The compensation the pay that employees receive in return for their labor. It is the total amount of the non-monetary and monetary pay given to employees by their employers for the work they performed or for the services they rendered. It is the combination the value of the pay, bonuses, vacation, health insurance, and other benefits you receive.
Answer:
The Net Present Value is - $20324
Explanation:
We can use our financial calculator to work out the NPV using the cashflows from the different periods and using the discount rate given. Which is 18%.
We have 11 periods. Starting off with CF 0. ( CF = cashflow ) We will work in Thousands to make it easier to read and compute. $ ' 000
CF 0 Machine Investment (750) Working Capital Investment (25) Total=(775)
CF 1 160 inflow
CF 2 160 inflow
CF 3 160 inflow
CF 4 160 inflow
CF 5 160 inflow
CF 6 160 inflow
CF 7 160 inflow
CF 8 160 inflow
CF 9 160 inflow
CF 10 160 inflow
CF 11 160 inflow. 35 salvage value from machine. Working capital 25. Total Cashlow = 220
We now use our financial calculator and input these amounts into the calculator.
We start of by entering the data and hitting ENT and do so for every Cash flow. At the end we press 2nd function CFI on our calculator. We then enter the discount rate of 18%. and press down button to get to NPV and then press COMP.
We get an answer of -20,32400407
We now need to put the amount into thousands. Thus = -20324,004
rounded to the nearest dollar we get - $ 20324
<span>c. common resources are rival in consumption.
In the tragedy of the commons, William Forster Lloyd presented the example of a common resource being over used and destroyed because for any individual abusing the resource, they gained a benefit while the damage to the resource was paid by everyone.
So let's look at the available options and see what makes sense, or doesn't make sense.
a. people consider the value of resources in the future more than in the present.
* If this were true, the there wouldn't be a tragedy of the commons. So this is an incorrect answer.
b. markets do not account for the presence of property rights.
* The tragedy of the commons doesn't involve property rights. EVERYONE in the community is allowed to use the commons. The problem is irresponsible overuse of the common resource. So this is also an incorrect answer.
c. common resources are rival in consumption.
* This is the correct answer. The concept of Rivalry is where a common resource can not be simultaneous consumed by multiple users, or if the consumption of a resource decreases its utility to another consumer. In the tragedy, if one person grazes (consumes) more than their fair share, the commons gets over grazed and over time stops producing. Each person who's overgrazing does get a tangible short term benefit for doing so, but everyone has to pay the cost.
d. government does not efficiently allocate society's scarce resources.
* This is also a wrong answer. It's true that the commons could be regulated by the government, but then it would no longer be the commons.</span>
Answer: b. shift inward
Explanation: The curve is delayed in because although capital goods would increase in the possibilities curve, consumer goods are retracted, so that the fault would have a tendency to lean in closer to zero because consumer goods would not increase in same proportion. This is the same as saying that the production capacity will be limited because to increase the amount of consumer goods produced must be reduced, this way the possibilities curve behaves
