Answer:

3.83 years

Explanation:

The payback period measures how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flows.

It is a capital budgeting technique that doesn't account for the time value of money.

Payback period = Cost of asset / cash flows

$92,000/ $24,000 = 3.83 years

Answer: 3.83years

Explanation:Payback period is the time in which the initial outlay of an investment is expected to be recovered through the cash inflows generated by the investment.

Most times cash flow estimates areaccurate for periods in the short term-near future and inaccurate for periods in distant future-,long term due to uncertainties which may be operational or economical.

payback involves risk in a project because it takes initial inflows into account and disregard the cash flows after the initial investment is recovered.

Projects with having larger cash returns inflows in the shorter periods are generally ranked higher when compared to similar projects having larger cash inflows in the longer periods.

Payback period is given by

Amount invested/ net cash inflows

Therefore we have that 92,000/24000 =3.83 years

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": An indirect​ approach, to convince the manager of the validity of your research​ technique, logic, and reasoning.

Explanation:

There are two forms of presenting formal reports. The direct report shows the central idea of the report at first and the supporting ideas at the end. This is more frequently used for business purposes. The indirect report portraits the supporting ideas or evidence at first and comes up with the central idea at the end.

<em>As a new employee presenting a report about customer service issues, it is better to select the indirect approach because by giving the supporting evidence at first, your manager will have the objective ideas clearly stated and is likely to understand why the new employee got to his or her conclusions. Some managers consider reporting the central ideas at first could be a signal of arrogance.</em>

valina [46]

Hello there!

Your answer would be Both Technicians A and B

The reason why "both technicians" would be the correct answer is because in order for the break shoes to work properly, it would need to touch the anchor pin.

In order for it to touch the anchor pin, the brake shoes must be the correct size, and the cable that is used for the parking brakes must be loosened. The cable for the parking brakes can't be too tight, or it will pull the break shoe more downwards and not allow it to touch the anchor pin. The brake shoe could be used on things like cars, boats, and other automotive things. Both technicians give valid reasons on what to do to fix the brake shoe. This is the reason why both technicians would be correct.
