Mr. Smith at Acme Production, Inc. is trying to determine the true economic value (TEV) for a new computerized machine. This mac

hine costs $20 per hour to operate and can be used for a year before it needs to be replaced. A system crash costs $500,000, and the probability that the machine will crash is 5%. The next-best alternative has a price of $150,000. It can also be used for a year and costs $15 per hour to operate. The cost of a system crash for this alternative is also $500,000, and the probability that it will crash is 15%. Acme plans to operate this machine 8 hours per day, 365 days, over the next year. The true economic value (TEV) of the machine is: $185,400. $175,000. $154,000. $210,400.

Answer:

$185,400

Explanation:

Price of next best alternative = $150,000

Expected crash system saving:

= (Probability of crash × cost of a system crash) - (Probability of machine will crash × cost of a system crash)

= [(15% × 500,000) - (5% × 500,000)]

= $75,000 - $25,000

= $50,000

Added operating cost true economic value:

= (Number of hours in 365 days × machine cost per hour) - (Number of hours in 365 days × Next best alternative cost per hour)

= [(2,920 × $20/hr) - (2,920 × $15/hr)]

= $58,400 - $43,800

= $14,600

True economic value (TEV) of the machine:

= Price of next best alternative + Expected crash system saving - Added operating cost true economic value

= $150,000 + $50,000 - $14,600

= $185,400

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: For markets to work, people must be free to pursue their self-interest.

Explanation:

To begin with, Adam Smith was a Scottish economist, philosopher and author known as ''The Father os Economics'' and whose works established the basics of today's economics.

To continue, in Smith's most known classic work, ''An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations'', he established the concept called the <u><em>''invisible hand''</em></u><u> </u>that states that <u><em>in order to the economy to work properly, the people must be free to pursue their self-interest products without no restrictions from the government</em></u>.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The net income for Year 2 is $ 114,482

Explanation:

Accounting Equation is used in order to calculate the closing capital figure of Year 1 and Year 2:

Assets=Liabilities + Equity.

we can rearrange the formula as Assets-Liabilities = Equity

  • So in Year 1. the closing capital is: $910,049-$274,794 = $635,255.
  • In Year 2. the closing capital is : $988,160-$234,792 = $ 753,368

Now we can construct an equation to drive net income of year to by means of balancing figure:

Opening capital year 1:            $635,255

+ Additional Capital in Year 2: $28,651

-Drawing in year 2:                   $(25,020)

Net Income(Balancing figure)   <u>$114,482</u>              

Closing Capital Year 2:            $ 753,368
