What are the pros and con's for the arrive alive campaign?

Elena-2011 [213]

The Arrive Alive campaign was launched to prevent road accidents or at least lessen the instances of accidents due to drunk driving and reckless driving.

The advantages of this campaign are:

1. It promotes awareness among drivers to drive safely.
2. It educates drivers on the rules and safe acts when on the road.

The disadvantages of this campaign are:

1. It does not completely eliminate the risk of accidents due to drunk and reckless driving. It merely 'educates' the drivers about safe acts.
2. It still allows the drivers to drink and drive but at 'allowable alcohol level' which does not help at all.

In the end, the Arrive Alive campaign failed.

Harte Systems, Inc., a maker of electronic surveillance equipment, is considering selling to a well-known hardware chain the rig

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The proposed deal calls for the hardware chain to pay Harte $30,000 and $25,000 at the end of years 1 and 2 and to make an annual year-end payments of $15,000 in years 3 through 9. The final payment to Harte of $10,000 would be due at the end of year 10.

Cash flows:

Year 1= 30,000

Year 2= 25,000

Year 3= 15,000

Year 4= 15,000

Year 5= 15,000

Year 6= 15,000

Year 7= 15,000

Year 8= 15,000

Year 9= 15,000

Year 10= 10,000

2) To calculate the present value we need to use the following formula for each cash flow:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Year 1= 30,000/1.12= 26,785.71

Year 2= 25,000/1.12= 22,321.43

Year 3= 15,000/1.12= 13,392.86

....

Year 10= 10,000/1.12^10= 3,219.73

PV= $104,508.27

3) The present value of cash inflows is higher than $100,000. It is more convenient to decline the $100,000.
