Answer:

12.3 hours

Explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the average time to produce a unit:

y = aQ^b

y = Average time to produce one unit.

a = Time necessary to produce the first unit.

Q = Cumulative production in units.

b = Learning rate which is calculated using: log (percentage learning rate)/log 2.

In this case, we have to start by calculating b:

b= Log0,87/log2= -0.139/0.693= -0.200

Then, we have that a= 17 and Q=5 and replace this on the formula for the average time to produce one unit:

y= 17* 5^-0.200

y= 17*0,724= 12,3

According to this, the average labor hours required per unit to produce five units is 12.3 hours.

The initial price for a stadium is $800,000,000. There will be a 2% adjustment to the price, and $85,000,000 of revenue from the

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

NPV = $246764705.88

Explanation:

The net present value of the stadium can be calculated by deducting the present value of cash outflow from the present value of cash inflow.

DATA

Initial price = $800,000,000

Revenue from sale of previous equipment = $85,000,000

Goverment provided fund to discount the price = $300,000,000

Discount factor for year 1 at 2% = 0.9804

Future Cash inflow = $675,000,000

Solution

NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows

NPV = $661,764,705.88 - $415,000,000

NPV = $246,764,706

Working

PV of Cash inflow = $675,000,000 x 0.9804

PV of cash inflow = $661,764,706

PV of Cash outflow = Initial price - Revenue form sale - Goverment fund

PV of cash outflow = $800,000,000 - $85,000,000 - $300,000,000

PV of cash outflow = $415,000,000

The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

MIRR -16.50%

They should reject the project is it destroys capital it do not meet to pay up the cost of the investment.

A typical firm’s IRR will be greater than its MIR

If the project yields higher than the cost of capital the IRR will be higher than the MIRR as reinvest the cashflow at the project yield rather than copany's cost of capital, thus it overstate the return.

Explanation:

$MIRR = \sqrt{\frac{FV \: inflow}{PV \: outflow}} -1$

WACC (cost of capital, reinvestment and financiation rate) = 7%

<em>Cash inflow:</em>

$Inflow \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount$

Year 1 275000 336,886.825

Year 3 450000 481500

Year 4 450000 450000

Total 1,268,386.825

<em>Cash outflow:</em>

F= -2,500,000

Year 2 -125000 - 109, 179.841

$\frac{125,000}{(1 + 0.07)^{2} } = PV$

Total 2,609,179.841

Now we can solve for MIRR:

$MIRR = \sqrt[n]{\frac{FV \: inflow}{PV \: outflow}} -1$

$MIRR = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1,268,386.82}{2,609,179.84}} -1$

MIRR - 16.49991% = -16.50%

Samuel, a longtime employee of the ABCD Corporation, was injured when he fell off a ladder while stocking widgets at ABDC at the

ozzi

Answer:

Option B. He will win

Explanation:

If Samuel is desiring to sue his employer in a circuit court because he thinks that the employer was negligent then he will have to sue under negligence Act, which says that the employer is obliged to take all necessary precautions and if found negligent then the court may apply contributory negligent theory as well as comparative negligent theory. These two negligent theories means that the employer was partly responsible for injury, which means that this would result in compensation to Samuel.

Hence it is more likely that Samuel will win the case.
