Which cash flow would you rather pay, $425 today or $500 in two years if interest rates are 10 percent? Why?

Business
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The main goal is to compare these two based on the same terms; present values. Find the present value of $500 today by discounting it using 10% interest rate over two years.

PV = FV/ (1+r)^n

where FV = Future value = $500

r = discount rate = 10% or 0.10 as a decimal

n = total duration of investment  = 2

PV = $500/(1+0.10)^2

PV = $500/1.21

PV = $413.22

Since you are basing the decision on what you would rather pay, you would want a lower pay amount. The $425 is already in its present value terms and it is more expensive. Therefore, you would prefer to pay $500 in two years.

Some recent financial statements for Smolira Golf Corp. follow. SMOLIRA GOLF CORP. 2017 and 2018 Balance Sheets Assets Liabiliti
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the requirements are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

a. Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

2017 = $62,976 / $50,555 = 1.25

2018 =  $67,600 / $57,000  = 1.19

b. Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities

2017 = ($62,976 - $26,042) / $50,555 = 0.73

2018 = ($67,600 - $27,500) / $57,000  = 0.70

c. Cash ratio = cash / current liabilities

2017 =  $24,086 / $50,555 = 0.48

2018 = $24,500 / $57,000 = 0.43

d. Total asset turnover = sales / average total assets

2018 = $373,473 / [($391,671 + $430,000) / 2] = 0.91

e. Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory

2018 = $254,500 / [($26,042 + $27,500) / 2] = 9.51

f. Receivables turnover = sales / average accounts receivable

2018 = $373,473 / [($12,848 + $15,600) / 2] = 26.26

g. Profit margin = net profit /  total sales

2018 = $54,319 / $373,473 = 14.54%

h. Return on assets = net income / average total assets

2018 = $54,319 / [($391,671 + $430,000) / 2] = 13.22%

i. Return on equity = net income / average equity

2018 = $54,319 / [($281,116+ $311,435) / 2] = 18.33%

The effects of ____ are not sufficiently strong to manipulate consumers, alter their preferences, or make the ad more memorable,
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Subliminal stimuli

Explanation:

Subliminal stimuli is defined as a stimulus that is below the sensory capacity of an individual. It is below the threshold where the individual can perceive that there is a change in something. For example if a company is producing potato chips and they want to increase salt content.

The point at which the consumer starts to notice a change in salt content of the potatoe chips is above the subliminal stimuli.

Although subliminal stimuli is not readily perceived it can unconciously influence consumer behaviour.

Country A has a population of 1,000, of whom 800 work 8 hours a day to make 128,000 final goods. Country B has a population of 2
algol [13]

Answer:

a) Productivity of country A = 20 goods per hour

Productivity of country B = 25 goods per hour

Real GDP per person for country A = 128 goods per person

Real GDP per person for country B = 135 goods per person

b) Country B is better off

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

For country A

Population = 1,000

Number of workers = 800

Number of working hour per day = 8

Final goods = 128,000

For country B

Population = 2,000

Number of workers = 1,800

Number of working hour per day = 6

Final goods = 270,000

Now,

(a) The Productivity is given as

= [ Total Output ÷ Total Productive Hours ]

Thus,

Productivity of country A

= [ 128,000] ÷ [ 800 × 8 ]

= 20 goods per hour

Productivity of country B

= [ 270,000 ] ÷ [ 1800 × 6 ]

= 25 goods per hour

and,

Real GDP per person = [ Final goods ] ÷ [ Population ]

Real GDP per person for country A

= 128000 ÷ 1000

= 128 goods per person

Real GDP per person for country B

= [ 270000 ] ÷ 2000

= 135 goods per person

(b) Since,

The Real GDP per person for country B is greater than the Real GDP per person for country A

Therefore,

Country B is better off
