Bradshaw Inc. is contemplating a capital investment of $88,000. The cash flows over the project’s four years are: Year Expected
Yuri [45]

Answer:  3.50 years

Explanation:

The Payback period is a method of checking the viability of a project. It measures how long it will take a project to pay back it's initial investment.

Formula is;

= Year before payback + Cash remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of payback

Year 1 Net Cash Inflow

= Cash Inflow - Cash Outflow

= 30,000 - 12,000

= $18,000

Year 2

= 45,000 - 20,000

= $25,000

Year 3

= 60,000 - 25,000

= $35,000

Year 4

= 50,000 - 30,000

= $20,000

Year 1 + 2 + 3

= 18,000 + 25,000 + 35,000

= $78,000

Amount remaining till payback

= Investment - Cash inflow so far

= 88,000 - 78,000

= $10,000

= Year before payback + Cash remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of payback

= 3 + 10,000/20,000

= 3.50 years

posledela

Answer:

monopolist

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a kind of imperfect competition in which specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity.

A monopolist is not very much concerned about the product as customers have no alternatives but to buy that product.

Also, he can change the price or quantity of the product as in an industry he is a single seller .

In the given question, it's given that There is often only one provider of cable television services in each region of the country: Time Warner is in New York, Comcast is in most of New England, and so forth.

So, it would have caused Comcast to become an overly large <u>monopolist</u> with too much power if it buys Time Warner.
