Answer:

NPV = $-43246.56103 rounded off to - $43246.56

Explanation:

The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project.

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  + CFn / (1+r)^n  -  Initial Cost

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
  • r is the required rate of return

NPV = 74000 (1+0.12)  +  74000 (1+0.12)^2  +  74000 (1+0.12)^3  +  74000 (1+0.12)^4  +  74000 (1+0.12)^5  -  310000

NPV = $-43246.56103 rounded off to - $43246.56

Charra [1.4K]

Complete Question:

The project represented by this resource load chart (see attached) has a maximum limit of 6 units of resource activity in any day. The first activities that are strong candidates for shifting are:

A) Activity A

B) Activities B and C

C) Activities D and E

D) Activity E and F

Answer:

The first activities that are strong candidates for shifting are:

C) Activities D and E

Explanation:

Activities D and E have a total time of 5 days altogether based on the attached resource load chart.  They have the least time and can be shifted to accommodate other activities before they can be tackled sequentially.

A resource load chart displays the total amount of resources required as a function of time in any given project.  It is the best method for establishing the existence of some resource conflicts across project activities, especially when compared to Gantt Charts, Network Diagrams, and Pareto Diagrams.

Consider two scenarios for a nation's economic growth. Scenario A has real GDP growing at an average annual rate of 3.5 percent;
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)

Explanation:

The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.

current GDP * (1+Growth Rate)^{n} = 2 * current GDP

In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.

Scenario A

1 * (1+0.35)^{n} =2

When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.

Scenario B

1 * (1+0.45)^{n} =2

When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.

Total Liabilities is

= $210.761 - ($6.350 + $47.491)

= $210.761 - $6.350 - $47.491

= $156.92 million

Hence, the  Digby Corporation's total liabilities is $156.92 million
