Answer:

4 years

Yes

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flow.

Cash inflow for the period = Net income + Net cash deductions (depreciation expenses)

$60,800 + $19,200 = $80,000

Payback period = amount invested / cash inflow

$320,000 / $80,000 = 4 years

If the payback period is five years or less, the project would be accepted because the amount invested would be recovered in 4 years. Therefore, the company would purchase the new games.

Sue plans to mix peppermints worth $1.20 per lb with chocolates worth $2.40 per lb to get a 40 lb mix that is worth $1.65 per lb

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48 (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting (Eq. 2) from (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

Check

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66

The saying "leaving money on the table" is associated with a predatory pricing strategy that results in excessive seasonal disco

andrew11 [14]

It is associated with using a market penetration strategy when there is an opportunity for price skimming. Leaving money on the table means that during a business deal or negotiation one of the parties does not receive the amount of money they could have earned, instead they accept a smaller sum. This strategy can be beneficial or hurtful depending on the scenario.
