Answer:

The value of the settlement today =  $231,897.79  

Explanation:

The value of the settlement today is the sum of the present value (PV) of cash inflows discounted at the discount rate of 5.7 %.

Year                                                   PV

1              35,000 × 1.057^(-1)   = 33112.58

2                39,000× 1.057^(-2) = 34907.16

3.               80,000× 1.057^(-3)  = 67743.09

4                 120,000 × 1.057^(-4) =96134.94

The Pv of the total cash in flow =33,112.58  +  34,907.17  +  67,743.09  +  96,134.95  =  231,897.79  

The value of the settlement today =  $231,897.79

In 3-4 sentences describe how economic liberty helps water the "money tree" in a free enterprise.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business

Explanation:

Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).

What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.

Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?

That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.

Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The cost of the equipment is <u>$45,416</u>.

Explanation:

The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.

The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.

However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.

Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:

Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)

Since,

Purchase price = $41,600

Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.

Freight charges = $624

Installation costs = $696.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416

Therefore, the cost of the equipment is <u>$45,416</u>.

then impact of risky behaviour on one's well-being by referring to social,emotional,physical and spiritual ​
maria [59]
Spiritually, risky behavior can truly take a toll. If you are religious, your actions won’t be in line with your beliefs (most likely). There is a trickle down effect from there. Lots of times, risky behavior makes a person feel paranoid because a person is doing things s/he feels is wrong. All of that takes a toll on a person physically. When you compromise yourself, you will tend to be on an emotional roller coaster. Not a great way to live
