Answer:

Project A should be accepted as it has less payback period

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

For Project A

In year 0 = $1,000

In year 1 = $600

In year 2 = $300

In year 3 = $200

In year 4 = $100

In year 5 = $500

If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $900

Now we deduct the $900 from the $1,000 , so the amount would be $100 as if we added the third year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $200

So, the payback period equal to

= 2 years + $100 ÷ $200

= 2.5 years

For Project B

In year 0 = $10,000

In year 1 = $5,000

In year 2 = $3,000

In year 3 = $3,000

In year 4 = $3,000

In year 5 = $3,000

If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $8,000

Now we deduct the $8,000 from the $10,000 , so the amount would be $2,000 as if we added the third year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $3,000

So, the payback period equal to

= 2 years + $2,000 ÷ $3,000

= 2.67 years

For Project C

In year 0 = $5,000

In year 1 = $1,000

In year 2 = $1,000

In year 3 = $2,000

In year 4 = $2,000

In year 5 = $2,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $4,000

Now we deduct the $4,000 from the $5,000 , so the amount would be $1,000 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $2,000

So, the payback period equal to

= 3 years + $1,000 ÷ $2,000

= 3.5 years

So, Project A should be accepted as it has less payback period

Risks of fixed costs of a business are more for an alliance than an independent firm.
frosja888 [35]
False. Risks of fixed costs of a business are more for an alliance than an independent firm. Businesses have risks and without any risk, comes a smaller reward. Taking a risk often yields a larger profit and room to grow/expand. Fixed costs are are costs that stay constant no matter the quantity of goods or service produced.

Synergy will ______ the sales of existing products.
patriot [66]

Synergy will <u>increase</u> the sales of existing products.

Synergy refers to the concept where two companies will combine their  value and performance and they will be greater than the sum of the separate individual parts. Thus, these two companies can merge to create greater efficiency or scale.

Through synergy individuals or entities combine their efforts and resources to accomplish more collectively than they could individually. This practice eventually results in increased productivity, efficacy, and performance. Synergy is seen to be reflected on a company's balance sheet through the company's goodwill account.

Hence, in addition to merging with another company, a company also creates synergy by combining products or markets.
