This is an illustration of correlation without causation.
Explanation:
For Example:
The inspectors who are poorly informed calculate shoe size and decipher comprehension. You note that both are linked favourably. Their report claiming smaller feet lead to better reading skills is, of course, denied. Given the connection between the two, foot size does not affect better reading abilities.
First of all, age estimation is related both to the foot size and comprehension of the reading. The another missing element is a philosophical and analytical model that can be used to explain the causal relationships from age to foot and from age to understanding through reading. Older existence is associated with both and because we have a rational conceptual model for human experiences which is in line with such an explanation, we assume it is the origin of both.

Cost Reduction #1 Priority
True
Explanation:
For supply chain companies to achieve their profit targets, they need to curtail costs. Consumers are not ready to absorb much costs as they are presented with low-priced alternatives. The competition for customers among supply chain organizations is very high. Everyone competes for the dollar the consumer is willing to spend on goods. With property and advertising costs skyrocketing, careful management of the cost structure is required.
D I believe because the others do not seem very voluntary
Answer:
A.- DECREASE
B.- DECREASE
C.- INCREASE
D.- INCREASE
E.- INCREASE
Explanation:
a. The discount rate increases
DECREASE the discoutn factors will be higher therefore, the present values lower.
b. The cash flows are in the form of a deferred annuity, and the total to $100,000. You learn that the annuity lasts for 10 years rather than 5 years, hence that each payment is for $10,000 rather than for $20,000
DECREASE Because the cashflow is generate on a longer period there is more exposure to discount rates.
c. The discount rate decreases
INCREASE The discount factor are lower. This situation is the opposite as (a)
d. The riskiness of the investment's cash flows <u>decreases</u>
INCREASE a lower risk derivates in lower cost of capital thus, lower iscount rates. This increase the present value of the cashflow.
e. The total amount of cash flows remains the same, but more of the cash flows are received in the earlier years and less are received in the later years.
INCREASE as most of the future cash flows are at the beginning they have less exposure to time value of money.
