Answer:

The payback period is more than 5 years

Explanation:

Net present value is the Net value of all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.

Year  Cash flow    PV factor   Present Value

0       ($490,000)       1              ($490,000)

1         $40,000       0.909         $36,360

2        $10,000        0.826         $8,260

3        $120,000      0.751          $90,120

4        $90,000       0.683         $61,470

5        $180,000      0.621        <u> $111,780 </u>

Net Present Value                   ($182,010)

NPV of this Investment is negative so, it is not acceptable.  

Payback period

Total Net cash inflow of the investment is $440,000 and Initial investment is $490,000. This investment will take more than 5 years to payback the initial investment.

Dowd, Elgar, Frost, and Grant formed a general partnership. Their written partnership agreement provided that the profits would
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The answer is: Edgar will receive $37,000

Explanation:

  • Dowd's share of the company's losses is $80,000
  • Edgar's share of the company's losses is $60,000
  • Frost's share of the company's losses is $40,000
  • Grant's share of the company's losses is $20,000

But since Grant is not willing to give more money to the partnership to cover his losses, the $9,000 difference must be divided by the remaining three partners. So they will divide Grant's losses as follows:

  • Dowd's share of the Grant's losses is $3,600
  • Edgar's share of the Grant's losses is $2,700
  • Frost's share of the Grant's losses is $1,800

Then you add up all the losses the three remaining partners had:

  • Dowd' total losses $83,600
  • Edgar's total losses $62,700
  • Frost's total losses $21,800

So when the partnership was dissolved, Edgar should have received $100,000 (capital) - $62,700 (total losses) = $37,200

I selected answer A since they probably rounded down Edgar's share to $37,000 (nearest possible choice).

With its current levels of input use, a firm's MRTS is 1/3 (when capital is on the vertical axis and labor is on the horizontal
bixtya [17]

Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).

Explanation:

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:

= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital

= 1 / 3

Marginal product of labor = 1

Marginal product of capital = 3

This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.

If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.

If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
