Answer:

1. NPV calculation

Option 1 ( with Greewood fertilizer) : $2.256

Option 2 ( with Peter's Fertilizer) : $3.835

2. Rate of return calculation:

Option 1: 45.12%

Option 2: 95.875%

Option 2 should be chosen as it provides higher NPV.

Explanation:

1. The detailed calculation for each option is:

Option 1: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (8/1.05^2) - 5 = $2.256

Option 2: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (10/1.05^5) - 4 = $3.835.

2. The detailed calculation for each option is:

Option 1: NPV/Initial cost = 2.256/5= 45.12%

Option 2: NPV/Initial cost =3.835/10 = 95.875%

To assess which option should be picked with the assumption of infinite time horizon, NPV should be key driver. As Option 2 has higher NPV, Option 2 is chosen.

Nata [24]

Answer:

merge law and equity

Explanation:

In resolving labour related or welfare issues the best way to do so will be to hear the grievances of the striking workers and try to find an equitable solution to the situation.

However if all reasonable avenues have been pursued and they still don't want to comply, then legal measures can be taken to make them work.

In this scenario Reginald should call the striking workers and try to come to an equitable solution for the business and workers where there will be a win-win.

If this does not work he can use the law to compel them to comply.

1. Which of the following sequences of events most accurately portrays a real-life scenario? (1 point)
Lyrx [107]
1. Choice (a) is correct. In a real-life labor union strikes, it usually begins with a notice of strike to be sent to an employer within 60 days known as the cooling-off period. Then, labor unions' strikes begin. If they feel that they are ignored by the employer, then picketing happens. Labor unions carry signs and other rally paraphernalia in the premises of the employer informing the public about their sentiments towards the employer. In this case, the employer will ask the labor union to reach an agreement through collective bargaining agreement. 

2. Choice (a) is correct. The management has three tools to use in case of disagreement. These are an injunction, lockout, and hiring replacement workers. An injunction is a judicial order telling the person from doing so. A lockout is a temporary work stoppage or denial of employment. Hiring replacement workers simply mean looking for another competent worker that can do the job of the vacated position.
