Organization and Management
Answer:
B) Incurable
Explanation:
The convenience store is working legally in front of your house, and unless you have enough money to buy the whole business and close it, then you cannot do anything about it. That is what incurable means in real estate: the costs of improvements or corrections necessary are higher than the value that is added by the improvement or cure.
That is probably the reason why the house is so cheap and Maria can afford it.
Answer:
The requirement is to calculate the present value of each option:
$ 11.26 million
$11.5 million
$ 12.52 million
Explanation:
The present value formula in excel is very useful in this case:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the 14% interest rate to be earned per year
nper is duration of the payment
pmt is the amount of payment expected per year
fv is the is the future worth of the payment which is unknown
Option 1:
=-pv(14%,20,1.7,0)=$ 11.26 million
Option 2:
The amount receivable today is the present value i.e $11.5 million
option 3:
=-pv(14%,20,1.4,0)=$9.27 million
total =amount received today+$ 9.27 million=$3.25 million+$ 9.27 millon=$ 12.52 million
Answer: C. Maturing
Explanation:
The product life cycle has 4 very clearly defined stages, each with its own characteristics that mean different things for business that are trying to manage the life cycle of their particular products. This stages are Introduction, Growth, Maturing and Decline. Although, there are other conventions of this cycle/ Product stages which includes saturation before decline, or development before introduction, but for the sake of COFFMAN'S ELECTRONICS which we are considering, they are at a maturing stage.
Present Value involves discounting, and future value involves compounding.
The find present value of a dollar a year from now, we must discount by the discount rate, since a dollar a year from now is not worth as much as a dollar today.
To find the future value (in a year) of a dollar we receive today, we increase the dollar by the discount rate, since our dollar today is worth more than a dollar a year from now.
