Answer:

Collision

uninsured motorist

liability coverage

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed about Abraham who has just purchased his first car. His bank, First State Bank, loaned him the money to buy the car and has required him to purchase insurance to protect the car as the collateral for the loan. In this case the basic types of coverage Abraham should buy to satisfy the bank requirement and to best protect himself from the risks of operating an automobile are;

✓ uninsured motorist

The table below gives information on bottled water in Florida. As you would expect, the demand for water is higher than normal d

choli [55]

Answer:

First we need to first find the equilibrium quantity and price during normal times.

The equilibrium price in normal times is P=$3 and the equilibrium quantity is 55 bottles.

During the hurricane, the government will set a price ceiling of $3. We can infer from the table that the quantity supplied at P=$3 is 55 bottles while the quantity demanded during hurricane at the price of $3 per bottle is 105 bottles. Hence,

105-55= 50

During a hurricane, there would be a shortage of 50 bottles of water.

If there were no price ceiling, then the equilibrium price would be such that the quantity demanded during hurricane equals the quantity supplied. From the table we can see that the equilibrium price would in that case be P=$5 per bottle where the equilibrium quantity is 85 bottles. With the price ceiling only 55 bottles are available for trading. Now without the price ceiling 85 bottles are available.

Hence consumers would have to pay an additional $2 (=5-3) but they can now buy an additional 30 bottles [=85-55].

Without the antiprice gouging law, consumers would have to pay $2 more than the ceiling price, but they would bv able to buy 30 more bottles of water.

The FOURX Corp. has purchased $50,000 of experimental equipment. The anticipated salvage value is $5500 at the end of its 5-year

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

b. NPW(SL): $33,738; NPW(DDB): $37,068; Recommendation: DDB

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Present value is

= [Cash Flow ÷ (1 + Rate of Interest)^Year]

where,

Rate of Interest = 10%

Under Straight-line depreciation:

Beginning book value = $50,000

Salvage value = $5,500

So, the depreciationper year is

= [($50,000 - $5,500) ÷ 5]

= $8,900

Year Beginning Depreciation End Present value

book value book value of depreciation

1 $50,000 $8,900 $41,100 $8,090.91

2 $41,100 $8,900 $32,200 $7,355.37

3 $32,200 $8,900 $23,300 $6,686.70

4 $23,300 $8,900 $14,400 $6,078.82

5 $14,400 $8,900 $5,500 $5,526.20

$33,738.00

Under Double declining depreciation:

Depreciation rate per year = (1 ÷ Useful Life) × 100

= 1 ÷ 5 × 100

= 20%

Now for double-declining, the rate is doubled

So,

= 20% × 2

= 40%

Hotaling Corporation is analyzing a capital expenditure that will involve a cash outlay of $146,040. Estimated cash flows are ex

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The solution shows that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%.

Explanation:

The IRR or internal rate of return is the rate at which NPV or Net Present Value of the investment becomes zero. We are provided with the initial outlay for the project and the annual cash inflows along with time period. Using the annuity factors given below, we need to find out the factor which makes the NPV zero. The NPV is calculated as follows,

NPV = Present Value of Cash Inflows - Initial Outlay

We can try out each annuity factor and see what NPV is generates.

1. 6% rate (Annuity factor = 5.582)

NPV = (30000 * 5.582) - 146040

NPV = $21420

2. 8% rate (Annuity factor = 5.206)

NPV = (30000 * 5.206) - 146040

NPV = $10140

3. 10% rate (Annuity factor = 4.868)

NPV = (30000 * 4.868) - 146040

NPV = $0

So, from the above solution we can see that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%

A theory asserts that consumers will purchase less of a good at higher prices than they will at lower prices.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

b. It is likely that variables other than the price and quantity of cars demanded were

changing.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that the higher the price of a good, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price of a good, the higher the quantity demanded.

If price of cars was increasing and the quantity demanded also was increasing, it indicates other variables were changing. For example, if income was increasing at the time, the demand for cars would increase if cars are normal goods.

I hope my answer helps you
