13. What mistake might a business make if it confuses marginal cost and average cost?

14. How does adverse selection explain why it might be difficult to change the Affordable Care Act?

1) How many people were present for the signing of the Declaration of Independence?

1. Write a function that inputs a list of numbers and a percentile value from 0 to 1 and have the function return the element that is at that percentile (or greater than). You can use this website for the steps https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/how-to-calculate-percentile check out the step for “Follow these steps to calculate the kth percentile”

def percentileReturn(list1,percentile):#function which returns the list of elements which are greater than or equal to the percentile
list2=[i for i in list1 if i>=percentile] #creating list2 which have elements from list1 which are greater than or equal to percentile
return list2 #returning list2
values=list(map(float,input("Enter numbers: ").split())) #values
percentile=float(input("Enter percentile: ")) #percentile
print(percentileReturn(values,percentile)) #calling percentileReturn function and testing for a sample value

This is what I put and my prof said: I get an error.     values=list(map(float,input("Enter numbers: ").split())) #values

ValueError: could not convert string to float: '1,2,3,4'

On January 1, 2018, the Mason Manufacturing Company began construction of a building to be used as its office headquarters. The building was completed on September 30, 2019. Expenditures on the project were as follows: January 1, 2018 $ 1,310,000 March 1, 2018 1,020,000 June 30, 2018 1,220,000 October 1, 2018 1,020,000 January 31, 2019 333,000 April 30, 2019 666,000 August 31, 2019 963,000 On January 1, 2018, the company obtained a $3,700,000 construction loan with a 12% interest rate. The loan was outstanding all of 2018 and 2019. The company’s other interest-bearing debt included two long-term notes of $3,000,000 and $7,000,000 with interest rates of 8% and 10%, respectively. Both notes were outstanding during all of 2018 and 2019. Interest is paid annually on all debt. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. Required: 1. Calculate the amount of interest that Mason should capitalize in 2018 and 2019 using the specific interest method. 2. What is the total cost of the building? 3. Calculate the amount of interest expense that will appear in the 2018 and 2019 income statements.

Identifying Relevant Costs and Revenues
The Village of Bomont operates a power plant on a river that flows through town. The village uses some of this generated electricity to operate a water treatment plant and sells the excess electricity to a local utility. The city council is evaluating two alternative proposals:

• Proposal A calls for replacing the generators used in the plant with more efficient generators that will produce more electricity and have lower operating costs. The salvage value of the old generators is higher than their removal cost.

• Proposal B calls for raising the level of the dam to retain more water for generating power and increasing the force of water flowing through the dam. This will significantly increase the amount of electricity generated by the plant. Operating costs will not be affected.

Required
Presented are a number of cost and revenue items. Indicate in the appropriate columns whether each item is relevant or irrelevant to proposals A and B.

9. Tom got a 30 year fully amortizing FRM for $500,000 at 8%, with constant monthly payments. After 3 years of payments rates fall and he can get a 27 year FRM at 5%, but he must pay 7 points and $20000 in closing costs to get the new loan. Think of the refinancing decision as an investment for Tom, he pays a fee now but saves money in the future in the form of lower payments. what is the IRR of refinancing for Tom assuming he prepays the new loan 5 years after refinancing? (Clarification: Tom will prepay the new loan 3+5=8 years after the house is purchased)

1. explain a process for using self-management to enhance the career readiness competency of self-motivation.

Emmitt’s direct material cost is $9 per unit. The direct labor rate is $16 per hour and each units takes 1/4 hour to produce. Variable manufacturing overhead is $1 per unit and total budgeted fixed overhead is $7,800. A sales commission of $6 is paid on each unit. If Emmitt expects to produce 2,800 units and sell 1,160 units, what is the budget cost of goods sold per unit? Round your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places

Write a program that lets the user enter the loan amount, number of years, and interest rate and displays the amortization schedule for the loan.

Steps: 1) Create scanner

2) Prompt the user to enter loan amount and declare double variable and relate to scanner input

3) Prompt the user to enter number of years and declare integer years and relate to scanner input

4) Prompt the user to enter annual interest rate and declare double variable and relate to scanner input

5) Calculate monthly interest rate: first create a double variable called monthlyRate which is equal to annualRate divided by 1200

6) Calculate monthly payement: first create double variable called monthlyPayement which is equal to loanAmount times monthlyRate divied by (1 - 1 / Math.pow(1 + monthlyRate, years * 12));

7) Display in console monthlyPayement

8) Display in console total amount with formula inside of prompt (monthlyPayement*12) * years);

9) Create so called amortization schedule: first create double variable called balance which is equal to loanAmount, principal, interest;

10) System.out.println ("Payment# Interest Principal Balance"); for (int i = 1; i <= years * 12; i++) { interest = monthlyRate * balance; principal = monthlyPayment - interest; balance = balance - principal; System.out.printf("%-13d%-13.2f%-13.2f%.2f\n", i, interest, principal, balance); }

A concern is sometimes raised that, by focusing on issues such as culture, companies may lose sight of “the bottom line.” How might failure to pay attention to organizational culture and related issues harm a firm’s financial performance?

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.38 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 3-year tax life, after which it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $1,760,000 in annual sales, with costs of $670,000. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required return is 11 percent. What is the project’s NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
