Jenny Tanaka wants to buy a new car, and the annual gasoline expense is a major consideration. Her present car gets 25 miles per gallon (mpg), and she is considering purchasing a new car that gets 40 mpg. Jenny now drives about 12,000 miles per year and pays $3.25 per gallon of gasoline. She therefore calculates an annual gasoline consumption of 480 gallons for her 25 mpg car (12,000 miles/25 mpg) compared to 300 gallons consumed per year for the 40 mpg car (12,000 miles/40 mpg). Since driving the higher- mileage car would use 180 gallons less per year, Jenny estimates the new car will save her $585 in gasoline expense per year (180 gallons 3 $3.25 per gallon). Suppose Jenny buys the 40 mpg car. According to economic theory, Jenny's actual annual savings on gasoline will be 7 1 C 1 U C VI 10 V K W S TACAZEC 10 GUNS TOMBER 2 than her initial estimate of $585.

ECONOMICS UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE WRITE THE SOLUTIONS LEGIBLY. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. A company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products, and the engineering department has developed these data: Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed price of Php 425 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory. Cost estimates are direct materials = Php 250 per item and direct labor = Php 75 per item. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at 200% of direct labor (= Php 150 per item). Based on these data, should the item be purchased or manufactured?

Please show how to solve this You consider buying a lot on which you will build a small apartment complex. The asking price for the lot is $2,000,000 and the estimated cost to build the apartment complex is $5,000,000 (construction should take one year). One year from the date you intend to purchase the lot the city is going to make an important decision regarding the use of the land just across from your lot. You believe that there is a 35% chance that the decision would be favorable to you and a 65% chance that it would be unfavorable. In case of a favorable or unfavorable outcome your complex should generate an NOI of $400,000 or $300,000 respectively. For simplicity, you may assume that at any time you can sell your complex for a 5% CAP and your required rate of return is 8%. a. Calculate the value of the lot using the traditional approach.b. Calculate the value of the lot using the real option approach.c. Should you buy the lot?d. In case that you decided to buy the lot, should…

Q. On the first day of the New Year to get her business started, the owner/photographer of Exquisite Portraits Inc. paid $200 for business cards, $1000 for a listing in Yellow Pages, and $250 for an annual business license. She also leased a professional portrait camera and studio lighting equipment by signing an agreement to pay a monthly lease of $1000 each month for the next 12 months.

Question 10OXAGON is an industrial city that will be built in NEOM. One of the factories interested to join there has been producing a dependable product used by farmers, municipalities, and suburbanites alike to control grass in fields and gardens. Contributions to NEOM revenue have been minimized by international dumping of generic glyphosate, as announced in mid-2021 due to Pandemic of COVID-19. The factory sales price was decreased from $4,072 to $60,308 per gallon to compete with the highly competitive pricing, and it is expected that the international price will be around $6,968 per gallon. Assume when the price was set at $4,072 per gallon, there was a prediction that in 5 years the price would inflate to $9,853 per gallon. Determine the interest adjusted rate for inflation, if the inflation is 11% and the interest is 3% per year real return is expected by the factory_____
