Answer:

Option 2

Option 3

Option 1

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Present value of option 1 = $900

For option 2 :

Cash flow in year 1 = $1200

I = 15%

Present value = $1,043.48

For option 3 :

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = 0

Cash flow in year 5 = $2000

I = 15%

Present value =$ 994.35

From the above figures, option 2 has the highest present value, followed by option 3 and then option 1.

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

FICA Medicare taxes = 1,700 * 10 * 1.45% = $‭246.5‬0

FUTA Taxes = 1,700 * 10 * 0.6% = $‭102‬

SUTA Taxes = 1,700 * 10 * 5.4% = $‭918‬

Payroll Tax expense = 1,054 + 246.50 + 102 + 918 = $‭2,320.5‬0

By shutting​ down, a firm A. stops receiving revenue and is stuck with its fixed costs. B. can avoid paying taxes on its previou
wel

Answer:

option A

Explanation: A firm cannot avoid paying taxes on previous profits as these profits were earned before the shutting down period and generally the taxes on profits for current period  are paid at a later period. Thus option B is incorrect.

.

Revenue is the total income that a business gets from its normal operations and variable cost is the cost that changes with the level of output. Thus, there will be no revenue and also variable cost.  Hence option C is incorrect.

.

Sunk cost are the costs that cannot be recovered and are already been incurred.So a company can avoid its variable cost by shutting down but not its   sunk cost. Hence option D is incorrect.

.

Fixed costs are the costs that are independent of the level of output. Therefore, a company after shutting down will not receive revenue but will have to bear fixed cost. Hence option A is correct.

Riva crafts and sells hard cider as a part-time job. She can bottle and sell four cases in a week. She is considering hiring her
Dovator [93]

Answer:

3 cases

Explanation:

Marginal product refers to change in the total output when an additional input is employed. For example, output is 5 units when 2 laborers are employed. When another unit of input i.e 3rd laborer is employed, the output rises to 9 units. In this case marginal product of the 3rd unit of labor would be 9 - 5 i.e 4 units.

In the given case, before Atul is hired, the production was 4 cases per week. After his being hired, it rose to 7 cases per week. Thus Atul's marginal product in the given case would be 7 - 4 i.e 3 cases.
