Answer:

The correct answer is (d) when you have a small, experienced team assigned to work on the project .

Explanation:

Agile project management is a project management methodology that is defined by its signature iterative and incremental approach to achieving requirements throughout the project life cycle. Its particularly suited for small dynamic projects and relies heavily on teamwork.

Traditional project management is a project methodology that emphasizes on a sequential predetermined approach to the project life cycle. The procedures to be followed throughout every phase of the project's life is already laid out. Changes to the laid down plan are not anticipated.This project management style is preferred for larger projects.

In conclusion,when you have a small, experienced team assigned to work on the project then you should utilize the agile project management style. Since the team is small, they are more suited to handle a smaller or medium project and will have to rely more on their teamwork to ensure project success. A traditional project management approach would require a bigger team whose experience wouldn't add any substantial edge since the project plan is already laid out. Additionally, a traditional project management approach is inherently personnel intensive, whereas the available personnel is smaller.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Presence or threat of trade barriers

Explanation:

If a company sees that a specific country has a presence or threat of trade barriers, the company will prefer to invest directly in foreign companies, instead of exporting.

This is because trade barriers, like tariffs or import quotas, will likely reduce the potential revenue that the company would get from exporting. It could reduce revenue so much as to make the company lose money.

Economists say that individuals make decisions at the margin. What does its menas?

leva [86]

Answer:

When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.

Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.

If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.

Answer:

The present value index is 0.91 which is less than 1. So, the investment should not be accepted.

Explanation:

Present Value Index : It shows the ratio between the sum of present value of all years cash inflows after applying the discount rate and initial investment.

In mathematically,

Present value index = Sum of present value of all years cash flows with discount rate ÷ Initial Investment

where,

Present value = Net cash flow × Discount rate

So,

Year 1 = $180,000 × 0.909 = $163,620

Year 2 = $120,000 × 0.826 = $99,120

Year 3 = $100,000 × 0.751 = $75,100

Year 4 = $90,000 × 0.683 = $61,470

Year 5 = $90,000 × 0.621 = $55,890

Now, Sum all the yearly cash inflows which equals to

= $163,620 + $99,120 + $75,100 + $61,470 + $55,890

= $455,200

So, the present value index = $455,200 ÷ $500,000 = 0.91

Hence, the present value index is 0.91 which is less than 1. So, the investment should not be accepted.

Dr Bond payable $100000

Dr Bond premium $1000

Cr Common stock $101000
