Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.

Suppose demand and supply are given by Qd = 60 - P and Qs = 1.0P - 20.
seraphim [82]

Answer:

a.  Equilibrium quantity: 40 units;  Equilibrium price: $40.

b. Quantity demanded: 10 units; Quantity supplied: 30 units;  Surplus: 20 units.

c.  Quantity demanded: 9 units; Quantity supplied: 31 units;  Shortage: 22 units.

Explanation:

a. The equilibrium quantity occurs when the demanded and supplied quantity are the same, the price for which this situation happens is:

60 - P = 1.0P - 20.\\2P=80\\P=\$40

At an equilibrium price of $40, the equilibrium quantity is:

Q = $40 -20 = 40\ units

b. At a price of $50, the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the surplus are, respectively:

Q_d = 60 - P =60-50 =10\ units\\Q_s = 1.0P - 20=50-20 = 30\ units\\Surp = Q_s - Q_d = 30 -10 = 20\ units

c. At a price of $29, the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the shortage are, respectively:

Q_d = 60 - P =60-29 =31\ units\\Q_s = 1.0P - 20=29-20 = 9\ units\\Short = Q_d - Q_s = 31 -9 = 22\ units

<span>The long delays before childhood intervention programs showing a reduction of delinquency is not one of the issues. Ethical concerns over early intervention, the stigmatization that occurs when labeling children and families "delinquent," and the ease at which these programs have expanded are all issues that have taken place in the recent past.</span>

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: external cause

Explanation:

Based on the information that's provided in the question, if Kumi gets audited this year, then he is likely to believe that the reason for the audit is due to an external cause, like the tax program that was used in the preparation of his taxes.

In such case, we can infer that the perception of Kumi is being influenced due to self-serving bias.
