True. Common law reflects how society is ever changing. Common law is unspoken laws that change as time passes that citizens just abide by. Common law is not written down or enforced like don't drink and drive, wear your seat belt, drive the speed limit etc. These laws change as society changes to make sure they 'make sense' for the times they are being used in.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

a) incremental net income

net income year 1 = ($16,500 - $3,500 - $8,000) x 0.65 = $3,250

net income year 2 = ($17,000 - $3,600 - $8,000) x 0.65 = $3,510

net income year 3 = ($17,500 - $3,700 - $8,000) x 0.65 = $3,770

net income year 4 = ($14,500 - $2,900 - $8,000) x 0.65 =$1,340

b) incremental net cash flow

cash flow year 1 = [($16,500 - $3,500 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 - $430 = $10,820

cash flow year 2 = [($17,000 - $3,600 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 - $480 = $11,030

cash flow year 3 = [($17,500 - $3,700 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 - $380 = $11,390

cash flow year 4 = [($14,500 - $2,900 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 + $1,670 = $12,010

c) project's NPV

NPV = -$32,380 + $10,820/1.13 + $11,030/1.13² + $11,390/1.13³ + $12,010/1.13⁴ = $1,093.13

iragen [17]

Answer:

Bart Inc.

The initial value of the machine is:

= $114,240.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date of purchase of machine from Fell Corp. = December 31, 2016

Annual payments for a non-interest-bearing note = $20,000

Appropriate present value of the annuity due = 5.712

PV of the annual payments for 8 years = $114,240 ($20,000 * 5.712)

First payment date = December 31, 2016

Period of payments = 8 years

Prevailing interest rate for this type of note = 11%

Check from an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods) 8

I/Y (Interest per year) 11

PMT (Periodic Payment) 20000

FV (Future Value) 0

Results

PV = $114,243.93

Sum of all periodic payments = $160,000.00

Total Interest = $45,756.07

Determine if the people in the example have benefited (i.e., are winners) or have been harmed (i.e., are losers) by unexpected i

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Winners

3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

Losers

Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.

Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.

Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.

The US federal government which had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Explanation:

When unexpected inflation occurs, the usual plan to by Monetary Institutions of a country is raising the interest rates.

By doing that, they want to stop it or slowly decelerate it.

So that it becomes more expensive to take a loan, the idea is to reduce consumption.

In Economics, it's a bad scenario after all. Few winners. Many losers.

So, let's examine them

Winners

3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

At first, The 3rd National is going to be winning since the value of the debt will rise, depending on the type of contract and an increase in the interest rate will demand corrections on the monthly payments. But on the other hand, the number of default clients and overdue installments will raise for sure.

Losers

Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.

Inflation reduces the real buying value of her checks. And her pension can't grow otherwise this will feed the inflation too.

Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.

Since his money is not invested then He's not having any earning that might give him some compensation. So his money is even more devalued.

Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.

Depending on the contract Joy might be sleepless. Either her monthly payments will become more expensive or She may experience difficulties because of the weekly growing prices.

The US federal government had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Certainly, the president and his secretary will have to address the fact that due to inflation and the chosen medicine make the nation's debt up to the sky. They must renegotiate the payment deadlines.
