Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

We calculate payback period as,

Payback = initial outlay / savings

Payback = 300,000/ 62500 = 4.8 years

The project has payback of well below 7 years and as such the project is acceptable.

We calculate profits to compute rate of return.

Profit / year = cash flow - depreciation for the year

Depreciation / year = 300,000/15 = $20,000

Profit = 62,500 - 20,000 = $42,500

Rate of return = profit / investment

RoR = 42,500 / 300,000 = 14.16%

Since the RoR is greater than required 10%, the project is acceptable.

Hope that helps.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Royal Chocolatier is licensing their product line to American Candy.

Explanation:

Licensing agreements are useful because both the licensee (company receiving the license) and licensor (company granting the license) are benefited:

  • The licensor benefits since the licensee bears all the costs and risks of the new activity.
  • The licensee is able to sell a well established and recognized brand without having to develop the brand themselves.

Licensing results in the licensee bearing the costs and risks.

Dartmouth Assessment Centre screens and trains employees for a computer assembly firm in Halifax. The progress of all trainees i
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Discourage Torri from continuing. Encourage Julie to continue.

Explanation:

The progress of all trainees is tracked. Those not showing good progress are moved to less demanding programs. This means that there is hope of still doing/getting a job, if they don't pass this test.

REQUIREMENT: By the 10th time doing the test, trainees must be able to complete the task in a maximum of 1 hour.

1st Trainee: Torri Olson-Alves

5 hours on Unit 4;   4 hours on Unit 8

Should Torri be encouraged to continue? NO.

There are 10 units or repetitions in all. If Torri spends 5 hours on Unit 4 and spends 4 hours on Unit 8, then Torri is slow or isn't making much progress. After 4 repetitions, her marginal product only increased by an hour. She most likely won't make it to 1 hour by the 10th repetition.

2nd Trainee: Julie Burgmeier

4 hours on Unit 3;   3 hours on Unit 6

Should Julie be encouraged to continue? YES.

Julie makes a progress of 1 hour after 3 repetitions. We can predict that after another 3 repetitions (on Unit 9) progress would be made again and by Unit 10, she would have met the required benchmark.

’"People in business get ahead by exploiting the needs of their consumers. The gains of business are at the expense ofsuffering
damaskus [11]

Explanation:

This question is imprecise, because the reason for the existence of business is to satisfy the needs of consumers, being characterized as an economic activity whose main objective is to generate profits.

Therefore, the economic needs of society are not met by companies at the expense of the suffering imposed on their customers, since the goods and services produced exist to satisfy the human needs necessary for a better quality of life.

It is also important to emphasize that, currently, there is a new interaction between company and consumer, where there is a much more direct relationship, where there is a social demand that companies be much more than just profitable entities, consumers expect companies to exercise a social role of contributing to the social and environmental development of the macroenvironment in which it is inserted. Therefore, a company that does not exercise corporate governance in the globalized world, has little conditions to remain in the market in the long run.
