The answer to this question is a problem.
Problem is a situation that everybody encounters that is needed for a solution or a specific result. Problems cannot be ignored or avoided, a person should should know how to solve it and deal with the problem once it hits you. In order to deal with problems, a person should always focus on the outcome and the possible solution to it.
Answer:
they are dependent on situational probabilities
Explanation:
Arturo's decision about which torch to purchase is being made under conditions of ambiguity , because: they are dependent on other factors.
The decision making is not certainty because his decision on which torch to buy is dependent on probabilities neither is it uncertain because we have information on probabilities of what the outcome might be.
Hence the decision making is ambiguous because it is between certain and uncertain and its outcome is dependent on the probabilities of having a discount or not.
Answer:
4.76%
Explanation:
The requirement in this question is determining the discount rate which gives the same present value in both cases since discount rates discount future cash flows to present value terms.
PV of a pertuity=annual cash flow/discount rate
PV of a pertuity=$17,000/r
PV of ordinary annuity=annual cash flow*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV of ordinary annuity=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
$17,000/r=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
multiply boths side by r
17000=30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18
divide both sides by 30000
17000/30000=1-(1+r)^-18
0.566666667=1-(1+r)^-18
by rearraging the equation we have the below
(1+r)^-18=1-0.566666667
(1+r)^-18=0.433333333
divide indices on both sides by -18
1+r=(0.433333333)^(1/-18)
1+r=1.047554315
r=1.047554315-1
r=4.76%
