^th item is $100.
b. This means that the cost of production increase by about $100; when we add one unit to a production level of 25 units.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The cost to produce q items is C(q) = 1000 + 2q^2 dollars. Find the marginal cost of producing the 25th item. Interpret your answer in terms of costs.
The marginal cost of producing the 25^th item is $_______.
This means that the cost of production _____ by about ________; when we add one unit to a production level of _____ units.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a. Find the marginal cost of producing the 25th item.
Given:
C(q) = 1000+2q^2 …………… (1)
Taking the derivative of equation (1) with respect q to obtain the marginal cost function as follows:
MC(q) = C’(q)= 4q ………………….. (2)
Substituting q = 25 into equation (2), we obtain the marginal cost (MC) of producing the 25th item as follows:
MC(25) = 4 * 25 = $100
Therefore, the marginal cost of producing the 25^th item is $100.
b. Interpret your answer in terms of costs.
This means that the cost of production increase by about $100; when we add one unit to a production level of 25 units.
A consumer has $180 in monthly income to spend on two goods, D and G, where D is on the y-axis. The price of good D, PD is $6, and the marginal rate of transformation is -2. How many units of good G can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G
Answer:
The number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.
Explanation:
Since D is on the y-axis, indicating G is on the x-axis, the formula for calculating the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) is given as follows:
MRT = - PG / PD …………………. (1)
Where:
MRT = Marginal rate of transformation = -2
PG = Price of good G = ?
PD = Price of good D = $6
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for PG, we have:
-2 = - PG / $6
PG = -2 * (-6) = $12
Therefore, we have:
Number units of good G if all income is spent on it = Monthly income / PG = $180 / $12 = 15
Therefore, the number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.

= ($440,000 - $140,000 ) ÷ $200,000
= 1.5
Which theory would most likely explain why a commercial bank, which usually focuses on short-term securities, would switch to long-term securities due to a change in interest rates. pure expectation liquidity premium segmented market preferred habitat
Answer:
preferred habitat
Explanation:
According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.
In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes
The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate
Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium
According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.
If the best operating level of a process X is 1026 bottles per day and the actual output during a day is 786 bottles, then what is the capacity utilization rate for process X
Answer:
greater than 70% but less than or equal to 90%
Explanation:
The computation of the capacity utilization rate for process X is shown below:
As we know that
Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output ÷ Design Capacity) × 100
= (786 ÷ 1026) × 100
= 76.61%
So, it is greater than 70% but less than or equal to 90%

Explanation:
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with four years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 6%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:_________.
a.) $841,635.85
b.) $715,390.47
c.) $530,230.59
d.) $1,009,963.02
Answer:
a.) $841,635.85
Explanation:
The value of the Treasury note is the present value of its future cash flows, its semiannual coupon payments and the face value receivable by the investors in the T-note at maturity.
Semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value=$1,000,000
coupon rate=6%
semiannual coupon=$1,000,000*6%*6/12
semiannual coupon=$30,000( there would 8 semiannual coupons in 4 years)
The present value of the cash flows can be determined using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=8(semiannual coupons)
PMT=30000(amount of each semiannual coupon)
I/Y=5.50%(semiannual yield to maturity=11.00%*6/12)
FV=1000000(the face value of T-note)

Last month, the Tecumseh Corporation supplied 400 units of three-ring binders at $6 per unit. This month, the company supplied the same quantity of binders at $4 per unit. Based on this evidence, Tecumseh has experienced:_________.
a. a decrease in supply
b. an increase in supply
c. an increase in the quantity supplied
d. a decrease in the quantity supplied.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied
in this question, there was only a change in price but no change in the quantity supplied.
so a change in supply and not a change in the quantity supply occured
determine supply per price
400 / 6 = 67
400 / 4 = 100
supply increased
An outside supplier offers to provide Epsilon with all the units it needs at $63.05 per unit. If Epsilon buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 35% of its overhead. Epsilon should choose to:
Answer:
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $59.05
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Epsilon should choose to:
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + [41*(100%-35%)]
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + (41*65%)
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + 26.65
Relevant costs to make =$59.05
Therefore Epsilon should choose to: MAKE SINCE THE RELEVANT COST TO MAKE IT IS $59.05

Consider single-server Q with LIFO (last-infirst-out) services. Suppose that three customers show up at times 5, 6, and 8, and that they all have service times of 4. When does customer 2 leave the system?
a. 3
b. 9
c. 13
d. 17
e. 19a
Answer:
d. 17
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Here the time started i.e. t=0
Therefore there was no customer upto t=5 hour
At t=5
The client first came and as there was no other customer available so we begins service to customer 1
Now
As service off is 4 hour so service to client 1 will end at
t=9 hour.
Also mid-time at t = 6
That means the client 2 came and at t = 8 the client 3 came.
Now at t = 9 the service begins for client 3 and end at t = 13 ( 9 + 4)
At t=13 hour, so after four hours it should be 17

a. $27,000
b. $32,000
c. $34,800
d. $37,400
Answer:
Billed costs= $32,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total estimated cost attorney= 12*100,000= $1,200,000
Total estimated cost paraprofessional= 5*30,000= $150,000
Estimated Indirect costs= $250,000
Estimated number of hours= 50,000
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate:
Allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Allocation rate= (1,200,000 + 150,000 + 250,000) / 50,000
Allocation rate= 1,600,000/50,000
Allocation rate= $32
Now, for 1,000 hours:
Billed costs= 1,000*32= $32,000

Hi guys, I need your help to give your opinions about this one.
Example:
The experts on your island warn of a possible tsunami, but opinions are divided.
a. A quarter of the experts (group A) assume that a tsunami will certainly come.
b. Three quarters of the experts (group B) assume that the tsunami will come with a 10 percent probability.
Which professionals (group A or group B) would you like to believe more and why? Give reasons for your answer. And what are the consequences of this decision for your actions? And how do you deal with the risks of a wrong decision?
I would believe group A more
because, as we know "Precaution is always better an cure"
If I stay more cautious about it, there are less chances of the tsunami to cause a severe harm. If I don't stay much cautious, according to group B, and in case if their prediction goes wrong, I'll be in serious danger.
I chose group A because
even if the tsunami ain't powerful enough, I would be glad I was careful enough for it and it'll help me in future if I face another situation like this again
The consequences if I chose group B would be :
well, if I would have chose B, I won't have taken any Precautions at all
I won't have been careful enough
and in case their prediction went wrong, I would have to suffer high losses.
I hope it helps.... Have a great time ahead!
Consider the following stock price and shares outstanding data: Stock Name Price per Share Shares Outstanding (Billion) Lowes $28.80 1.53 Wal-Mart $47.90 4.17 Intel $19.60 5.77 Boeing $75.00 0.79 If you are interested in creatinga value-weighted portfolio of these four stocks, then the percentage amount that you would invest in Lowes is closest to: A) 25% B) 11% C) 20.0% D) 12% E) 8%
Answer:
B) 11%
Explanation:
We need to determine the total amount to invest in all the stocks in the first place as computed below:
Lowes= $28.80*1.53=$44.06
Wal-Mart=$47.90*4.17=$199.74
Intel=$19.60*5.77 =$113.09
Boeing=$75.00*0.79=$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$44.06+$199.74+$113.09+$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=amount invested in Lowes/total portfolio amount
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=$44.06/$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=11%
You sell one December futures contracts when the futures price is $1,010 per unit. Each contract is on 100 units and the initial margin per contract that you provide is $2,000. The maintenance margin per contract is $1,500. During the next day the futures price falls to $1,008 per unit. What is the balance of your margin account at the end of the day? a. $3,700b. $1,800c. $2,200d. $1,500
Answer:
b. $1800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the balance of your margin account at the end of the day
Margin account balance=$2,000-[100*($1008-$1010)]
Margin account balance=$2,000-(100*$2)
Margin account balance=$2,000-$200
Margin account balance=$1,800
Therefore the balance of your margin account at the end of the day is $1,800

Ramble On Co. wishes to maintain a growth rate of 13.6 percent per year, a debt-equity ratio of 1.8, and a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent. The ratio of total assets to sales is constant at .98. What profit margin must the firm achieve
Answer: 5.99%
Explanation:
Based on the question,
Dividend payout ratio = 30%
Therefore, the retention ratio will be:
= 1 - 30%
= 70%
Growth rate = 13.6%
We'll the use the sustainable growth rate formula which will be:
0.136 = (ROE x 0.7)/ (1-(ROE x 0.7))
0.136(1 - (0.7ROE)) = 0.7ROE
ROE = 0.136/0.7952
ROE = 0.171026
Then, the Profit margin will be:
ROE = Profit Margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x (1 + 1.8)
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x 2.8
PM = 0.171026 x 0.98/2.8
PM = 0.0598591
Profit margin = 5.99%

An investment opportunity requires a payment of $910 for 12 years, starting a year from today. If your required rate of return is 6.5 percent, what is the value of the investment to you today
Answer:
PV= $7,424.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $910
Number of periods (n)= 12 years
Rate of return (i)= 6.5%
To calculate the value of the investment today (PV), we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 910*{(1/0.065) - 1/ [0.065*(1.065^12)]}
PV= $7,424.44

The company is considering raising the selling price to $7.00 per bottle which is expected to decrease sales by 20%. If the price is raised, the number of units that must be sold to keep the profits unchanged is
Answer:
131,250= number of units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We need to calculate the number of units to be sold to maintain a profit of $175,000.
Unitary variable cost= $3
Fixed expenses= $350,000
Selling price= $7
Net income= total contribution margin - fixed cost
175,000= number of units*(7 - 3) - 350,000
525,000 = number of units*4
525,000 / 4= number of units
131,250= number of units
