Answer: 300 feet

Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.

1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.

2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.

3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.

This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.

Perfect​ Clean, Inc. provides housekeeping services. The following financial data have been provided. Service Revenue $ 70 comma
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The contribution margin is $29,650

The contribution margin ratio is 42.35%

Explanation:

Contribution Margin : The contribution margin shows a difference between sales revenue and variable cost.

For computing the contribution margin, the following formula is used which is shown below:

= Service revenue - Cleaning supplies - wages expenses

= $70,000 - $22,000 - $18,350

=$29,650

Thus, the contribution margin is $29,650

Now, the contribution margin ratio is a ratio between contribution margin and sales.

In mathematically,

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Service revenue

                                          = $29,650 ÷ $70,000

                                          = 42.35%

Hence, the contribution margin ratio is 42.35%

= 7.6

Based on this Vaughn would offer 7.6 percent on its commercial paper.

Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

To calculate the present value you need to use the Net Present Value. The NPV is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time.

The formula is:

NPV= -Io + ∑[Rt/(1+i)^t]

where:

R t​     =Net cash inflow-outflows during a single period t

i=Discount rate of return that could be earned in alternative investments

t=Number of timer periods

NPV= -10,000,000 - 5,000,000/1.10 + (20,000,000/1.10^2)

NPV= $1,983,471.1
