Answer: a) total assets will increase by less than four percent
Explanation:
Since the tax rate and the dividend payout ratio are fixed, and you have net working capital and all costs varying directly with sales, the total assets will increase by a value that is less than the annual increase in sales.
Answer:
Comedy as a Profession is a great example.
Explanation:
The science of it is related to the psychology of what makes people laugh.
If studied, one would realize that there are certain things that are bound to make people laugh (all things being equal). An example is when a person makes fun of themself to an audience.
To explain this, scientists have stated that it is inherent in humans to laugh at the misfortune of others. However, this is just a theory and does not explain why we laugh at other kinds of comedy.
A plausible explanation (which is more recent in the parlance of psychology) is that people also laugh when certain expectations are defied in a very witty manner.
As a professional stand-up comedian, knowing all the rules and tricks is just one part of the coin. Being able to, either by practice or repeated efforts during practice, internalize these principles, practice them and effectively use them is the artistic part of the picture.
There those who are gifted naturally with a principle thought process that elicits laughter from others, would be termed hilarious. However, to make a living out of comedy, one would need to fully understand the principles and practice to deliver them as naturally as possible.
Another paradigm to the art of comedy is that, it has to be very witty. Wit many times may come with an element of suprise... a new angle that was previously "unthought" of.

If the company requires a return of 10 percent for such an investment, calculate the present value of the project.
The present value of the project is $72349.51.
Since we consider only incremental cash flows for a project, we consider $21,600 for year one and calculate a 4% increase for each of the additional years.
We then calculate the Present Value Interest Factor (PVIF) at 10% for four years using the formula :
PVIF = 1 / [(1+r)^n]
Next, we find the product of the respective cash flows and PVIF for each year.
Finally, we find the total of the discounted cash flows for the four years to find the Present Value of the project.
The approach that Mr. McKay is using in the setting is the
problem based learning. The PBL or the Problem based learning is defined as a
student centered pedagogy by which students are likely to learn a particular subject
based from the experience of having to solve open ended problem found in a
material that triggers it.
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Given that
Total revenue is $70,000
Total fixed cost is $40,000
And, the total variable cost is $10,000
According to the given situation, the computation of profit is shown below:-
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Fixed cost - Total variable cost
= $70,000 - (10,000 × $4) - 10,000
= $70,000 - 40,000 - 10,000
= $10,000
Therefore for computing the profit we simply applied the above formula.
