Answer:
The present value of the annuity is $73,091.50
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the present value of the annuity
Present value of annuity = ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for first 6 years ) + [ ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for after 6 years ) x Present value factor for 6 years ]
Where
Annuity Payment = $1,000
Annuity factor for first 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 16%/12 )^-(6x12) / 16%/12 = 46.10028344
Annuity factor for after 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 13%/12 )^-((17-6)x12) / 13%/12 = 70.0471029820
Present value factor for 6 years = ( 1 + 16%/12)^-(6x12) = 0.385329554163
Placing values in the formula
Present value of annuity = ( $1,000 x 46.10028344 ) + [ ( $1,000 x 70.0471029820 ) x 0.385329554163 ]
Present value of annuity = $46,100.28 + $26,991.22
Present value of annuity = $73,091.50

Answer:
X is $30,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the Amount ofLoan
Amount of Loan = Car price - Down payment = $100,848 - $30,000 = $70,848
This is the situation of annuity payment for 4 years at a 25% interest rate with equal annuity payment each year.
Now we will use the following formula to calculate the value of X
PV of Annuity = Annuity payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + interest rate )^-numbers of years ) / Interest rate
Where
PV of Annuity = Amount of Loan = $70,848
Interest rate = 25%
Numbers of years = 4 years
Annuity Payment = X = ?
Placing values in the formula
$70,848 = X x ( 1 - ( 1 + 25% )^-4 ) / 25%
$70,848 = X x 2.3616
X = $70,848 / 2.3616
X = $30,000
$0 is needed
<u>Explanation:</u>
As per pecking order theory the risks and consequently cost increases in the order of own cash reserves, debt and then fresh equity
. Since own cash reserves and debt could take care of funding requirement, so according to the pecking order theory as studied, the fresh equity needed is $0, which means there is no requirement.
Therefore, there should be no equity capital that should be raised in order to fund the project.
The correct answer is $0 equity.
Answer:
Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.
Explanation:
Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.
The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.
Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.
