Your boss is the director of reporting for the AthensCounty Construction Agency (ACCA). It has beenhis job to track the cost of construction in AthensCounty. Twenty-five years ago he created the ACCACost Index to track these costs. Costs during the firstyear of the index were $12 per square foot of con-structed space (the index value was set at 100 forthat first year). This past year a survey of contractorsrevealed that costs were $90 per square foot. Whatindex number will your boss publish in his report forthis year
Answer:
Consider the equation as follows
Initial Price(Ct)/Final Price(Cf) = Initial Index(It)/Final Index(If)
Substitute $12 for Ct, $90 for Cf and 100 for If
$12/$90 = 100/If
If = 750
Therefore, the index number which will be published by the boss in his report is 750
Substitute $12 for Ct, 100 for It and 600 for If
$12/Cf = 100/600
Cf = $72
Therefore, the cost per square foot last year was $72
Choose a real or made up company abd desvribe at least 3 variable costs the company has.
Answer:
The three main variable costs of any company are:
Raw materials or components that are proportional to the number of units produced. For example, if you need 2 pounds of materials to produce 1 unit of good X and you produce 100 units, your total materials will be 200 pounds.
Direct labor which is proportional to the number of hours worked. For example, if you need 0.5 hours of labor to produce 1 unit of good X and you produce 100 units, your total direct labor will be 50 hours.
Sales commissions which are paid as a percentage of total sales closed by your salesforce. For example, each salesperson earns $10 per unit of good X sold, and 100 units are sold, the salesperson will earn $1,000.

A price change would have the largest income effect on a A) magazine. B) tablet computer. C) piece of clothing.
Answer: D. Car
Explanation:
The full options for this question includes a fourth option which is option D for Car.
Should this be the case then a car would present the largest income effect if there was a price change.
Goods that are more expensive will present larger income effects because a price change would affect their prices more and make them even more expensive which means that they would be taking more from income and in so doing causing a larger income effect.

You have just won the lottery. You have two payout options. First, you can agree to take 30 equal annual payments, with the first payment to be made today at Year 0 and the last payment to be made at Year 29. Alternatively, using an effective annual rate of 6.0 percent, the lottery is willing to convert the annual payments into an equivalent lump sum payment today of $7,295,360.51. You have no immediate need for this money and plan to simply invest and hold the money until Year 45, and believe that you can earn an effective annual rate of 9.75 percent over each of the next 45 years. Looking at your possible ending values at Year 45, you should be able to determine that you will be better off taking the lump sum value today rather than taking the yearly cash flows. Given this information, determine the difference in dollar values at Year 45 between the two options.
Answer:
The difference in dollar value between option 2 (taking yearly cash flows) and option 1 (taking a lump sump) is USD 490,959,268.96. Therefore, you are better off with taking yearly cash flows which you can invest in a rate of 9.75% to get a larger sum of money at Year 45
Explanation:
Solving this is relatively simply. All you have to do is calculate the dollar amount available to you 45 years later under each of the two options.
So, in option 1, you have 7,295,360.51 available today. Using the future value formula, i.e FV= PV x (1+r)^n.
Where PV is equal to 7,295,360.51
R is equal to 9.75%
N is equal to 45
You will have USD 480,010,302.91 at year 45.
Now the calculation for option 2 is slightly lengthier.
First we calculate the total value of the lottery. We have the present value, the interest rate and the number of periods. Again, we use the FV formula and calculate value at year 30 as 41,900,838.69. We used this calculation because that's how the lottery calculated the figure of 7.3 Mn as todays lump sum amount. All they did was discount the lottery amount 30 years at a rate of 6%. We used the same formula to derived the lottery sum that they used.
Now, we will get equal installments each year up till year 29 which means (just divide the lottery amount by 30 years) we will get USD 1,396,694.62 each year till year 29. For each year's cash flow, we will calculate the future value at year 45. The formula will remain the same. Only the number of periods will change. So for example, at year 0, we will use the number of periods in our FV formula as 45. Whereas at the last installment date i.e. year 29, we will use 16 as the number of periods left till year 45. Once we have values for all periods, simply sum them up which will produce a value of USD 970,969,571.87 which is the the sum available to us in option 2.
As we can see, simply subtract the sum in option 1 from option 2 which indicates that we are better off under option 1 by a whopping USD 490 Mn!

15. You have just purchased a car and taken out a $50,000 loan. The loan has a 5-year term with monthly payments and an APR of 6%. How much will you pay in interest, and how much will you pay in principal, during the first month and second month
Answer:
find answers below
Explanation:
First and foremost, we need to determine the payment on a monthly basis in order to proceed further as shown thus:
PV(loan amount)=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
loan amount=$50,000
the monthly payment is the unknown
r=monthly interest rate=6%/12=0.5%
n=number of monthly payments in 5 years=5*12=60
50,000=monthly payment*(1-(1+0.5%)^-60/0.5%
50,000=monthly payment*(1-(1.005 )^-60/0.005
50,000=monthly payment*(1-0.74137220 )/0.005
50,000=monthly payment*0.25862780 /0.005
monthly payment=50,000*0.005/0.25862780 =$966.64
first month:
amount paid $966.64
interest=0.5 %*$50,000=$250
principal paid=monthly payment-interest=$966.64-$250=$716.64
loan balance=$50,000-$716.64=$49,283.36
second month:
amount paid $966.64
interest =0.5%*$49,283.36=$246.42
principal paid=$966.64-$246.42 =$720.22

If in 2009 Luther has 10.2 million shares outstanding and these shares are trading at $16 per share, then what is Luther's Enterprise Value
Answer:
163.2 million
Explanation:
The enterprise value is calculated by first obtaining the market value of the equity which is done by multiplying the number of outstanding shares by the value that each individual share is currently trading at. Then you add all existing debt to the market value of the equity, and finally you subtract all liquid cash available. Since neither debt or cash is provided as values in this question we can assume there is none and simply calculate the market value of the equity as the Enterprise value...
10.2 * 16 = 163.2 million

4. Should fringe benefits provided by your employer (health care, dental, contributions to your retirement plan) be counted in GDP
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, it should be counted in the GDP. Mainly because the GDP revolves around measuring the total income earned and spend from products or services. When you work for an employer you are receiving income from that employer and benefits would also be considered part of your income. Even though these benefits are being paid by your employer they are still considered income, and you would still be paying for these services yourself if the employer was not paying them. Therefore, it would make sense that it is included as received income and counted towards the GDP.

What was the major financial difference between post-World War II borrowers and borrowers after 1970
Answer: Borrowers after 1970 had more debt due to lower paying jobs
Explanation:
After the second world war, the world underwent a period of economic growth especially in the United States. The government was spending massive amounts on the economy and companies were investing to take advantage of an economy with very high consumption.
This led to higher paying jobs for citizens who were able to borrow money knowing that they had the capacity to pay back.
This changed after 1970 because the jobs became less lucrative than before. People however kept borrowing even though they could not afford it as much leading to a general rise in consumer debt.
The Great Depression have an effect on the credit industry. The major financial difference between post-World War II borrowers and borrowers after 1970 is that;
Borrowers post WWII were known to have borrowed in the midst of prosperity. Financial institutions were known to also lent more money and borrowers paid it back. Borrowers after 1970 still borrow as their parents had done, but they did not have to postwar period's well paying jobs and as such did not all pay back.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, a lot of banks did folded up and there was a lot of robbing of millions of Americans people of their savings.
Savings in banks then were said to be never insured, and as a result of this, more people and businesses tried to withdraw their funds fast as banking crisis grew up.

You are thinking about investing in a mine that will produce $10,000 worth of ore in the first year. As the ore closest to the surface is removed it will become more difficult to extract the ore. Therefore, the value of the ore that you mine will decline at a rate of 8% per year forever. If the appropriate interest rate is 6%, then the value of this mining operation is closest to:
Answer:
$71,428.57
Explanation:
we can use the perpetuity formula to solve this question:
present value = future cash flow / (discount rate - g)
future cash flow = $10,000discount rate = 6%g = growth rate = -8%present value = $10,000 / (6% - - 8%) = $10,000 / 14% = $71,428.57
The value of the mining operation is closest to $71.429
The cash flow here = $10000
The decline rate of growth = -8% per year
The interest rate = 6%
The formula that is used to get the value of mining operation is given as:
[tex]Value of MiningOperation=\frac{CashFlow}{Rate-Growth}[/tex]
[tex]Value of mining = \frac{10000}{0.06-(-0.08)} \\\\= \frac{10000}{0.06+0.08} \\\\=\frac{10000}{0.14} \\\\= $71.428.6[/tex]
