Answer:

The correct answer is D. Profit is the financial gain from business activity minus expenses.

Explanation:

For example a company whose business activity is selling chairs has sold 10 chairs in a month at 10 dollars each which it has bought in 6 dollars (per chair). The company has incurred 5 dollars as admin expenses and had paid 10 dollars to commercial bank as interest. So what is company profit?

Calculation.

The profit will be 25$ as shown below.

Sales                     (10*10) 100

Purchase               (10*6)  (60)

Admin expense                 (5)

Financial expense             (10)

Profit                                   25

Which of the following are characteristics of a perpetuity?
QveST [7]

Answer:

B. The value of a perpetuity is equal to the sum of the present value of its expected future cash flows.

C. The current value of a perpetuity is based more on the discounted value of its nearer (in time) cash flows and less by the discounted value of its more distant (in the future) cash flows.

Explanation:

A Perpetuity is a financial instrument that pays the holder forever or in perpetuity. For example, a bank paying you $800 per year for ever because you invested $40,000.

There are certain characteristics

Option B

The Perpetuity like most financial Securities has its value based on the underlying cashflows that it can accumulate. This means that it's value is based on the present value of it's future cashflow so the other the cash payments, the higher the present value.

Option C.

As the discounted cashflows in the nearer future will be discounted less by the discount rate as opposed to the cash flows further in future, the cashflows nearer to the present in time will contribute more to the Perpetuity than the cashflows further in time.

For example using that first example, $800 per year at a rate of 5% will be discounted to $762 in the first year but in year 10 will be discounted to $491.
