Answer:

Project A = 0.87 years

Project B =  1 year

2 Project should be chosen because it has a shorter payback period.

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.

For project A, the payback period is $20,000 / $23,000 = 0.87 years

For project B, the payback period is $20,000 / $20,000 = 1 year

Project should be chosen because it has a shorter payback period.

In the​ past, Peter​ Kelle's tire dealership in Baton Rouge sold an average of 1 comma 000 radials each year. In the past 2​ yea
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

For computing the demand for each sale, first we have to compute the average sale for each season which is show below:

Average sale in fall = (240 + 260) ÷ 2 = 250

Average sale in winter = (340 + 300)  ÷ 2 = 320

Average sale in spring = (140 + 160)  ÷ 2 = 150

Average sale in summer = (320 + 240) ÷ 2 = 280

Demand for next fall = (250  ÷ 1,000) × 1,200 = 300

Demand for next winter = (320  ÷ 1,000) × 1,200 = 384

Demand for next spring = (150  ÷ 1,000) × 1,200 = 180

Demand for next summer = 1,200 - (300+384+180) = 336

Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 3 million hours per week to produce jea
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 2 pairs of jeans

Explanation:

Bellisima uses 1 million hours of labor to produce corn and 3 million hours of labor to produce jeans. Produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans.

  • Production of corn per million hours of labor = 8 / 1 = 8 bushels of corn
  • Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 48 / 3 = 16 pairs of jeans

Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor to produce corn and 1 million hours of labor to produce jeans. Produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans.

  • Production of corn per million hours of labor = 15 / 3 = 5 bushels of corn
  • Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 20 / 1 = 20 pairs of jeans

The opportunity cost refers to the extra costs or benefits lost form choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.

  • Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 16 pairs of jeans / 8 bushels of corn = 2 pairs of jean per bushel of corn.
  • Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 pair of jeans = 8 bushels of corn / 16 pairs of jeans = 0.5 bushels of corn per pair of jean.

  • Felicidad's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 20 pairs of jeans / 5 bushels of corn = 4 pairs of jean per bushel of corn.
  • Felicidad's opportunity cost to produce 1 pair of jeans = 5 bushels of corn / 20 pairs of jeans = 0.25 bushels of corn per pair of jean.
