Answer:
Argentine Bridge Across the Rio de la Plata
a. The project provides sufficient revenues to offset its costs.
b. Non-economic factors deciding the bridge construction include:
Social connections and enhancement of relationships
Reduction of travel time
Infrastructural development
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Reasons for constructing the bridge:
Connect northern Argentine coast to the southern coast of Uruguay
Reduce travel time from Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo by 10 hours
Improve the flow of manufactured goods between the two countries
Longest bridge in the world, spanning over 50 miles
Cost of the new bridge = $700 million
Annual maintenance cost = 800 million ($10m * 80 years)
Total cost of new bridge $1,500 million
Minimum required rate of return = 9% of $1,500 million ($135 million)
Estimated Revenue from the new bridge:
Vehicles using the bridge:
1st Year to 10th year = 550,000 each
Basic number of vehicles using the bridge = 5,500,000
Additional vehicles per year until tenth year = 50,000
Total additional vehicles = 450,000 (50,000 * 9)
Total number of vehicles using the bridge for the first 10 years = 5,950,000 (5,500,000 + 450,000)
Annual vehicular traffic from 11th year to 80th year = 1 million per year
Total from 11th to 80th year = 70 million ( 1 million * 70)
Overall vehicular traffic throughout the bridge's life = 75,950,000 (70,000,000 + 5,950,000)
Toll charge per vehicle = $90
Total revenue = $6,835,500,000 (75,950,000 * $90)
Den-Tex Company is evaluating a proposal to replace its HID (high intensity discharge) lighting with LED (light emitting diode) lighting throughout its warehouse. LED lighting consumes less power and lasts longer than HID lighting for similar performance. The following information was developed: HID watt hour consumption per fixture 500 watts per hr. LED watt hour consumption per fixture 300 watts per hr. Number of fixtures 700 Lifetime investment cost (in present value terms) to replace each HID fixture with LED $500 Operating hours per day 10 Operating days per year 300 Metered utility rate per kilowatt-hour (kwh)* $0.11
*Note: A kilowatt-hour is equal to 1,000 watts per hour.
a. Determine the investment cost for replacing the 700 fixtures.
$?
b. Determine the annual utility cost savings from employing the new energy solution.
$?
c. Evaluate the proposal using net present value, assuming a 15-year life and 8% minimum rate of return. (Click here to view Present Value of Ordinary Annuity.)
$?
Answer:
a. Investment cost of replacing one fixture = $500
Number of fixtures = 700
Investment cost of replacing 700 fixtures = $500 * 700
Investment cost of replacing 700 fixtures = $350,000
b. Total Hours annually = Operating hours per day 8 Operating days per year = 10 * 300 = 3000 hours
Utility cost per kilowatt hour = $0.11
Savings in consumption per hour per fixture = 500 watts - 300 watts = 0.2 kilowatt per hour
Annual Savings in utility cost = Savings in consumption per hour * Total Hours * Utility cost * Number of fixtures
Annual Savings in utility cost = 0.2 * 3000 * 0.11 * 700
Annual Savings in utility cost = $46,200
c. Net present Value = PV of Annual Savings - Initial Investment
When Annual Savings = $46,200, Initial Investment = $350,000, Cumulative discounting factor of 8% for 15 years = 8.5595
Net present Value = ($46,200 * 8.5595) - $350,000
Net present Value = $395,448.90 - $350,000
Net present Value = $45,448.90

Quartz Corporation is a relatively new firm. Quartz has experienced enough losses during its early years to provide it with at least eight years of tax loss carryforwards. Thus, Quartz’s effective tax rate is zero. Quartz plans to lease equipment from New Leasing Company. The term of the lease is four years. The purchase cost of the equipment is $970,000. New Leasing Company is in the 30 percent tax bracket. There are no transaction costs to the lease. Each firm can borrow at 10 percent.
a. What is Quartz’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Reservation price $
b. What is New Leasing Company’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Reservation price $
Answer:
a. Quartz’s reservation price = $306,006.68
b. New Leasing Company’s reservation price = $234,034.25
Explanation:
Given:
Cost = Cost of the equipment = $970,000
n = number of years of lease term = 4
r = cost of borrowing rate = 10%, or 0.10
t = tax rate = 30%, or 0.30
DF = Discounting factor or PV of $1 = ((1-(1/(1 + r))^n)/r) = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.10))^5)/0.10) = 3.16986544634929
a. What is Quartz’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
The implication of the zero effective tax rate is that depreciation tax shield foregone does not exist. In addition, there is no difference between the after-tax lease payment and the pre-tax payment, and there is also no difference between the pre-tax cost of debt and the after-tax cost.
Quartz’s reservation price can therefore be calculated by setting net advantage to leasing (NAL) equal to zero and solve as follows:
NAL = 0 = Cost – (PMT * DF) ………… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
0 = $970,000 – (PMT * 3.16986544634929)
$970,000 = PMT * 3.16986544634929
PMT = $970,000 / 3.16986544634929
PMT = $306,006.68
Quartz’s reservation price = PMT = $306,006.68
b. What is New Leasing Company’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Depreciation tax shield = (Cost / n) * t = ($970,000 / 4) * 30% = $72,750
New r = After-tax debt cost = r * (1 - t) = 0.10 * (1 - 0.30) = 0.07
New DF = ((1-(1/(1 + New r))^n)/New r) = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.07))^5)/0.07) = 4.10019743594759
The New Leasing Company’s reservation price can therefore be calculated by setting NPV to zero as follows:
NPV = 0 = -Cost + (PMT * (1 – t) * New DF) + (Depreciation tax shield * New DF)
0 = -$970,000 + (PMT * (1-0.30) * 04.10019743594759) + ($72,750 * 4.10019743594759)
$970,000 - ($72,750 * 4.10019743594759) = PMT * (1-0.30) * 04.10019743594759
$671,710.636534813 = PMT * 2.87013820516331
PMT = $671,710.636534813 / 2.87013820516331
PMT = $234,034.25
New Leasing Company’s reservation price = PMT = $234,034.25
Based on market values, Gubler's Gym has an equity multiplier of 1.46 times. Shareholders require a return of 10.91 percent on the company's stock and a pretax return of 4.84 percent on the company's debt. The company is evaluating a new project that has the same risk as the company itself. The project will generate annual aftertax cash flows of $277,000 per year for 7 years. The tax rate is 39 percent. What is the most the company would be willing to spend today on the project
Answer:
The answer is "5.4% and 15,23,500".
Explanation:
Calculating the capital cost:
[tex]=(1-\frac{1}{1.46})\times 10.91\% \times (1-39\%)+(\frac{1}{1.46})\times 4.84\% \\\\=(\frac{1.46-1}{1.46})\times \frac{10.91}{100} \times (\frac{100-39}{100})+(\frac{1}{1.46})\times \frac{4.84}{100} \\\\ =(\frac{0.46}{1.46})\times \frac{10.91}{100} \times (\frac{61}{100})+(\frac{1}{1.46})\times \frac{4.84}{100} \\\\=\frac{306.1346}{14600}+\frac{4.84}{146} \\\\= 0.021+0.033 \\\\ =0.054\\\\= 5.4\%[/tex]
Maximum amount to be spent
[tex]=\frac{277,000\times 100 }{5.4} \times (1-\frac{1}{(1.054)^7})\\\\=\frac{277,000\times 100 }{5.4} \times (1-\frac{1}{1.44})\\\\=\frac{277,000\times 100 }{5.4} \times (1-0.7)\\\\=277,000 \times 100\times 0.055\\\\=\$15,23,500\\[/tex]

Your and your business partner bake bread to be sold at the Madison Farmer's Market every Saturday. You calculate the underage cost to be $2.50 per loaf and the overage cost to be $0.75 per loaf. If you are baking the profit maximizing amount of bread that balances the overage and underage cost, how often should you expect to run out of bread at the farmer's market
Answer:
23%
Explanation:
Overage cost(Co) = $0.75
Underage cost(Cu) = $2.50
Service level = Cu/(Co + Cu)
Service level = $2.50 / ($0.75+$2.50)
Service level = $2.50 / $3.25
Service level = 0.76923077
Service level = 76.92%
So the optimal service level is 77%
Risk of stock-out = 100% - Service level
Risk of stock-out = 100% - 77%
Risk of stock-out = 23%
How much interest (to the nearest dollar) would be saved on the following loan if the condominium were financed for 15 rather than 30 years? A $256,000 condominium bought with a 30% down payment and the balance financed for 30 years at 3.05%
Answer:
The interest saved is $49569.228 or $49569.
Explanation:
Total price of Condominium=$256,000
Downpayment=30% of total price=30%x$256,000= 76800
Amount Financed=Total Payment-Downpayment
Amount Financed=256000-76800=179200
Annual Interest rate=3.05%
Monthly interest rate =[tex]\frac{3.05\%}{12}[/tex]=0.25146%
The montly installment is calculated as follows:
[tex]M=\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{r}{100}}\right)^{nt}}{\dfrac{r}{100}}}[/tex]
Here
M is the montly installmentP is the amount financedr is the montly rate in percentagen is the number of yearst is the number of months in a yearCase 1 when the number of years is 30.
So the equation becomes
[tex]M=\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{r}{100}}\right)^{nt}}{\dfrac{r}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}\right)^{30*12}}{\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+0.0025146}\right)^{30*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{30*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200\times {0.0025146}}{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{30*12}}\\M=\dfrac{450.61632}{0.59510 }\\M=\$757.2087[/tex]
So the total amount paid in installments is
[tex]T=M\times n\times t[/tex]
So the equation becomes
[tex]T=M\times n\times t\\T=757.2087\times 30\times 12\\T=\$272595.132[/tex]
So the interest is given as
[tex]I=T-P\\I=272595.132-179200\\I=\$93395.132[/tex]
So a total interest of $93395.132 is paid when the amount is financed for 30 years.
Case 2 when the number of years is 15.
So the equation becomes
[tex]M=\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{r}{100}}\right)^{nt}}{\dfrac{r}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}\right)^{15*12}}{\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+0.0025146}\right)^{15*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{15*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200\times {0.0025146}}{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{15*12}}\\M=\dfrac{450.61632}{0.36368 }\\M=\$1239.0328[/tex]
So the total amount paid in installments is
[tex]T=M\times n\times t[/tex]
So the equation becomes
[tex]T=M\times n\times t\\T=1239.0328\times 15\times 12\\T=\$223025.904[/tex]
So the interest is given as
[tex]I=T-P\\I=223025.904-179200\\I=\$43825.904[/tex]
So a total interest of $43825.904 is paid when the amount is financed for 15 years.
The savings on interest if the condominium is financed for 15 years is given as
[tex]S=I_{30}-I_{15}\\S=93395.132-43825.904\\S=49569.228[/tex]
The interest saved is $49569.228 or $49569.
Suppose that the residents of Colgateville play golf incessantly. In fact, golf is the only thing they spend their money on. They buy golf balls, clubs, and tees. In 2019, they bought 1,000 golf balls for $2.00 each, 100 clubs for $50.00 each, and 500 tees for $0.10 each. In 2020, they bought 1,000 golf balls for $2.50 each, 100 clubs for $75.00 each, and 500 tees for $0.12 each. Using 2010 as the base year, answer the following questions.
a. What was the CPI for 2019?
b. What was the CPI for 2020?
c. What was the inflation rate in 2020?
Answer:
a. The CPI for 2019 is 100 because 2019 is the base year
b. CPI = Cost of basket of goods at current year prices/Cost of basket of goods at base year prices * 100
CPI = (1,000*$2.50) + (100*$75) + (500*$0.12) / (1,000$2.50) + (100*$50) + (500*$0.10) * 100
CPI = 10,060/7,550 * 100
CPI = 133.2450331125828
CPI = 133.25
c. Inflation rate = CPI in the current rate - CPI in previous year / CPI in previous year * 100
Inflation rate = 133.25 - 100/133.25 * 100
Inflation rate = 0.24953096 * 100
Inflation rate = 24.95%
Differential Analysis for a Lease or Buy Decision
Laredo Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $120,000. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $1,500. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $2,200 per year over the six-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Laredo Corporation can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $25,000 per year for six years, with no additional costs.
Prepare a differential analysis dated March 15 to determine whether Laredo Corporation should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. (Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner). If an amount is zero, enter "0".

A movie theater company obtains the following estimated elasticity of demand.
The absolute value of the short run price elasticity of demand for movie tickets is 0.85.
The absolute value of of the long run price elasticity of demand for movie tickets is 3.2.
The cross price elasticity of demand for good X, another product sold by the theater, with respect to the price of movie tickets is - 0.26
The income elasticity of demand for movie tickets is 0.75.
Answer each of the following by referring to the given elasticities.
a. If the theater raises movie ticket prices by 10 percent, by what percentage and in what direction will the quantity demanded for movie tickets change in the short run?
b. Explain why the short-run price elasticity of demand for movie tickets differs from the long-run price elasticity of demand for movie tickets.
c. What will happen to total revenue from movie ticket sales in the long run if movie ticket prices increase? Explain using the relative percentage changes in price and quantity.
d. Are movie tickets a normal good or an inferior good? Explain. (e) Given the increase in the price of movie tickets in part (a), what would be the impact on the demand for good X? Use the appropriate graph for good X to illustrate your answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Short-run price elasticity = - 0.85
Long-run price elasticity = - 3.2
Cross-price elasticity = - 0.26
Income elasticity = 0.75
a. If the theater raises movie ticket prices by 10 percent it means that percentage of price change is 10%.
[tex]Elasticity = \frac{Percentage change in Quantity demanded}{Percentage change in price} \\\\-0.85 = \frac{Percent change in Quantity demanded\\}{10} \\\\Percent change in Quantity demanded = -0.85*10\\ \\ = -8.5[/tex]
Thus, quantity demanded falls by 8.5 percent.
b. Short-run price elasticity is different from long-run elasticity due to the time horizon. When individuals have more time they can switch to cheaper alternatives. While, it takes time to adjust in the short-run as the time horizon is not much. So short-run elasticity is less elastic than in the long-run.
c.
In the long-run demand for movie tickets is very elastic. So as price rises in the long-run, quantity demanded falls by a greater proportion. This will cause total revenue to fall in the long-run.
d. Normal goods are goods which have a positive income elasticity. This means for normal goods demand increases as income increases. But in case of inferior goods, demand is inversely related to income. As income rises demand for inferior goods decreases.
Since in this case, income elasticity is 0.75 (positive) it can be concluded that movie tickets are normal goods.
e. Good X is the related good to movie tickets. As cross price elasticity is -0.26 it means that as price of movie tickets rises by 1 percent demand for good X will fall by 0.26 percent.
Thus, as demand for good X and price of movie tickets are inversely related to each other it can be said that they are complementary goods.
If the price of movie tickets are increased by 10%, quantity demanded would increase by 8.5%.
b. The short run elasticity of demand differs from the long run elasticity of demand because in the short run there is limited time to search for suitable suitable alternatives for movies.
c. If the price of movie tickets are increased revenue would decline because demand is elastic.
d. Movie tickets are a normal good. This is because its coefficient of elasticity is greater than zero.
e. If the price of movie tickets are increased, the demand for good X would decline. This is because the two goods are complements.
What is the price elasticity of demand?
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one.
What are normal and inferior goods?
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls. Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.

8430000 on July 1, 2020. Ivanhoe Football Co. had a player contract with Kurtz that is recorded in its books at $11150000 on July 1, 2020. On this date, Sheffield traded Watts to Ivanhoe for Kurtz and paid a cash difference of $1115000. The fair value of the Kurtz contract was $12600000 on the exchange date. The exchange had no commercial substance. After the exchange, the Kurtz contract should be recorded in S
Answer:
$9,545,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount that Kurtz contract should be recorded in S After the exchange
First step is to calculate the deferred gain
Deferred gain=($12,600,000 – $1,115,000) – 8,430,000
Deferred gain = $3,055,000
Now let calculate the Basis which is the amount that Kurtz contract should be recorded in S After the exchange
Basis=$12600000 – $3,055,000
Basis = $9,545,000
Therefore After the exchange, the Kurtz contract should be recorded in S as $9,545,000
EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,039,500. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 495,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $396,000 and $643,500 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.
Wool Cotton Total
Machine hours 110,000 110,000 220,000
Number of setups 1,100 550 1,650
1. Calculate the overhead rate using activity based costing.
2. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing.
3. Calculate the overhead rate using traditional approach.
4. What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach, assuming direct labor hours were incurred evenly between the wool and cotton?
Answer:
1. Cutting $1.80 per machine hour
Design $390 per setup
2. Wool product line $627,000
Cotton Product line $412,500
3. Overhead rate $2.10
4. Wool Product line $519,750
Cotton Product line $519,750
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the overhead rate using activity based costing.
Overhead rate using the activity based costing
Cutting = Overhead / Total Machine hours
= $396,000 / 220,000
= $1.80 per machine hour
Design = Overhead / Number of setups
= $643,500 / 1,650
= $390 per setup
2. Calculation to determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing
Overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line
Wool product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (1,100 * $390)
Wool product line= $198,000 + $429,000
Wool product line= $627,000
Cotton Product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (550 * $390)
Cotton Product line= $198,000 + $214,500
Cotton Product line= $412,500
3.Calculation to determine the overhead rate using traditional approach.
Overhead rate using traditional approach
Overhead rate = Total Overhead / Direct labor hours
Overhead rate= $1,039,500 / 495,000
Overhead rate= $2.10
4. Calculation to determine What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach
Overhead allocated using the traditional method
Wool Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Wool Product line= $519,750
Cotton Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Cotton Product line= $519,750

Should a room attendant share information with others about a guest if he/she thinks what the guest is doing is morally wrong?
Answer:
No, a room attendant should not share information with others about a guest if he/she thinks what the guest is doing is morally wrong.
Explanation:
Morality is a subjective issue. Even at that, what may be morally wrong can still be legal. Hence, there is no reason for a room attendant to share information with others about a guest if he/she thinks what the guest is doing is morally wrong.
For example, smoking shisha or drinking alcohol may be morally wrong to a room attendant, but it is legal for the guest to do in a guest house or hotel, hence the guest is within his rights to do so. Therefore, there is no need for a room attendant to inform others in as much it is legal.

Your client took a complete physical inventory count under your observation as of December 15 and adjusted the inventory control account (perpetual tory method) to agree with the physical inventory count. After considering the count adjust ments as of December 15 and after reviewing the transactions recorded from December 16 to December 31, you are almost ready to accept the inventory balance as fairly stated. However, your review of the sales cutoff as of December 15 and December 31 disclosed the following items not previously considered Sales Date Cost Price Shipped Billed Credited to Inventory Control $28,400 $36,900 12/14 12/16 12/16 39,100 50,200 12/10 12/19 12/10 18,900 21,300 1/2 12/31 12/31
Required: what adjusting journal entries, if any, would you make for each of these items? Explain why each adjustment is necessary. (AICPA adapted)
Answer:
The adjustments made are as attached in the excel sheet. As the goods are entered prior to shipment in the first item, the inventory control variation is to be made.
Explanation:
As the goods are shipped before taking the physical inventory, the inventory control is not made. As the shipment got prior to the physical inventory, the control amount is credited. However, the auditee credited Inventory Control for the cost of these goods on December 16, one of these two credits must be removed.
For the third item, similar situation happened where the inventory control is made.

Adding expectancy theory to the model of motivation and performance illustrates how the interaction of valence, expectancy, and instrumentality contribute to motivation_______. Highlights how employees are motivated to put actual effort into their jobs when they believe their performance will result in ___________ .
Management at Work
Matt is a manager at Starbucks. He recently received a special motivation report, but he isn't sure how to use the information it contains. Can you help? Knowing that you are studying expectancy theory, Matt wants you to read the motivation report and help him write an e-mail that will motivate his employee Jayden. Review what motivates employees at Starbucks by reading the "Motivation Report."
Motivation Report
In general, motivation at Starbucks is high. However, different employees are motivated by different things. In Matt's department, Jayden is motivated by learning new things, Peter is motivated by money, and Adrian is motivated by interesting work.
Explanation:
The expectancy theory is an interesting theory of motivation. This theory believes that people, in general, behave the way they do in a certain way because they are motivated to achieve a common objective.
Since the main focus here is to read the motivation report and help Matt write an e-mail that will motivate Jayden. Remember, we are told he is motivated by learning new things, hence a sample email could read;
Hi, Jayden I would like to commend you for the work you do here at the company, you are truly one of our best employees. I would assign you to a new role at the company, and there is a possibility of reassigning you to better roles in the future.

Well-managed companies set aside money to pay for emergencies that inevitably arise in the course of doing business. A commercial solid-waste recycling and disposal company in Mexico City puts 0.5% of its after-tax income into such an account. (a) How much will the company have after 7 years if after-tax income averages $15.2 million and inflation and market interest rates are 5% per year and 9% per year, respectively
Answer:
$699,200
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
After tax income = $15,200,000
Amount in account = 0.5% × $15,200,000 = $76,000
Time period = 7 years
inflation = 5%
Interest rate = 9%
So, Total amount after 7 years = $76,000 × (F/A, 9%, 7)
= $76,000 ×[ [tex]((1+.09)^{7}-1 )[/tex] ÷ .09]
= $76,000 × [.82803912082 ÷ .09]
= $76,000 × 9.2
= $699,200
