Answer:

a/ 20 days per year on average

b/ The use of road salt to is an effective deicer method. However, it will eventually causes some harmful impact on the environment including but not limited to increasing in water/soild salinity, contamination of public drinking waters, destroy the soild structure and slowly killing of trees and plants. Luckily, there are some other options which are more environment-friendly such as Cheese brine, Sand, Urea, Beet molasses

Explanation:

a/ To evaluate the investment of the new snowplow, denote X is the average amount of saving per a year as the new snowplow is used.

    Consider the average amount of saving as an annuity for the next 12 years, with the discount rate of 14%. The present value (PV) = 45,000 - 2,500/1.14^(-12) =$44,481.1

   Thus, to obtain the rate of return of 14%, PV of the annuity should be equals to $44,481.1 meaning: 44,481.1= (X/14%) x [ 1 - 1.14^(-12)] <=> X = $7858.44

   As one day use would save Ithaca $400, to achieve the targeted saving of $7858.44, the city has to use the snowplow at least 20 days per year ( 7858.44/400)

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: $8,391.90

Explanation:

So the company borrowed $40,000 from a bank.

They are to pay 7% interest on the note per year for 6 years.

We are to find the annual payments.

7% represents a constant payment schedule per year so we can use an Annuity formula.

Seeing as the Annuity factor has been calculated for us already we don't need to formula though.

The present value of an annuity factor for 6 years at 7% is 4.7665.

Calculating the present value of the annual payment can be done as follows,

= Amount / PVIFA (Present Value Interest Factor for an Annuity)

= 40,000/4.7665

= 8391.90181475

= $8,391.90

The annual payments equal $8,391.90.

belka [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cash flow is a measure of the available cash and cash equivalent for operation in a business year.It has to be positive to generate value for investors and also to remain in business.

Profit is defined as the excess of income over expenses.

We need to know that profit are calculated on accrual basis, which means that income are recorded when earned and expenses recorded when incurred. In a situation where most sales are on account , i.e no instant cash payment and most expenses are on cash basis, this could cause a deficit in the cash flow volume. The level of inventory held could also lead to a negative cash flow despite a profitable operation if it is too high.
