Answer:

The correct answer is D) Top management

Explanation:

Top management, as the name implies, consists of those who are at the highest point in the management hierarchy. The most common positions that are part of top managament are, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Chief Strategist Officer (CSO). They are usually part of the Board of Directors, which answers to the shareholders.

Their task is, as the question specifies, to define the general policy of the company, including goals and strategies to achieve those goals. In a way, companies are just like nations, they have top executives like the president or the president of the senate, who define the direction in which the company/country will go.

Taggart Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the projects payback? Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flo
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The period of payback of the project is 2.30 years. Therefore, the correct answer is C

Explanation:

We will computing the Cumulative Cash Flow from Year 0 to Year 3

Cumulative Cash Flow Year 0 = Cash Flow of Year 0

= -$1,150

Cumulative Cash Flow of Year 1 = Cash Flow of Year 1 + Cash Flow of Year 0

= $500 + (-$1,150)

= -$650

Cumulative Cash Flow of Year 2 =  Cash Flow of Year 2 + Cumulative Cash Flow Cash Flow of Year 1

= $500 + (-$650)

= -$150

Cumulative Cash Flow of Year 3 =  Cash Flow of Year 3 + Cumulative Cash Flow Cash Flow of Year 2

= $500 + (-$150)

= $350

Now, Computing the Pay back period with the formula:

Pay back period = 2 + (Cumulative Cash Flow of year 2 / Cash flow of year 3)

= 2 + (-$150/ $500)

= 2 +  0.3

= 2.3 years

Darya [45]
Increasing marginal returns is the increase of output when there is an addition of variable input aside from the fixed input over a short period. Diminishing returns is the decrease of output when there is an incremental increase of one production factor while other factors remained constant.

Suppose the economy is producing at the natural rate of output. An increase in consumer and business confidence will cause _____
Leokris [45]

Answer:

d) no change; a decrease

Explanation:

The Real GDP (gross domestic product) is a macroeconomic term which is the measurement of the value of services and goods produced by economy in a certain or specific time period compared to normal GDP.  The influencer elements of Real GDP are very miscellaneous due to long run and short run periods. Then, the determinants which impact on the long run growth of an economy are:

1) Growth of productivity that means the ratio of economic outputs to inputs

2)Demographic changed that means the change of quantity or quality of employment, age structure and etc.

3)Labor Force participation which means that which amount participation there is in labor activities.

As seen above, the consumer and business confidence will not have any positive or negative effect on the real GDP.

Inflation is one of the most important macroeconomic indicator that intends the rate how the purchase power of the money is falling  by the rising on the price levels of goods and services. In long run, the most influencing element for inflation is the rate of money supply but if we consider business and consumer confidence are the positive things for the developing of GDP, then they will have a little bit decrease effect on inflation.

RuthAnn is 28 years old and is retiring at the age of 65. When she retires, she estimates that she will need an annual income of
inessss [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

From her current age of 28 to her retirement age of 65, RuthAnn has (65 - 28 =) 37 more years to work.

If she saves 11% of her annual income of $36,278.13 into a 401(k), she will be setting aside (11% * 36,278.13 =) $3,990.59 into the 401(k) account annually.

At 7.1% compounding rate, in 37 years, RuthAnn would have set aside an amount estimated by the future value of an annuity formula.

FV = \frac{A(1+r)^{n} - 1}{r}

where FV is the future value, the amount that would have been set aside,

A = is the annual savings,

r = is the compounding rate, and

n = is the number of years.

Therefore, the total amount that would be saved up after 37 years =

FV = \frac{3,990.59(1+0.071)^{37} - 1}{0.071}

= (3,990.59 * 11.6535)/0.071

= $654,990.31.

By spending $32,523 annually from an account earning 7.1% compound interest rate for 30 years, the present value of the total amount needed by RuthAnn today that will be sufficient for her retirement spending can be estimated using the present value of an annuity formula.

PV = \frac{A(1 - (1+r)^{-n}}{r}

= PV = \frac{32,523(1 - (1.071)^{-30}}{0.071}

= (32523 * 0.8723)/0.071

= $399,574.83.

Since the amount saved up ($654,990.31) is more than the total amount required for RuthAnn's retirement ($399,574.83), RuthAnn has more than sufficient to meet her Retirement goal.

Specifically, the amount she has saved up can support a maximum annual spending which can be estimated from the present value of an annuity formula.

PV = \frac{A(1 - (1+r)^{-n}}{r}

where PV = the amount saved up, $654,990.31,

A = the annual spending which we are estimating,

r = the 7.1% compound interest rate,

n = the number of years to retirement.

654,990.31 = \frac{A(1 - (1.071)^{-30}}{0.071}

= 654,990.31 = (A * 0.8723)/0.071

= A = 654,990.31/0.8723 * 0.071

= A = 53,312.29

Thus, the amount saved up can support a maximum retirement spending of $53,312.29, which is higher than the $32,523 annual income needed by RuthAnn for her retirement.
