Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Coworker's paycheck.
Explanation:
One of the uses of apostrophes (') in grammar is to show possession. In such a case, the apostrophe and an "s" are added to nouns at their end ('s). If the noun is plural ending with an "s" only the apostrophe (') is added. The other use of apostrophes is to show that words have been contracted (e.g. I am = I'm).
Thus, the noun "coworker" in its singular form shows possession in the phrase:
<em>Coworker's paycheck.</em>
Answer: No. Mr. Smith cannot run for the Massachusetts Senate seat
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Mr. Smith is 49 years old, a United States citizen and that he would like to run for a Senate seat in Massachusetts. He lives in New York and is registered to vote in that state.
It should be noted that Mr Smith isn't a resident of Massachusetts and therefore, he cannot run for Senator as he's not registered there but rather he registered in New York. Assuming he registered in New York, then he can be a senator there but he isn't registered there, therefore he can't.
Answer:
D) Adults do not contract influenza primarily from children who have influenza.
Explanation:
The conclusion from this argument is that there is no health benefit for the nasal spray vaccine since it was designed to be administered to children, but children rarely get influenza.
The only assumption that strengthens this conclusion is that children do not pass influenza to adults.
- If this is true, plus the fact that children rarely get influenza, then why would anyone need an influenza vaccine for children.
- If this assumption was false and children passed influenza to adults, then the conclusion would be wrong because a vaccine would be necessary to prevent children from passing influenza.
Answer:
A.- DECREASE
B.- DECREASE
C.- INCREASE
D.- INCREASE
E.- INCREASE
Explanation:
a. The discount rate increases
DECREASE the discoutn factors will be higher therefore, the present values lower.
b. The cash flows are in the form of a deferred annuity, and the total to $100,000. You learn that the annuity lasts for 10 years rather than 5 years, hence that each payment is for $10,000 rather than for $20,000
DECREASE Because the cashflow is generate on a longer period there is more exposure to discount rates.
c. The discount rate decreases
INCREASE The discount factor are lower. This situation is the opposite as (a)
d. The riskiness of the investment's cash flows <u>decreases</u>
INCREASE a lower risk derivates in lower cost of capital thus, lower iscount rates. This increase the present value of the cashflow.
e. The total amount of cash flows remains the same, but more of the cash flows are received in the earlier years and less are received in the later years.
INCREASE as most of the future cash flows are at the beginning they have less exposure to time value of money.
Answer:
The expected rate of return on this investment is:
21%
Explanation:
Cost of computer = $200,000
Annual cash flows for 5 years = $48,271
Total cash flows = $241,355 ($48,271 x 5)
Returns = $41,355 ($241,355 - $200,000)
The expected rate of return = Returns/Costs * 100
or the average of returns and the average of investments (they yield the same results)
Using the total returns and investment:
= $41,355/$200,000 * 100
= 21%
Using the average returns and investment:
= $8,271/$40,000 * 100
= 21%
