Suppose life expectancy in years (L) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (H) and nutrition expenditures (N) in hundreds of dollars per year. The production function is Upper L equals cH Superscript 0.80 Baseline Upper N Superscript 0.20L=cH0.80N0.20. Beginning with c = 1, a health input of $300300 per year (Hequals=33) and a nutrition input of $500500 per year (Nequals=55), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. The marginal product of health expenditures when H goes from 33 to 44 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when H goes from 55 to 66 is nothing. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) The marginal product of nutrition expenditures when N goes from 55 to 66 is nothing, and the marginal product of nutrition when N goes from 77 to 88 is nothing. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine

Ardmore farm and seed has an inventory dilemma. they have been selling a brand of very popular insect spray for the past year. they have never really analyzed the costs incurred from ordering and holding the inventory and currently fave a large stock of the insecticide in the warehouse. they estimate that it costs $25 to place an order, and it costs $0.25 per gallon to hold the spray. the annual requirements total 80,000 gallons for a 365 day year.a. assuming that 10,000 gallons are ordered each time an order is placed, estimate the annual inventory costs.b. calculate the eoq.c. given the eoq calculated in part b., how many orders should be placed and what is the average inventory balance? d. if it takes seven days to receive an order from suppliers, at what inventory level should ardmore place another order?
