JRT Motors Inc. has been shipping its Suzuki engines in containers to avoid the necessary crating of the engines. JRT Motors Inc. will pay freight on container load of 40 tons, regardless of whether or not the container is completely filled with engines. Record shows that due to engine size, JRT Motors Inc. has shipped only 30 tons per container. Freight of container cost $3.00 per kilograms. If the engines are created so that they can be shipped at the rate of $3.50 per hundred kilograms with the freight bill computed only on the actual weight shipped. The cost of crating would be $50 per engine and would increase the shipping weight from 1500 kg to 1520 kg per engine. How much more economical shipping the engine in crates than in containers? Should JRT Motors Inc. ship the engines in crates or in containers?
Seven years ago, you started a crosstown delivery service. The service is an environmentally friendly business and, given all the traffic congestion, you are also the fastest service in the city since your entire crew are bicyclists. You have two types of
service. You have a small parcel service for anything that is flat and measures less than 11x17. You have a package service using a 100 lb. capacity bike trailer for anything weighing up to 10 Ibs. As a way to introduce the new package service when
you implemented the small package service, you charged the same price for packages as parcels. You are now wondering if you should charge different prices for the parcel and package service.
Complete the table below for the parcels market.

Kindly provide a CLEAR and COMPLETE answer.A man purchased a house for P425,000. In the first month that he owned the house, he spent P75,000 on repairs and remodeling. Immediately after, the house was remodeled, he was offered P545,000 to sell the house. After some consideration, he decided to keep the house and have it rented for P4,500 per month starting two months after the purchase. He collected rent for 15 months and then sold the house for P600,000. If the interest rate was 1.5% per month, how much extra money did he make or lose by selling the house immediately after it was remodeled?

- H2arrow_forwardYour FICO score makes a big difference in how lenders determine what interest rate to charge you. Consider the situation faced by Edward and Jorge. Edward has a fairly poor FICO score of 660 and, as a result, pays 19.0% APR on the unpaid balance of his credit card. Jorge has a FICO score of 740 and pays only 7.0% APR on the unpaid balance of his credit card. If both persons carry an average balance of $2,500 on their credit cards for three years, how much more money will Edward repay compared with what Jorge owes (moral: you want a high FICO score)?

However, as a special offer, vendor A said Filerbee won’t have to pay until the warranty runs out. If the equipmenthas a 2-year warranty, determine which offer is better.

- On the advice of your uncle, you purchased 10 shares of a well-established U.S.-based corporate stock for $21.5 per share. After 1 quarter, you received $0.25 per share dividends each quarter for 2 years. At that point, the stock price had gone down in a short-term recession, so you purchased 10 more shares at $15 per share. The stock continued to pay 25¢ a share on all 20 shares. After 3 years (12 quarters), you decided to sell the stock since it had increased in market value to $24.5 per share. Make the following assumptions: (a) no commissions for the purchase or sale of the stock, (b) no government taxes on the dividends, and (c) quarterly compounding of the rate of return.
