Answer:

The store manager must decide to buy 3

Explanation:

Given that:

  • The first:  $200 a year
  • The second $150
  • The third $75,
  • The fourth $50
  • Interest rate is 12 percent
  • Investment: $500

As we know that the rate of return will be: Income / Investment

So the rate of return of:

  • The first:  $200 / $500 = 0.4 = 40%
  • The second $150 / $500 = 0,3 = 30%
  • The third $75 / $500 = 0.15 = 15%
  • The fourth $50 / $500 = 0.1 = 10%

Only three rug cleaners have the rate of return greater than the interest rate so the store manager must decide to buy 3

"In using the net present value approach, a project is acceptable if the project's net present value is ____________ or_________
nignag [31]

Answer:

Zero or Positive.

Explanation:

The project should be accepted if the NPV (net present value) is “zero” or “positive” because the zero value means that the project will not be in loss. However, the positive value shows that the project will give profit. But if there is a negative value of net present value then it reflects that the project is giving a loss. Therefore, the project with negative NPV must be rejected. And the project that has zero net present value or positive net present value should be accepted.

Tom [10]

Answer: Positive.

Explanation:

Suppose there are two related goods, i.e, Good A and Good B.

Cross price elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of demand for Good A if there is a change in the price of its related good, i.e, Good B.

Now, we are talking about gasoline and public transportation, suppose if there is increase in the price of gasoline then it will be costlier for the people to drive their own cars, as a result demand for public transportation increases.

There is a positive relationship between the gasoline and public transportation.

Hence, cross-price elasticity of demand between gasoline and public transportation is Positive.
