Answer:

Explanation:

Despite the fact that it seems jerry can easily take a bow of the discussion with Lucy and forge ahead in selling the car to Roberta, he had certain restrictions that he should respect. Accepting $100 from Lucy, Jerry entered into what we know as an “Option” contract, giving an option to Lucy to buy the car in the next two weeks.

Irrespective of Lucy’s financial status, jerry should respect the contract that he has entered into. As a back-up, he can hold discussions with Roberta and can request her to wait for 2 weeks when the option period expires and he can sell the car to her at an outright payment

Lester's is a globally diverse company with multiple divisions and a cost of capital of 15.8 percent. Med, Inc., is a specialty
eimsori [14]

Answer:

both companies should invest because the NPV of both companies are positive

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.  

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = - $8.4 million

Cash flow in year 1-7 =  $2.2 million

NPV of Lester with I of 15.8% = 0.54 million

NPV of Med Inc with I of 13.7% = 1.12 million

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

What is the largest category calculated when using the expenditure approach to calculate GDP?
Leya [2.2K]
When using the expenditure approach, we are looking at the total spending of a business that is included in the equation to compute for GDP. For this, I would say government purchases is the answer because government purchases would take up the biggest chunk of a country's revenue for development and imports.
