The answer is: D. it has a broad sample, including people who know nothing about the industry.
Any industry consist of three players. The producers, the consumers, and the regulators. Consumers are the one that made the most purchase for the industry and can influence it, but they tend to know nothing or very little with the industry, which is why such sample is needed.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For Alternative A
Cost to buy new machine -$119,000.00
Cash received $55,000.00
Reduction in variable manufacturing cost ($33400 - $23000) ×5 $52,000.00
Total change in net income -$12,000.00
For Alternative B
Cost to buy new machine -$112,000.00
Cash received $55,000.00
Reduction in variable manufacturing cost ($33400 - $10200) × 5 $116,000.00
Total change in net income $59,000.00
So here Xinhong should purchase a machine that belong from Alternative B.
Answer:
Compounding formula would be used here which is as under:
Future Value = Present value * (1+r)^n
FV = (PV is $2000) * ( 1 + 4%)^ 3 number of years
Remember that r is the return that is 4% that Sarah Jones will receive.
So
FV = $2250
So this is the amount that she will receive after three years. I would recommend her to invest in ordinary shares (take higher risk for higher return) so that she is able to buy a better car.
