Answer:
Being self-sufficient dramatically reduces one's standard of living.
Explanation:
Thoreau had a view that one should go into the woods, live simply and produce what you need with your own hands (be self-sufficient).
Economists explain why most people in the United States do not do this. To an economist everyone in society have their own specialisation. That is why they emphasize division of labour.
So going into the woods to be self-sufficient is not the best use of one's resources and abilities.
Everyone has something unique to contribute in an interaction. What I have comparative advantage producing will be difficult for another person.
This will create a network of people giving what they have comparative advantage producing in exchange for goods and services they do not have competitive advantage producing. This results in everyone maximising utility.
But Thoreau's view will not maximise utility because it is not possible you have advantage producing all you need.
Answer:
a. fixed cost
Explanation:
Rent is always negotiated and stated in the tenancy or lease agreement. The lease or tenancy agreement is reviewed either annually or after every two years. The rent amounts remain the same until the time a tenancy agreement is reviewed.
Fixed costs are the business expenses that remain the same throughout the financial period. A business has to incur fixed costs as long as the business is operational. The level of business activity or output does not affect fixed costs. Rent is a good example of fixed costs. A business has the pay the same amount of rent regardless of its production level.
Answer:
$50.47
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = - ($678 + $58 ) = -736
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $173
Cash flow in year 5 = $173 + $144
I = 8.1
NPV = 50.47
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
John kotters theory consist of 8 steps processes for leading change.
Change is hard.
Especially if we wanted to change something that deeply immersed in our habit. Florence and her team cannot just tell and force the staff to change. They have to be patient and implement the correct ways to the changes in order for it to be happen.
Answer:
Value of the bond = $862.013
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment and the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of the bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
<em>Calculate the PV of Interest payment
</em>
Present value of the interest payment
PV = Interest payment × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
Interest payment = $40
PV = 40 × (1 - (1.05)^(-12×2)/0.05)
= 40 × 13.7986
= 551.945
Step 2
<em>PV of redemption Value
</em>
PV of RV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
= 1000 × (1.05)^(-12×2)
= 310.067
Step 3
<em>Calculate Value of the bond </em>
= 551.94567 + 310.067
=862.01
Value of the bond = $862.013
