Answer:

The IRR is 10%.

Explanation:

a) Calculation of Internal Rate of Return (IRR):

We choose a discount rate, say 10% and use it to discount the cash flows to their present values.  If the net present value (NPV) of all the cash flows equals zero, then that discount rate is accepted as the IRR.

b) Without 10% discount rate, the discount factors are for:

1st year = 1.1 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 1

2nd year = 1.21 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 2

3rd year = 1.331 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 3

c) These discount factors will divide the cash inflows for each year:

1st year, NPV = $15,364/1.1 = $13,967.27

2nd year, NPV = $15,364/1.21 = $12,697.52

3rd year, NPV = $15,364/1.331 = $11,543.20

Total NPV of inflows                 = $38,209 approximately

NPV of outflows                         -$38,209

NPV of inflows and outflows      $0

So, the IRR is 10%.

IRR is a capital budgeting metric to measure profitability by using a discount rate which makes the net present value of all cash flows to become zero.  To get a suitable rate, trial and error is involved, or one can make use of educated best guess.

Suppose that germany decides to become self-sufficient in bananas and even to export them. in order to accomplish this, large ta
Vinvika [58]

Germany does not have a comparative advantage, which is the ability to do something better or more efficiently that someone else. Even though they are producing bananas, the industry is artificially supported by the tax incentives and not because Germany is an amazing banana-growing location.

The consequences for the economy are lost opportunity costs that could be producing things where they <em>do </em>have a comparative advantage (cars, for example). Another consequence is that the tax money could be better spent on other things.

PrimeFlix sells one-year online subscriptions for viewing classic movies. Customers are required to pay for the subscription at
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

$3,000

Explanation:

Given that,

On April 1, 2021, total sales of one-year subscriptions = $12,000

Total number of months for which subscription is received = 12 months

Months Relating to year 2022 for which subscription received on 1 April 2021:

= From January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022

= 3 Months

Deferred revenue is for the three months.

Therefore, the adjusted balance of Deferred Revenue on December 31, 2021 is as follows:

= Amount of subscriptions received × Time period

= $12,000 × (3 ÷ 12)

= $3,000
