Answer:

option (B) Costs outweigh benefits by $1,600

Explanation:

Given:

Software costs = $10,300

Employee training cost = $8,200

Expected hardware upgrade cost = $12,100

Expected benefits from the inventory tracking system = $29,000

Now,

The total cost of the inventory tracking system

= Software costs + Employee training cost + Expected hardware upgrade cost

= $10,300 + $8,200 + $12,100

= $30,600

Since the cost is more than the benefit, the cost outweigh the benefit

the difference of outweigh = Cost - Benefit = $30,600 - $29,000 = $1,600

Hence,

the correct answer is option (B)

Project A has a required return on 9.2 percent and cash flows of −$87,000, $32,600, $35,900, and $43,400 for Years 0 to 3, respe

Answer:

Accept Project B , Reject Project A

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be found using a financial calculator

For project A ,

Cash flow in year 0 = $-87,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,600

Cash floe in year 2 = $35,900

Cash floe in year 3 = $43,400

I = 9.2%

NPV = $6,288.17

For project B,

Cash flow in year zero = −$85,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $14,700

Cash flow in year 2 = $21,200

Cash flow in year 3 = $89,800

I = 12.7%

NPV = $7,468.93

Based on the NPV, the second project would be chosen because it has a higher NPV.

Both projects are profitable but because the projects are mutually exclusive, only the more profitable project can be chosen.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

zalisa [80]

Answer:

net present value is

$228,652.29-$200,000.00

=$28,652.29.

Explanation:

Net cashflows

Year 1= 100000

Year 2= 90000

Year 3= 95000 (75000+ 20000)

Totals= 285000

Present value at 12%

Formula for present value=

1/(1+r)^n

where r= interest rate

n= number of years

Year 1=1/(1+0.12)^1 =0.8929

Year 2=1/(1+0.12)^2= 0.7972

Year 3=1/(1+0.12)^3 =0.7118

Present value of net cash flows =

Present value × net cash flows.

Year 1= 0.8929 × 100000= $89,285.71

Year 2=0.7972 ×90000= $71,747.45

Year 3=0.7118×95000= $67,619.12

Totals = $228,652.29

Amount invested= $(200,000.00)

Net present value (NPV) is referred to as the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. Net Present Value is used in capital budgeting and investment planning to analyze the profitability of a projected investment or project.

Therefore, net present value is

$228,652.29-$200,000.00

=$28,652.29.

Answer: b. shoe-leather costs

Explanation:

This is the shoe-leather cost inflation. It refers to the time and effort expended by people to ensure that they are able to avoid their cash losing too much value to inflation. Includes for instance, going to the bank multiple times because you are holding little cash on hand so it does not lose value.

It is named shoe-leather costs as a play on words because it is assumed that the time and effort put will result in walking around alot and degrading the quality of your shoes.

ahrayia [7]

Answer: context

Explanation:

The factor that has most likely influenced Downing's perception of Law is context.

Context refers to the situation for the occurence of a event. It's vital to look at the circumstances that were present at the time of the behavior of a person when attempting to understand the person's behavior.

Assuming both of them were part of team meetings where almost all member gave their own suggestions, then Law would not have drawn as much attention from Downing.
