Answer:

a) Limited liability company

Explanation:

Limited liability company is one of the specific types of business structure that is followed in the United States. This structure excludes the partners or the owners to possess the liabilities of the debts and liabilities of the company. This will help the partners limiting the liabilities. An agreement is made which helps in the protection of the liabilities. The owners' personal assets are separated from the asset of the company thereby reducing the debts and liabilities.

In the given excerpt, the best advice to be given to the partners, Dave, Dan, and Darwin as an advisor would be to adopt a limited liability company. This would help them not to keep their personal assets in stake for their business.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The rate of change in 6 months is 14.87%

Explanation:

Let a be the amount that the money is multiplied in one month. We know that in 30 months it is multiplied by 2, so if we power a by 30 wew obtain 2:

a³⁰ = 2

Thus, 2 = a³⁰ = a⁶*⁵ = (a⁶)⁵

(here we use the propiety a^bc = (a^b)^c = (a^c)^b)

We can conclude that a⁶ = 2^(1/5) = 1.1487

The rate in 6 months is (1.1487-1)*100 = 14.87%

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

$490

Explanation:

Let xR be the revenue function

xR = (4 + 0.2(x))(100 - 2x) = 400 + 12x - 2x²/5

Maximum revenue occurs when xR = 0:

xR = 12 - 4x/5 = 0

x = 15

Admission price = 4 + (0.2*15) = 4 + 3 = $7

Max revenue = $7 * (100 - (15*2) = 7 *70  = $490

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $276,000, has a three-year life, and has pr
kramer

Answer:

Techron I

-$154,842

Techron II

-$144,981

Explanation:

Techron I

Cash Flow From Year 1 to Year 3

Pretax operating costs             ($75,000)

Depreciation ($276,000 / 3)   <u>($92,000)</u>

Profit before tax                       ($167,000)

Tax (21% x $167,000)                <u>$35,070</u>

Profit after tax                           ($131,930)

Add back Depreciation            <u>$92,000</u>

Cash Flow after tax                   (<u>$39,930)</u>

Terminal Value = Salvage value - Tax = $52,000 - ($52,000 x 21%) = $41,080

NPV = ($276,000) + [ (39,930) x (1+12%)^-1] + [ (39,930) x (1+12%)^-2] + [ (39,930) x (1+12%)^-3] = ($276,000) + ($35,652) + ($31,832) + ($28,421) = ($371,905)

EAC = NPV/(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

EAC = -371,905 / ( 1 - ( 1 + 12% )^-3/12% = -$154,842

Techron II

Cash Flow From Year 1 to Year 3

Pretax operating costs             ($48,000)

Depreciation ($480,000 / 5)   <u>($96,000)</u>

Profit before tax                       ($144,000)

Tax (21% x $167,000)                <u>$30,240</u>

Profit after tax                           ($113,760)

Add back Depreciation            <u>$96,000</u>

Cash Flow after tax                   (<u>$17,746)</u>

Terminal Value = Salvage value - Tax = $52,000 - ($52,000 x 21%) = $41,080

NPV = ($480,000) + [ (17,746) x (1+12%)^-1] + [ (17,746) x (1+12%)^-2] + [ (17,746) x (1+12%)^-3] = ($480,000) + ($15,845) + ($14,147) + ($12631) = ($522,623)

EAC = NPV/(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

EAC = -522,623 / ( 1 - ( 1 + 12% )^-5/12% = -$144,981
