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

maria [59]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can answer the following.

This scenario best illustrates forward integration.

This is a case of forward integration because BlockWood Inc., which was facing similar difficulties with other buyers too, eventually stopped supplying raw materials and took to manufacturing furniture instead. SO they decided to fabricate their own furniture.

Companies make this decision as a process of vertical integration to expand and grow their business. In this case to produce and control their own products, eliminating the retailer that had decided to pay less money for the raw materials.

So now, Blockwood Inc. has the challenge to design and sell the products it is fabricating.

vivado [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: $10,329

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You want to have the equivalent of $700,000 (in terms of today's spending power) when you retire in 30 years. Assume a 3% rate of annual inflation. The interest rate is 10% annual.

First, we need to determine how much is $700,000 in 30 years.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 700000*(1.03^30)= $1,699,083.73

Now, we can calculate the annual payment required using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payment

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (1,699,083.73* 0.10)/[(1.10^30)-1]= $10329

lidiya [134]

It is true that departmentalization by location allows an organization to readily respond to the unique demands of each geographical area.

The departmentalization by location is a strategy that organizations use to maintain departments in different locations where they operate, in order to deal more closely with the company's activities and needs.

This is a positive strategy that can speed up decision making, as each geographic area has different needs that must be addressed differently from the other.

So the statement is true and some of the advantages of departmentalization by location is improved communication, better allocation of employees and greater product promotion.
