Answer:

Choose Project A whose payback is 2.492 years and therefore falls within the 2.5 year required payback period.

Explanation:

Project A    

Year   Cash-flow   Balance

0    (72,000)    (72,000)

1    21,400     (50,600)

2    22,900     (27,700)

3    56,300     28,600  

Payback = YearsWithNegativeCumulativeCashflowBalance + \frac{-LastNegativeBalance}{CashInflowfollowingYear}


= 2years + \frac{-(-27,700}{56300}=2.492 years

Project B      

Year  Cash-flow          Balance  

0    (81,000)    (81,000)

1    20,100     (60,900)

2    22,200     (38,700)

3    74,800     36,100  

Payback = YearsWithNegativeCumulativeCashflowBalance + \frac{-LastNegativeBalance}{CashInflowfollowingYear}


= 2years + \frac{-(-38,700}{74,800}=2.517 years

Vince’s Vehicle Repairs has a gross profit margin of 60% and a net profit margin of 22%. Turnover was £180000. Calculate:
sammy [17]

Answer:

Vince's Vehicle Repairs

The Cost of Sales is:

= $72,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Turnover = $180,000

Gross profit margin = 60%

Net profit margin = 22%

Gross profit margin = Gross profit/Turnover * 100

60% = Gross Profit/$180,000 * 100

Therefore, the Gross Profit = $180,000 * 60%

Gross Profit = $108,000

Cost of sales = Turnover - Gross profit (100% - 60%)

Cost of sales = $180,000 - $108,000

= $72,000

Alternatively, Cost of Sales:

= $180,000 * (100% - 60%)

= $72,000

Determine whether the following statement is true or false, and explain your reasoning:
Triss [41]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

As a fact, I agree that with large sample sizes, even the small differences between the null value and the observed point estimate can be statistically significant.

To put it differently, any differences between the null value and the observed point estimate will be material and/or significant if the samples are large in shape and form.

It's also established that point estimate get more clearer and understandable, and the difference between the mean and the null value can be easily singled out if the sample size is bigger.

Suffix to say, however, while the difference may connote a statistical importance, the practical implication notwithstanding, will be looked and studied on a different set of rules and procedures, beyond the statistical relevance.

Which are results of regulation in a mixed-market economy? Check all that apply.
solong [7]

<u>Answer:</u> Option 1 and Option 5

<u>Explanation:</u>

In mixed economies under the government regulation most of the production is done by private ownership. There is very little government intervention. The main aim of the government intervention is to make sure that the private business activities comply with the law of the country.

Another result of government regulation is to control the externalities created by these business structures. Government ensures there is no externality which affects the market as well as the people. Due to these regulations there is no advantages for producer or government. Also the markets cannot be controlled with these regulations in mixed market economy.
