Answer:

a. increases information overload

Explanation:

Gaining information usually improves decision making since more facts and situations get revealed owing to which there is better comprehension, analysis and decision making.

But, beyond a saturation point i.e the level beyond which an individual's mind cannot take any further information or process it, such gain of information results into an overload which leads to confusion and hampers the decision making process.

At the same time, when such a saturation point gets breached, the cost of providing such an information also increases which makes it unproductive.

What is the total return for a stock that currently sells for $100, pays a dividend in one year of $2, and has a constant growth

Kobotan [32]

What is the total return for a stock that currently sells for $100, pays a dividend in one year of $2, and has a constant growth rate of 8 percent?

Total return will be 10%.

What is total return?

The overall return is shown as a proportion of the initial investment. For instance, a total return of 20% signifies that the asset's value increased by 20% overall as a result of price growth, dividend payments (if the security is a stock), coupon payments (if the security is a bond), or capital gains (if a fund).

R = 10%

10% is the total return for a stock that currently sells for $100, pays a dividend in one year of $2, and has a constant growth rate of 8 percent.

The NPV for the project will be 7.36 which is positive. The correct answer is c.

The payback period for project is 13.04 years which is given in the option a so correct answer is a.

The internal rate of return for the project is b. 7.35 .

Based on our analytics and calculation since NPV is positive so cross rail project is beneficial. The board should consider launching this project.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

d. $74,749.60 ( depreciation allowance @ 8.92% )

Explanation:

Under Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System the Office furniture and fixtures, agricultural machinery and equipment, any other property not associated with another class is classified as 7-years property.

These assets are depreciated as follows:

Year Percentage Depreciate

1 14.29%

2 24.49%

3 17.49%

4 12.49%

5 8.93%

6 8.92%

7 8.93%

8 4.46%

In the Sixth year depreciation will be charged by 8.92%.

Asset Value = $838,000

Depreciation Allowance in 6th year = $838,000 x 8.92%

Depreciation Allowance in 6th year = $74749.60

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The Linear programming model is given as below

Profit Function: $P=90X+120Y+150Z$

Constraints:

$2X+2Y+Z\leq 400$

$3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240$

$4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10$

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6$

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19$

Explanation:

As the question is not complete, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith.

Let the number of product 1 to be produced is X, that of product 2 is Y and product 3 is Z

so the maximizing function is the profit function which is given as

$P=90X+120Y+150Z$

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 10 type 1 machines so the total number of machine 1 hours are 40*10=400 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 2 machine hours of machine 1, product 2 uses 2 machine hours of machine 1 and product 3 uses 1 hour of machine 1 so

$2X+2Y+Z\leq 400$

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 6 type 2 machines so the total number of machine 2 hours are 40*6=240 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 3 machine hours of machine 2, product 2 uses 4 machine hours of machine 2 and product 3 uses 6 hour of machine 2 so

$3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240$

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 8 type 3 machines so the total number of machine 3 hours are 40*8=320 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 4 machine hours of machine 3, product 2 uses 6 machine hours of machine 3 and product 3 uses 5 hour of machine 3 so

$4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320$

Now as the machine 1 is used as 2X+2Y+Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10$

Now as the machine 2 is used as 3X+4Y+6Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6$

Now as the machine 3 is used as 4X+6Y+5Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8$

Now the workers are available for 35 hours so the worker available at the machine 1 is given as

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}$

That of machine 2 is given as

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}$

That of machine 3 is given as

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}$

As the total number of workers is 19 so the constraint is given as

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19$

So the Linear programming model is given as below

Profit Function: $P=90X+120Y+150Z$

Constraints:

$2X+2Y+Z\leq 400$

$3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240$

$4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10$

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6$

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19$
