Assume you are to receive a 10-year annuity with annual payments of $800. The first payment will be received at the end of Year 1, and the last payment will be received at the end of Year 10. You will invest each payment in an account that pays 7 percent compounded annually. Although the annuity payments stop at the end of year 10, you will not withdraw any money from the account until 20 years from today, and the account will continue to earn 7% for the entire 20-year period. What will be the value in your account at the end of Year 20 (rounded to the nearest dollar)

Which one of the following statements is correct? process costing systems use periodic inventory systems. process costing systems assign costs to departments or processes for a time period. companies that produce many different products or services are more likely to use process costing systems. production is continuous when a job-order costing is used to ensure that adequate quantities are on hand.

Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. in this case, the country that produces jeans will produce million pairs per week, and the country that produces corn will produce million bushels per week.

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
