At some colleges and universities, economics professors receive higher salaries than professors in some other fields.
koban [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

At some colleges and universities, economics professors receive higher salaries than professors in some other fields.

A. Why might this be true?

Economists have a higher opportunity cost working in academia than professors in other fields because in certain fields that are different from academic,there is a lack of labor opportunity for professor and even when such arise ,they are difficult to get and another reason may be that economists who are good in some fields may employ themselves in other firms with higher wages because of their real life first hand experience, even when some colleges and universities wants to hire them, got to spend a greater amount of money than for professors in some other fields.

B. Some other colleges and universities have a policy of paying equal salaries to professors in all fields. At some of these schools, economics professors have lighter teaching loads than professors in some other fields. What role do the differences in teaching loads play

In order for  university to employ working force which is hard to find, they put in place differences in teaching loads ,such differences in teaching load are intended to attract economics professors by providing nonmetary compensation

Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s retu
almond37 [142]

Answer:

a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09

b. Simple rate of return is 15%

c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Explanation:

a. Compute the project's net present value.

To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:

Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 +  $828,000 = $1,,280,000

Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?

P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000

r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17

n = Equipment useful years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]

PV = $4,095,163.09

Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09

b. Compute the project's simple rate of return

This can be computed as follows:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment =  $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%

c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?

Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.

d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.
