You are 30 years old today and are considering studying for an MBA. You just received your annual salary of $50,000 and expect i

t to grow by 3% per year. MBA typically earns $80,000 upon graduation, with salaries growing by 4% per year. The MBA program you are considering is a full-time, 2-year day program that costs $30,000 per year, payable at the end of each study year. You want to retire on your 65th birthday. The relevant discount rate is 8%\.\* Is it worthwhile for you to quit your job in order to do an MBA (ignore income taxes)? * Meaning: Your MBA is an investment like any other investment. On other investments, you can earn 8% per year, the MBA has to be judged against this standard.

Answer:

Yes, you should take the MBA because the NPV of taking the MBA is positive.

Explanation:

the total economic costs of taking the MBA program include the lost wages + the costs of taking the MBA and any interest you could have earned by investing it on something else = ($50,000 x 1.03) + ($50,000 x 1.03²) + (2 x $30,000 x 1.08) = $51,500 + $53,045 + $64,800 = $169,345

the present value of your total economic costs:

$51,500/1.08 + $53,045/1.08² + $32,400/1.08 + $32,400/1.08² = $47,685.19 + $45,477.54 + $30,000 + $27,777.78 = $150,940.51

if you continued to work, your salary at year 3 would be $54,636.35 and it would continue to increase by 3% every year. The salary that you can earn with an MBA is $80,000 and it will grow by 4% per year. I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate future salaries and the differential amount between them. Then I calculated the PV at the beginning of year 3 of the differential income.

The PV of the differential income today = $560,281.31 /1.08³ = $444,769.38

the NPV of taking an MBA = $444,769.38 - $150,940.51 = $293,828.87

When p = $5, the quantity demanded of a good is 30 units, and the quantity supplied of the good is 50 units. For every $1 decrea
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: Equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40 units.

Explanation:

Demand equation is given by,

Qd= a-bP When P=$5, Qd=30 30 = a – 5b Change in Quantity demanded =  Change in a – (b Change in P) 5 = 0 – b(-1) b=5 So, a = 55

Therefore the demand equation is given by, Qd= 55 – 5P

Supply equation is given by

Qs= c + dP When P=$5, Qs = 50 50 = c + 5d Change in Quantity supplied = Change in c + d(Change in P) -5 = 0 + d(-1) d=5 So, c=25

Therefore, the supply equation is given by,  

Qs= 25 + 5P

Equilibrium is given by

Qd=Qs 55 – 5P= 25 + 5P 30=10P P=$3 And  Equilibrium quantity is, Q= 55 – 5(3) = 55 – 15 = 40 units.

3. If a balance sheet were prepared for Pala Medical Co. on June 30, 20Y1 the amount to be reported as cask is $166,436  

Explanation:

1. The balance shown by the bank statement seldom agree with the balance shown by the cash book, bank reconciliation statement is usually drawn up to  agree the balance shown by the bank statement with the balance shown by the cash book.

In this question:

a. Check  outstanding of $19,427 are checks issued to creditors which where not presented for payment. generally known as unpresented checks.

b. The receipts of $12,300 recorded in Pala Medical Co. cash book was not credited by the bank, this will obviously cause a disagreement between the bank statement and the cash book at month end.

c. The amount of $26,500 recorded in the bank statement must be reported correctly the the cash book and the relevant ledger by debiting the cash book by the total receipt of $26,500 and crediting investment and with $25,000 and crediting the interest elements to interest income account.

d. The wrong recording of $400 instead of $4000 must be corrected by reversing the initial entry. this is done by debiting Cash book with $400 and crediting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $400   and recording the correct entry by debiting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $4000 and crediting cash book by $4000.

e. The check of $195 is recorded correctly already in the cash book, it is the bank to pass the necessary entry but it will only enter the company cash book.

f. Bank service charge should be recorded by debiting bank charges with $55 and crediting cash book with $55
