Amazon is widely believed to be leading the pack in developing this technology Move comes as Google and Amazon are devising an air traffic control system. Amazon is already experimenting with drone delivery (Prime Air), and has made successful deliveries to consumers within 13 minutes of their click-to-order. While the regulatory environment doesn’t yet support widespread drone delivery, experts believe it won't be for long.
Answer:
$300,000
Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:
But before that EBIT should be determined
Sales $ 2,000,000.00
Less : Cost of Goods Sold $1,200,000.00
Gross Profit $800,000.00
Less: selling and general administrative expenses $500,000.00
Less: Depreciation expense $900,000.00
EBIT i.e. Operating Income/(Loss) $(600,000.00)
Tax at 21% $(126,000.00)
Since it is negative so the tax loss would not be determined
Now Operating Cash flow
= EBIT × (1 -T) + Depreciation expense - Chane in Working Capital
= EBIT + Depreciation expense
= -$600,000 + $900,000
= $300,000
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no effect on a project's total projected cash flows but it would affect the timing of the cash flows and thus the NPV.
Explanation:
Accelerated depreciation is a form of accounting and taxation used in the first years of an asset to allow greater deductions. On the other hand, the deductions are distributed evenly throughout the life of the asset using the Straight-line Depreciation method. Accelerated depreciation facilitates higher expenses to be incurred during the first years of an asset while in use, and lower expenses years later, as long as the asset depreciates.
In that sense, when it comes to the total projected cash flow of a company on a project, neither the accelerated depreciation or the straight-line method would affect it but both of them have impact on the timing of the cash flows since accelerated depreciation demands higher expenses since the beginning of the possession of the assets while the straight-line method keeps the expenses steady. Both, also affect the net present value (NPV) of the company since with the accelerated depreciation the cash flow will be less and with the straight-line method it should be constant.
Answer:
The frictional unemployment rate is <u>3.1</u> percent and the actual unemployment rate (in this economy) is <u>7.3</u> percent.
Explanation:
natural unemployment rate = frictional unemployment + structural unemployment
frictional unemployment = natural unemployment - structural unemployment = 5.3% - 2.2% = 3.1%
actual unemployment rate = natural unemployment + cyclical unemployment rate = 5.3% + 2% = 7.3%
Frictional unemployment is voluntary and happens when someone quits his/her job in order to look for a better job. Structural unemployment happens when the skills of the workers do not match the requirements of the hiring companies. Cyclical unemployment takes place when the economy is in recession.
