Answer:

a. 1.27%

b. 15.24%

c. 16.35%

Explanation:

a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle?

The formula for the value of a Perpetuity is;

Value = Payment/ rate

Rate = Payment/ Value

Rate = 1,450/114,000

= 0.0127

= 1.27%

b. What is the APR?

APR is the annual rate. The above figure is the monthly rate.

APR = Monthly rate * 12

= 1.27 * 12

= 15.24%

c. What is the effective annual return?

Effective annual return = [1 + (APR/n)]^n – 1

n is the number of compounding periods which is 12 here for monthly compounding.

= [1 + (15.24%/12)]^12– 1

= 16.35%

A company has a merit pay plan based on the relative performances of workers teams. Each worker is a team gets the same wage as
belka [17]

Answer:

C) One worker can easily sabotage the productivity of other workers.

Explanation:

This is a form of compensation by merit that comprises the performance of a team as a whole, so this is a way of motivating both group work and individual work.

In the scenario above, we can see that this compensation plan would be effective in leveraging the performance of individual workers, and of teams, because if each member of the team is more productive, it will benefit the team as a whole. And this method will not affect the productivity of other teams, as each team will be encouraged and engaged to do the best job possible to achieve merit pay.

The alternative that does not correspond to the question that this incentive may be better than other methods to motivate workers to work harder, is the one that says that a worker can sabotage the productivity of other workers, as that worker is also likely to be engaged in not sabotaging the work of other team members, as the remuneration bonuses depend on the effort of the entire team to work together, and not just one employee.

ISBN 1Depreciation expense $1,600

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) 2,700

Interest expense 367

Net profits after taxes 1,400

Tax rate 40%

Answer and Explanation:

A. net operating profit after taxes​ = NOPAT = EBIT x (1-Tax) = $2,700 x (1-40%) = $1,620

B. operating cash flow​  = OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation = $1,620 + 1,600 = $3,220

C. free cash flow​ = FCF = OCF - Net fixed asset investment - Net current asset investment

 FCF = $3,220 - (29,500 - 28,100) - (8,200 - 6,800) - ($1,600 + 200 - 1,500 - 300) =  $420
