You are the manager of a large​ crude-oil refinery. As part of the refining​ process, a certain heat exchanger​ (operated at high temperatures and with abrasive material flowing through​ it) must be replaced every year. The replacement and downtime cost in the first year is ​$175 comma 000175,000. This cost is expected to increase due to inflation at a rate of 77​% per year for sixsix years​ (i.e. until the EOY 77​), at which time this particular heat exchanger will no longer be needed. If the​ company's cost of capital is 1515​% per​ year, how much could you afford to spend for a higher quality heat exchanger so that these annual replacement and downtime costs could be​ eliminated?

Answer:

realized loss = -20.31%

Explanation:

stock price ¥3,150, total operation ¥315,000

in US dollars = ¥315,000 x $0.00952 = $2,998.80

current market price ¥3,465, total operation ¥346,500

in US dollars = ¥346,500 / ¥145 = $2,389.66

realized loss = (current value in US dollars - initial investment) / initial investment = ($2,389.66 - $2,998.80) / $2,998.80 = -20.31%

Even though the stock price increased significantly (10%), the yen depreciated against the dollar even more (-38%)

Answer: b. provide specifics if further action is required.

Explanation:

In a response message, one must be cordial and seek to promote GOODWILL with a customer. This can be done by simply referring to any provided information, providing specifics if any further action is required and including the sender's full contact information. Naturally there must also be a tone indicating a willingness to help but not with such cliché phrases such as, " Call me if you need any help". Such responses do not fit well in well written conclusions.

Answer:

Primary data

Explanation:

Since the available secondary data are not sufficient for the marketing research study, Chun Hei must collect primary data.

Primary data unlike secondary data are data that were not in existence beforehand. Such a data can not be found in any journals, books, websites or data sites. To get primary data a researcher has to go into the field and they can collect these data through questionnaires, surveys or interviews. Chun Hei will get the information she needs from first hand sources.

Answer:

Option "B" and "D" are correct answer

• Increase in firm's profit; financial
• growth of capital resources; human

Explanation:

• Capital accumulation relates to an investment or profit increase in assets and is one of the building blocks of a capitalist economy.

• The goal is to increase the value of an initial cost, whether it is through appreciation, lease, investment income, or interest, as a return on investment.

• Profit margin tests a firm's productivity by measuring its net income by overall sales. Organizations may grow their net profit margin by increasing profits, e.g. by providing additional goods or by raising prices.

Answer: = $168

Explanation:

Destin Company had a $1,000 income in 2014 but also a temporary difference of $160.

This means that they were taxed on the income less the temporary difference.

= 1,000 - 160

= $840

Tax Expense = 840 * 20%

= $168

Answer:

$2960 yearly savings

Explanation:

From the values given and from mathematical manipulation, he or she needs a contribution of at least $2900 every year in order to achieve his goal of $50,000.

                     EXPLANATION

• If the child is 5yr old now, in 13years time, she will be 18yr old.

• $2950 target yearly

• for the next 13years, it would have amount to $38350

• remember the bank will give an annual interest rate of 2%

• so for 13years, that's 26% = 0.26

• In the 13th year, he would have saved $38350, add the 26% interest for the duration of 13years = 26% x $38350 + $38350 = $48321

• His savings will fall between $2950 - $2960 yearly.

Final answer:

You will need to contribute approximately $2,615.97 each year to your college fund to achieve your goal of $50,000 in 13 years, starting with $5,000 and earning 2% interest compounded annually.

Explanation:

To calculate how much you need to contribute every year to have $50,000 in a college fund for your daughter in 13 years with an existing $5,000 at a 2% annual interest rate, we need to use the future value of an annuity formula:

The future value of an annuity formula is FV = P × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r}, where:

• FV is the future value of the annuity (the amount we want to have in the future, which is $50,000).
• P is the annual payment (the amount you will contribute every year).
• r is the annual interest rate (which is 2%, or 0.02).
• n is the number of years the money is deposited (13 years).

Since you already have $5,000, we first need to find out how much this amount will grow to in 13 years at an annual interest rate of 2%. That's calculated using the compound interest formula:$5,000(1 + 0.02)^{13} = $6,727.09

Now, subtract this future value of your initial savings from the goal:$50,000 - $6,727.09 = $43,272.91

This is the amount that needs to be reached with the annual contributions. Plugging this back into the future value of an annuity formula, we solve for P:$43,272.91 = P × {[(1 + 0.02)^{13} - 1] / 0.02}We can now solve for P, which is the annual contribution required:P = $43,272.91 / {[(1 + 0.02)^{13} - 1] / 0.02} = $2,615.97

Therefore, you'd need to contribute approximately $2,615.97 each year to reach your $50,000 college fund goal in 13 years, assuming a 2% annual rate.
