present value of the tax shield: 1,837.49

Explanation:

the nominal tax shield in year 10:

\frac{6812}{(1 + 0.14)^{10} } = PV  

PV: 1,837.49

g100num [7]

Answer:

d. $119.32

Explanation:

The computation of the total of leiff online purchase is shown below:

= Video game price - discount + sales tax + shipping fee

where,

Video game price is $128

The discount = Video game price × discount percentage

= $128 ×15%

= $19.2

The sales tax =  (Video game price - discount) × sales tax rate

= ($128 - $19.2) ×5.3%

= $5.77

And, the shipping fee is $4.75

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $128 - $19.2 + $5.77 + $4.75

= $119.32

BigorU [14]

Answer:

3.46 m/s

Explanation:

This is actually a Physics question and not a Business question.

According to the property of conservation of momentum, the speed of the Mazda before the collision multiplied by the mass of the Mazda must equal the speed after the collision multiplied by the mass of both cars:

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)*v_2\\940*12.5=(940+2460)*v_2\\v_2= 3.46\ m/s

The post-collision speed of the two entangled cars is 3.46 m/s.
