Angie invested $250,000 she received from her grandmother today in a fund that is expected to earn 10% per annum. To what amount should the investment grow in five years if interest is compounded semi-annually
Answer:
After 5 years, the investment should grow to $407,223
Explanation:
the future value earned on a certain amount compounded semi-annually for a number of years is given by the formula:
[tex]FV = PV(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}\\Where:\\FV = Future\ value\ =\ ??\\PV = Present\ Value\ =\ $250,000\\r = Interest\ rate\ =\ 10\% =\ 0.1\\n = number\ of\ compounding\ per\ year\ = semiannually\ =\ 2\\t = number\ of\ years\ =\ 5[/tex]
[tex]FV = 250,000(1+ \frac{0.1}{2} )^{(2\times5)}\\FV\ = 250,000(1.05)^{10}\\FV\ = 250,000(1.62889)\\FV\ = \$407,223.65[/tex]
Therefore, after 5 years, the investment should grow to $407,223

A perfectly competitive small organic farm that produces 1,000 cauliflower heads in the short run has an ATC = $6 and AFC = $2. The market price is $3 per head and is equal to MC. In order to maximize profits (or minimize losses), this farm should:
Answer:
the firm should shut down, at least temporarily until the marginal revenue increases or definitely if the marginal revenue doesn't increase
Explanation:
if average total costs = $6 and average fixed costs = $2, then average variable costs = $6 - $2 = $4
since the average variable costs are higher than marginal revenue: $4 > $3, then the company is losing money (-$1) every time it sells its products.
For example, if the total cost of producing three units of output is $2,498 and the total cost of producing four units of output is $3,087, then the marginal cost of the fourth unit is
Answer:The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589
Explanation:The marginal cost of a good is defined as the cost of producing an additional one unit which increases the total cost of such good. Therefore we can say that;
Marginal cost=Total cost at 4 units - total cost at (4-1) units
=total cost of the 4 units - total cost of the three units
=3,087 -2,498
=$589
Also using the formulae;
Marginal cost = Change in cost / change in quantity
= 3,087 -2,498/4-3 =589/1= $589
The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589

The assessment of capital investment initiatives generally follows four techniques:
The back technique average rate. The system of repayment-period. The formula for net cash flows-value. The internal process of transfer.The other options have no relation to a particular circumstance. So the above alternative seems to be the appropriate one.

John takes $100 of currency from his wallet and deposits it into his checking account. If the bank adds the entire $100 to reserves, the money supply _____, but if the bank lends out some of the $100, the money supply _____.
Answer:
John takes $100 of currency from his wallet and deposits it into his checking account. If the bank adds the entire $100 to reserves, the money supply WILL NOT CHANGE, but if the bank lends out some of the $100, the money supply WILL INCREASE.
Explanation:
Any monetary injection to the banking system will increase the money supply only if the banking system (the whole set of banks) lends the money. The total effect is calculated by the increase in money x the money multiplier. The money multiplier = 1 / required reserves.
If the bank does not lend the money, then the money supply will not change.
Flash City Inc. manufactures small flash drives and is considering raising the price by 75 cents a unit for the coming year. With a 75−cent price increase, demand is expected to fall by 7,000 units. Current Projected Demand 78,000 units 71,000 units Selling price $8.50 $9.25 Incremental cost per unit $5.80 $5.80 Would you recommend the 75−cent price increase?
Answer:
Flash City Inc is a company manufacturing small flash drives
Current Situation:
Demand = 78,000 Units
Selling price per unit = $8.50
Cost per unit = $5.80
Operating Profit = 78,000 * ($8.50 – $5.80)
Operating Profit = 78,000 * $2.70
Operating Profit = $210,600
Projected Situation:
Demand = 71,000 Units
Selling price per unit = $9.25
Cost per unit = $5.80
Expected Operating Profit = 71,000 * (9.25 – 5.80)
Expected Operating Profit = 71,000 * 3.45
Expected Operating Profit = $244,950
Recommendation: If the selling price price per unit is increase by 0.75 cent, the Operating Profit to realize on manufacturing of the small flash drive will increase by $34,350 ($244,950 - $210,600) although such increment may have an effect of decrease in demand of the Flash drive in market due to increase in price.
Answer:
The $0.75 price increase will result in higher profits.
Explanation:
Current Demand Projected Demand
Units sold 78,000 units 71,000 units
Selling price $8.50 $9.25
Cost per unit $5.80 $5.80
Contribution margin $2.70 $3.45
Gross profit $210,600 $244,950
The price increase will result in gross profit increasing by $34,350. The decrease in the quantity demanded is offset by a larger increase in the contribution margin per unit.

The span of control for a manager: a. should never exceed 7 subordinates. b. varies somewhat from manager to manager, but most managers operate best with a span of control of about 9 employees. c. depends on a number of factors, and can vary from one manager, location and type of employees. d. is no longer a relevant issue in this day of computerized offices .
Answer:
c. depends on a number of factors, and can vary from one manager, location and type of employees.
Explanation:
A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of supervising and ensuring his subordinates (employees) are working effectively and efficiently with the organization's goals and objectives.
In Business management or human resource management, span of control can be defined as the number of subordinates or junior level staffs who are directly controlled by a superior (manager).
Basically, the span of control for a manager depends on a number of factors, and can vary from one manager, location and type of employees.
This ultimately implies that, span of control is directly proportional to the organizational structure and any other factor around them.
In light of the facts that many organizations do not pay incentives and many employees discount or take for granted the value of benefits, base wages and salaries are often ____________________________ of the compensation system in the eyes of employees.
Answer:
In light of the facts that many organizations do not pay incentives and many employees discount or take for granted the value of benefits, base wages and salaries are often the focus of the compensation system in the eyes of employees.
Explanation:
The scenario talks about the base wages and salaries which is significant portion of their salary. If the company doesn't pay incentives then the employee thinks that it doesn't matter how motivated he works because he will be paid base salary or wage. Hence the motivation factor gets affected by the compensation factor and employee thinks the only focus of compensation is their base wage or salary.

Swifty Corporation purchased a machine for $66000 on July 1, 2020. The company intends to depreciate it over 8 years using the double-declining balance method. Salvage value is $5100. Depreciation for 2020 to the closest dollar is
Answer:
Depreciation expense= $7,612.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $66,000
Salvage value= $5,100
Useful life= 8 years
First, we need to determine the depreciation expense for the whole year. We will use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(66,000 - 5,100) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $15,225
For 2020:
Depreciation expense= (15,225/12)*6= $7,612.5

Now, Mika is selling her house to Jun’s nephew, Cheong. As Mika writes up the contract, Jun tells her that if she doesn’t sell the house at a steeply discounted price, Jun will take the matter of the $5,000 to court. What is true about this situation?
Answer:
Jun's pressure and influence has invalidated Mika's consent.
Explanation:
By threatening Mika with prosecution if she doesn't set a discount for the sale of her house on the grounds of her debt to her, she has influenced Jun's consent or rather coerced it and therefore Mika's consent is invalidated in the agreement. Consent is free under law if contract and should be given under undue influence, duress or any other vitiating factor that will render the contract null and void such as the example above
