True or false: When a capital investment decision is being made between two or more alternatives, the project with the shortest

payback period is always the most desirable investment.

Flura [38]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The payback period refers to the specific period of time that it is required to recover the amount invested and it is an important factor to take into account but the project with the shortest payback period is not necessarily the most desirable investment because other factors are also considered, for example, the expected profit and the conditions in the environment that may affect the assumptions made. Because of that, the answer is that the statement is false.

If you work your entire life, then you will be adequately prepared for retirement, even without a retirement plan in place.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

  all are False

Explanation:

1. Working in the US does nothing to ensure you will have an adequate retirement benefit. Social security may provide a little income, but usually won't pay the rent.

2. 403(b) plans may be offered by some tax-exempt organizations--not by corporations. Corporations may offer a 401(k) plan.

3. IRA stands for "Individual Retirement Account."

4. It is a good idea to invest in a retirement account at a young age so you can take advantage of interest compounding. Using the money for anything other than retirement is not recommended.
