1)Calculate the annual total fixed costs for a combine that has an initial price of $300,000, a useful life of 7 years, a salvage value of $50,000, and was financed at an interest rate of 5%?
2) Consider a farm with 1500 acres total where 1000 acres are in wheat and 500 are in soybeans. Wheat yield is 90 bushels/acre, wheat price is $3/bushel, and total operating expenses per acre are $100. Soybean yields are 35 bushels/acre, soybean price is $7/bushel, and total operating expenses per acre are $100. Construct a partial budget table (10 points) and determine whether it makes sense to increase wheat 1200 acres and reduce soybeans to 300 acres?
