Dwight Donovan, the president of Finch Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, h

e will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $103,000 and for Project B are $41,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $34,441 for Project A and $12,522 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next five years. Finch Enterprises’ desired rate of return is 8 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

1. The computation of the net present value of each project is as follows:

                                     Project A           Project B

NPV                               $36,523            $9,000

2. Based on the net present value approach, <u>Project A</u> should be adopted, instead of Project B.

<h3>What is the net present value?</h3>

The net present value is the difference between the costs and the annual cash inflows discounted to their present values.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

                                      Project A           Project B

Initial costs                     $103,000          $41,000

Annual cash inflows         $34,441          $12,522

Project live                       5 years            5 years

Rate of return                    8%                    8%

Annuity factor                   3.993             3.993

PV of cash inflows       $139,523          $50,000

NPV                               $36,523            $9,000

<h3>Question Completion:</h3>

1. Compute the net present value of each project.

2. Which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach?

Thus, based on the net present value approach, <u>Project A</u> should be adopted.

Suppose a local park is rectangular in shape and has a length of 210 yards and a width of 105 yards. What is the length of the d
Otrada [13]

Answer:

234.784 ~ 235

Step-by-step explanation:

One side = 210

other side = 105

a2+b2 = c2

210 ^2 + 105 ^2 = c2

55125 = c ^2

c = \sqrt{55125} = 234.784 ~ 235

hope its right!!!

(WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST) Which of the following exponential functions goes through the points (1, 6) and (2, 12)?
olganol [36]

Answer:

\boxed{a. \: f(x) = 3(2)x} \: is \: correct

Step-by-step explanation:

if \: the  \: points \: are \:  (1, 6) \:  and  \: (2, 12) \to \\ then \to \\ m =  \frac{12 - 6}{2 - 1}  =  \frac{6}{1}  \\  \boxed{m = 6} \\ y - 6 = m(x  - 1) \\ y = 6x - 6 + 6 \\ y = 6x = (3)(2)x \\ but \: y = f(x) \to \: hence \to \\ \boxed{ f(x) = 3(2)x}
