Answer:

The net present values of the two investments are $46000 and $55000 respectively .

However, the present value index for the first investment is 1.40 while the second investment has 1.2 as net present value index.

Judging from net present value,the the second investment is preferable,but since net present value is an absolute value,it does not  relate the net present value to the underlying outlay,the first investment is preferred based on present value of index 1.4

Explanation:

The net present value for both alternatives is shown below:

                                                         $                               $

Present value of cash inflows         160000                335000

Present value of cash inflows         (114000)               (280000)

Net present value                             46000                  55000

Present value index=present value of inflows/present value of outflows

First investment       =160000/114000=1.40

Second investment =335000/280000=1.2

A wire having a mass per unit length of 0.440 g/cm carries a 1.50-A current horizontally to the south. (a) What is the direction
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B = 0.287  Tesla

According to thumb rule the direction of magnet is to the east.

Explanation:

F = BiL sin∅

note that F = mg

B = magnetic field

i = current

therefore,

mg = BiLsin∅

Make B subject of the formula

B = mg/iLsin∅

m/L = mass per length of the wire and it is given in gram per centimeter . It should be converted to kg per meter.

m/L = 0.440 g/cm

convert to kg/m = 0.440 × 0.001 kg × 100 m = 0.044  kg/m

B = 9.8 × 0.044 / sin 90 × 1.50 × 1

B = 0.4312/ 1.50

B = 0.28746666666

B = 0.287  Tesla

According to thumb rule the direction of magnet is to the east.

What is goodwill in a business sale and why is it amortized in the business financial statements
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Goodwill arises when is a business is acquired as a going concern. It is an intangible asset of a business. Goodwill represents the value of a company's customer base, its location, any patents, and the brand name. It consists of the value of suppliers, customers, and employee relationships that facilitates the smooth running of the business.

The value of goodwill is the difference between the purchase price and the net cost of its tangible and other intangible assets of a business. Amortization of goodwill means spreading the cost of goodwill to several financial years.

Goodwill is amortized because the business benefits from the goodwill for many years.  In other words, the expenditure on goodwill will profit the company in more than one financial year. As per the matching principle, expenses and incomes should be recognized in the period they occur. As benefits will be enjoyed in many years, the expenses should also be spread in similar years.
