Answer:

b. The proposal is desirable and the rate of return expected from the proposal is less than the minimum rate used for the analysis.

Explanation:

Under the Net Present Value method we compute the present value of all cash flows, inflow or outflow

And these values are discounted at the minimum rate of return required if the resulting value is positive that means that the rate of return expected is less than minimum rate of return used to discount the value. In that case we are sure that the result of this project will be positive and favorable.

As the discount rate used is in, fact is higher than the actual rate of expected return, therefore this assures to return a profit.

Final Answer

b. The proposal is desirable and the rate of return expected from the proposal is less than the minimum rate used for the analysis.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

After her 18th birthday the balance will be $41,301

Explanation:

Balance right after the 18th birthday is calculated using the formula for future value of annuity

FV = PMT \times \frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}

Annual payment PMT = 1,000

Interest rate i = 0.09

Deposits are made for 18 years: n = 18

The balance in her account will then be:

FV = 1,000 * ( 1.09^18 - 1 ) / 0.09

     = $41,301

Compute the current ratio and acid-test ratio for each of the separate cases. Camaro GTO TorinoCash $ 2,000 $110 $1,000Short-ter
aniked [119]

Answer:

The Current and Acid Test ratios help show whether a company will be able to pay of its current obligations with its current assets.

<h2>Current Ratio:</h2>

Camero :                                                                        GTO

= Current Assets / Current liabilities                          = 3,500 / 1,000

= 5,200 / 2,000                                                           = 3.50

= 2.60

Torino

= Current assets / Current liabilities

= 7,410 / 3,800

= 1.95

<h2>Acid-Test ratio </h2>

Camero

= (Current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid expenses) / Current liabilities

= (5,200 - 2,600 - 200) / 2,000

= 1.20

GTO

= (3,500 - 2,420 - 500) / 1,000

= 0.58

Torino

= (7,410 - 4,230 - 900) / 3,800

= 0.60

A firm in a perfectly competitive market has a fixed cost of $1,000 and a variable cost of $500 while it is earning the revenue
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost

Explanation:

Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.

Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510

Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q

R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500

So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC

Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down
