eimsori [14]

Answer:

both companies should invest because the NPV of both companies are positive

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

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = - $8.4 million

Cash flow in year 1-7 = $2.2 million

NPV of Lester with I of 15.8% = 0.54 million

NPV of Med Inc with I of 13.7% = 1.12 million

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.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) has a significant effect on the unemployment rate since a large part of the labor force earns the minimum wage.

Explanation:

The minimum wage law ensures that all employees have a minimum income to live with dignity. Although there is a big debate among economists, the liberal current suggests that the minimum wage law has a major impact on the unemployment rate, especially among the poorest. According to these economists, the minimum wage is instituted above the productivity level of most people, which causes companies to lose efficiency. If wages were fluctuating, according to market law, more workers would probably be hired for wages tied to their productivity. Therefore, among the options, the first seems to be the most correct.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The statement that says that in the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task is false because the effort is the time a person needs to finish a task while the duration is the period of time that a person has to finish it. For example, an employee has a task that takes forty hours of work to finish it but he has a month to do it. In this case, the effort is forty hours but the task duration is one month.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Since the production center is available for 8 hours per day in a factory, and the worker operating it is required to lubricate these rotary parts once each day.

If it takes 2 hours to remove these parts from the equipment, lubricate them, and re-assemble them and the production center is not available for production during these times;

Then the availability of the production center is 75% which is derived by : [8 hours total - 2 hours downtime / 8 hours total availability] x 100 = 75%
