Answer:
The alternative that should be chosen assuming identical replacement is:
Alternative B.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Alternatives:
A B
First Cost $5,000 $9,200
Uniform Annual Benefit $1,750 $1,850
Useful life, in years 4 8
Rate of return 7% 7%
Annuity factor 3.387 5.971
Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35
Net cash flow $927.25 $1,846.35
b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A. Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.
Answer:
A, independence
Explanation:
Motivation can be defined as the stimulation of individuals to achieve a certain goal.
It can also be said to be the a force that drives the wants, needs, etc of an individual. Motivation have various influencing factors as well as several modes.
Factors that influences motivation include; valence, instrumentality, expectancy, etc.
Modes of motivation include; intrinsic, extrinsic, introjected and identified motivation.
From the above question, independence isn't a factor that influences motivation. This is because independence, according to the dictionary, can be said to be a state of freedom from something.
Freedom does not motivate a person to achieve anything as there will be no pressure or driving force or even an individual to encourage. This makes goals impossible to difficult to achieve.
Cheers.
