Electricity is produced with water according to the
function:
E = 5 + 5W-1W²
where E = kilowatt-hour and W = gallons of water.
Water costs $0.02 per gallon. Electricity can be sold

You are considering getting a Little Nero Caesar Salad Franchise, because your boss (the owner of a Down Under Sandwich Shoppe) seems to be making it big. The Down Under Shoppe grosses an average of $380,000 sales annually. You estimate that your business will gross an average of 95% of Down Under’s sales. You must borrow $320,000 from the bank. The bank will charge you 12% per annum interest on this loan. You also will invest $50,000 of your savings in the business (thus you will no longer receive the 4% per annum interest from this). NOTE: neither the bank loan principal nor the $50,000 of your savings you invest is an explicit or implicit cost. However, the interest paid on the bank loan is explicit and the interest foregone on your savings is implicit. Other estimated explicit expenses are: labor $130,000 per year; rent $12,000 a year; utilities $4,000 a year; and salad ingredients $140,000 a year. An explicit expense you will have to pay Little Nero, Inc., is a franchise…

- Cindy and Steven are recently married and are both chefs. They have recently graduated from culinary school and are making a starting salary of $15.00 as a sous-chef. They both work 10 hour days, six days a week. Because they are chefs at a mid- level restaurant they live in the downtown core where it is located. The rent on their one bedroom apartment is $1125/month. This includes all utilities. However, they pay an additional $75 for cable and internet. Their joint cell phone bill is $60.00 and they opt not to have a landline to save money. Because they live downtown they have also chosen not to buy a car and spend about $200 a month on public transportation. They eat most meals for free at the restaurant where they work so their grocer bill is only about $200 a month.

Sales are currently 150 units per year at the yuan equivalent of $24,000 each. The yuan currently trades at 6.35 yuan per dollar, but you predict it will fall to 7 yuan per dollar soon and stay there the entire year. Assume direct unit costs are 75% of the original US sales price in either scenario. Calculate gross profits in dollars if you raise the yuan price to offset the devaluation (keeping the dollar price the same) and suffer a 15% drop in volume.arrow_forwardohn invested $12,000 in the stock of Hyper Cyber Eight years later, Hyper Cyber's shares reached S125,000, but John held onto the shares in the belief that their price would double in the next five years.

If the shares were sold and the proceeds invested in another investment, they would likely ean 5% per annum.
