Time = 5 years
Opportunity cost = 18%
The formula for payment is

where, R is return, OC is opportunity cost, t is time in years.
Substitute R=15000, t=5 and OC=0.18 in the above formula.



Therefore the firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Lease Plan
1) The trend in gender diversity that appears to be most supported by the outcomes of Lease Plan's program changes is:
Increases in seats on boards of directors—in Fortune 550 firms up to 16.6 percent in 2013 from only 9.6 percent in 1995.
2. Thomas's generic action options for managing diversity that is most illustrated in the case is:
include/exclude
3. Based on the information in the case, the barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text that appear to have been present at Lease Plan were:
a. an unsupportive or hostile work environment
b. inaccurate stereotypes
Explanation:
Thomas's include and exclude generic action option emphasizes that more diverse employees should be employed in addition to minority-owned companies being used as vendors.  This option makes it possible for embracing and practicing workplace diversity.  It creates an open-minded and supportive workplace, encouraging the sharing of information and the integration of behavior to accept and value human differences, thereby overcoming stereotypes.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: The correct answer is "B. Zimbabwe".
Explanation: GDP growth is crucial for an economy, since an increase in it reflects an increase in economic activity. If economic activity picks up, it means that unemployment tends to decrease and that per capita income increases.
In the case of Zimbabwe, population growth is far superior to GDP growth, therefore this makes economic growth much more difficult since there are more people per capita income is diminished.

Answer:
D
Explanation:
Many studies have found a positive correlation between economic growth and living standards. This means that empirical works have found that countries with higher economic growth, often have better living standards than the countries with less economic growth. In this case if real GDP per capita of both countries is similar, then they are comparable.
We can deduce that the country B will experience an increase in living standards much more rapidly in the long run because economic growth leads to an increase in profits for firms, there would be a better capital and labor return. This means that firms will pay more for capital and labor, if households are de owners of capital and labor, their rents and wages will increase. The disposable income will increase for households and they will consume more goods and services, then their living standards will increase.
