Gemini inc.'s optimal cash transfer amount, using the baumol model, is $60,000. the firm's fixed cost per cash transfer of marketable securities to cash is $180, and the total cash needed for transactions annually is $960,000. on what opportunity cost of holding cash was this analysis based?

Acompany that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who produced an average of 79 carts per hour. workers receive $16 per hour, and machine coast was $49 per hour. with the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $11 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour. a) compute the multifactor productivity (mfp) (labor plus equipment) under the prior to buying the new equipment. the mfp (carts/$) = (round to 4 decimal places). b) compute the productivity changes between the prior to and after buying the new equipment. the productivity growth = % (round to 2 decimal places)

Cardinal company is considering a project that would require a $2,725,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years. at the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would be sold for its salvage value of $400,000. the company’s discount rate is 14%. the project would provide net operating income each year as follows: sales $2,867,000 variable expenses 1,125,000 contribution margin 1,742,000 fixed expenses: advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $706,000 depreciation 465,000 total fixed expenses 1,171,000 net operating income $571,000 1. which item(s) in the income statement shown above will not affect cash flows?
