Answer:

D. The spoils system

Explanation:

In the spoils systems, government jobs were awarded to friends, relatives, and supporters of the winning polity party. After elections, politicians from the winning party would reward their supporters and friends with government jobs as a gift for their loyalty. Government employees would change after every election.

The civil service system came to replace the spoils system. Under the civil service system, civil servants are hired through a competitive selection process. The state and employ the workers, not the ruling administration. In the civil service system, civil servants continue working regardless of which political party wins elections.

Assume you have two projects with different lives. Project A is expected to generate present value cash flows of $5.2 million an

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

$1,033,190.69 ; better

Explanation:

Given:

Present value of cash flow of Project A (PV) = $5,200,000

Maturity (nper) = 7 years

Required return (rate) = 9%

Annual annuity (pmt) can be computed using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,PV,FV). Substituting the values, we get,

=pmt(0.09, 7, -5200000)

=$1,033,190.69

FV is 0. Present value is negative as it's cash outflow.

Annual annuity of Project A is $1,033,190.69

Project B:

Given:

Present value of cash flow of Project A (PV) = $3,800,000

Maturity (nper) = 5 years

Required return (rate) = 9%

Annual annuity (pmt) can be computed using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,PV,FV). Substituting the values, we get,

=pmt(0.09, 5, -3800000)

=$976,951.34

FV is 0. Present value is negative as it's cash outflow.

Annual annuity of Project B is $976,951.34

Annual annuity of Project is more than that of Project B, So Project A is better than Project B.

Which of the following statements is true? (A) A test with a high cost may also be high value. (B) A test with a low cost is alw

Nata [24]

Answer:

A) A test with a high cost may also be of high value.

Explanation:

A test's cost add up to the time spent in preparing that test. S much time might have really been spent on it like researching, sitting, time spent, revaluation of the test, as well as other contributions made for the execution of that test. The value of the test can be evaluated to the resources spent for the test. When a test has a high cost, it may also have a high value depending on some variables relating to both the cost of the test as well as its value. Also, every individual's primary objective is usually cost minimization and profit maximization in every thing he does irrespective of type or structure.

Baker Inc. acquired equipment from the manufacturer on 10/1/2018 and gave a noninterest-bearing note in exchange. Baker is oblig

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Interest included in $918000 is for six months from 10/1/18 to 4/1/12.

Interest for first three month period from 10/1/18 to 31/12/18 = $9000.

This implies that :

Interest from 1/1/19 to 4/1/19 = $9000.

Principal amount excluding interest due:

= Baker's obligation amount - Accrued interest - Accrued interest

= $918,000 - $9,000 - $9,000

= $900,000

Interest rate:

= [($9,000 × 12/3) ÷ 900000] × 100

= 4%
