Answer:

a. 45%

Explanation:

The sum of total probabilities  is always equal to 1. Since in the given question only three probabilities are given, so the sum of these three probabilities shall be 1 which is represented as follows by the equation:

probability of boom+probability of normal+probability of recession=1

In the given question:

probability of boom=30%

probability of recession=25%

30%+probability of normal+25%=1

Probability of normal=1-25%-30%=45%

So based on the above calculations, the answer shall be a. 45%

Neporo4naja [7]

Yes , Judy and Kristy have an enforceable binding contract

Explanation:

Kristy Johnston, Judy Olsen, and Joyce Johnston, their mother, owned real estate as common buyers. After Joyce died, she left Kristy her one-third share in the house. Kristy sent Judy a letter in 2009 promising Judy to purchase or sell Judy's share in the property.  

Judy accepted the sale bid from Kristy. Kristy then tried to refuse Judy's approval and to cancel her bid for sale. Judy lodged a Kristy lawsuit.

The court granted the summary judgment to Judy finding that a contract had been drawn up between the letters exchanged between Judy and Kristy which satisfied the frauds ' status. The Supreme Court ruled that the district court decided out that an enforceable arrangement was established by exchanging letters from the parties.

The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Green Caterpillar's CFO. He hwas now asked yo
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: $‭1,645,379.41‬

Explanation:

The deficiency attached to the Discounted Payback period is that it stops recognizing cashflows after the project is paid off.

Year 1 discounted cash flow = 2,000,000/(1 + 10%) = $1,818,181.82

Year 2 discounted cashflow = 4,250,000 / (1 + 10%)² = $3,512,396.69

Year 3 discounted cashflow = 1,750,000/( 1 + 10%)³ = $1,314,800.90

Amount that Discounted Payback period will not recognize is;

= Cumulated discounted cash flow - Initial cost

= 1,818,181.82 + 3,512,396.69 + 1,314,800.90 - 5,000,000

= $‭1,645,379.41‬
