Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company has historically used a three-year cutoff for projects. The required return is 10 percent.

Year - Project F - Project G

0: $150,000 - $235,000

1: 78,000 - 54,000

2: 54,000 - 72,000

3: 68,000 - 103,000

4: 60,000 - 139,000

5: 54,000 - 156,000

A) Payback period: it is the necessary time to recover the initial investment.

Project F:

Io= -150,000

Year 1= +78,000= -72,000

Year 2= +54,000= -18,000

Year 3=+68,000= 50,000

We have to determine the number of days:

(18,000/68,000)= 0.26*365= 95 days

It will take 3 years and 95 days to recover the initial investment

Project G:

Io= -235,000

Year 1= +54,000= -181,000

Year 2= +72,000= -109,000

Year 3= +103,000= -6,000

Year 4= +139,000= 133,000

We have to determine the number of days:

(6,000/139,000)= 0.043*365= 16 days

It will take 4 years and 16 days.

2) To calculate the Net present value, we need to discount the cash flows.

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

Project F:

NPV= -150,000 + 78,000/1.10 + 54,000/1.10^2 + 68,000/1.10^3 ...

NPV= $91,137.15

Project G:

NPV= -235,000 + 54,000/1.10 + 72,000/1.10^2 + ...

NPV= $142,783.06

The two characteristics of a competitive market are 1) many buyers and sellers in the market and 2) the goods offered by the var
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1. True

2. False

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

An example of perfect competition is the market for farm produce.

Why is there a time value of money (cash received today is valued more than cash received a year fromnow)?a. Interest rates are
Simora [160]

Answer:

<u>A and B are correct</u>

Explanation :

  • The TVM concept is based on the value of money which is today may change with time as a rise or fall in prices thus this explains why the interest rates are paid and calculated on the basis of the present values that may change such as future sum of money of cash flows, can get discontinued at the discounted rates.
  • Future values can be ascertained based on the present value of the product/assert. Thus the interest rates and inflation rates change as the risks and the consumer's needs will always be present and have existed earlier.
  • It's calculated by the present value and future value of money multiplied by the interest rate and the total number of years. I.e
  • FV = PV x [ 1 + (i / n) ] (n x t)

What is true about credit scores
Arada [10]
You can make them good by buying things with your credit card for little amounts of money and paying the bill right away!
And they allow you to buy houses and cars and qualify for things for cheaper...if you have the better credit you're going to get the house because you show you're responsible with your money.
