A. The Celler Kefauver Act of 1950
B. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890

Explanation:

Supplies:

900 balance less 400 at hand = 500 use of supplies during the period.

(if there was purchaseds then we should also add them to the consumed / expensed amount)

Insurance 1,200 is the value of a year we need to know the first month of December which as expired:

1,200 a year / 12 months per year = 100 per month

wages:

5,000 full week

we recognize until Thursday thus 4 days:

5,000 / 5 days per week = 1,000 per day

1,000 per day x 4 days = 4,000 accrued wages and salaries

rest are selft-explanatory and there is no calculation needed

Assume you have two projects with different lives. Project A is expected to generate present value cash flows of $5.2 million an
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

$1,033,190.69 ; better

Explanation:

Given:

Present value of cash flow of Project A (PV) = $5,200,000

Maturity (nper) = 7 years

Required return (rate) = 9%

Annual annuity (pmt) can be computed using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,PV,FV). Substituting the values, we get,

=pmt(0.09, 7, -5200000)

=$1,033,190.69

FV is 0. Present value is negative as it's cash outflow.

Annual annuity of Project A is $1,033,190.69

Project B:

Given:

Present value of cash flow of Project A (PV) = $3,800,000

Maturity (nper) = 5 years

Required return (rate) = 9%

Annual annuity (pmt) can be computed using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,PV,FV). Substituting the values, we get,

=pmt(0.09, 5, -3800000)

=$976,951.34

FV is 0. Present value is negative as it's cash outflow.

Annual annuity of Project B is $976,951.34

Annual annuity of Project is more than that of Project B, So Project A is better than Project B.

Suppose an early freeze affects the market for oranges. The equilibrium quantity in this market will not change after the change
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

2) perfectly vertical

Explanation:

When the price elasticity of demand is perfectly inelastic, the demand curve is perfectly vertical. This means that the quantity demanded will remain the same no matter what price.

In this scenario, the supply curve for oranges shifted to the left due to the early freeze, which results in a price increase at every level of quantity demanded. Since the demand is perfectly inelastic, the new equilibrium price will be determined by the how much the supply curve shifts.
