Answer:

A. 2.2 years

B. 3.6 years

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Payback = amount invested / annual cash flows

Payback period is calculated using cash flows. So, the net income has to be changed to cash flows by adding back depreciation.

For the first machine

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - salvage value) / number of years

( $520,000 - $10,000) / 6 = $85,000

Cash flow = $85,000 + $150,000 = $235,000

For the second machine, depreciation = ( $380,000 - $20,000) / 8 = $45,000

Cash flow = $45,000 + $60,000 = $105,000

Payback period for machine a = $520,000 / $235,000 = 2.2 years

Pay back period For machine b =

$380,000 / $105,000 = 3.6 years

If price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in t

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

produce at an economic loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P=MR=MC and P=AC.

Hence, if price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in the short run, a perfectly competitive firm will produce at an economic loss.

Additionally, Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.

Golden has a receivable due in 30 days for 30,000 euros. The treasurer is concerned that the value of the euro relative to the d

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The answer is c. Enter into a forward contract to sell 30,000 euros in 30 days

Explanation:

The risk Golden is facing is the exchange rate risk. Specially, as of the firm's concern, 30,00 euros they will receive in 30 days will not be worth as much as it is now because the Euro is expected to be depreciated against the firm's domestic currency.

So, they may enter into a forward contract allowing them to sell 30,000 euros in 30 days ( take short position in Euro) at pre-determined exchange rate. By doing so, they effectively eliminate the exchange rate risk by lock-in the exchange rate at the day they receive 30,000 euro.
