Answer:
What rate of return (IRR) would you earn if you bought this asset?
8,48%
Explanation:
To find the IRR it's necessary to know which is the discount rate that applied to the cash flow of the assets gives a value that compensate the investment of $200,500.
Year 1 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^1 = $92.182
Year 2 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^2 = $35.690
Year 3 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^3 = $41.398
Year 4 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^4 = $31.230
Total Present Value of Cash Flow=
$92.182 + $35.690 + $41.398 + $31.230 = $200,500
There is no way to find the IRR without Excel, the only way is to try with different rates in the current cash flow formula.
I would say C. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Dealer "B" at $5,595.00
Explanation:
Comparison of cost charges for dealer A and dealer B will have to include the one-year maintenance offered by dealer B.
The cost for dealer A will be
maintenance for one year= $75 x 12= $900
cost of the car= $4,995.00.
total cost for dealer A
= $4,995.00 + $900
=$5,895
The cost from dealer B is $5,595.
Dealer B has the better deal as they are cheaper by $300
( $5,895- $5,595)
Answer:
c. $191 Favorable
Explanation:
Flexible budget Planning budget Activity variance
Units produced 5,510 units 5,500 units
Revenue $237,481 $237,050
Total Expenses ($207,340) ($207,100)
Net Operating Income $30,141 $29,950 $191 F
<u>Workings</u>
Flexible budget revenue = 5,510 units*$43.10 = $237,481
Planning budget revenue = 5,500 units*$43.10 = $237,050
Flexible budget expenses = $75,100 + $24*5510 = $207,340
Planning budget expenses = $75,100 + $24*5500 = $207,100
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
