Answer:

1) b)Frictional

2) c) Cyclical

3) a) Structural

Explanation:

1) Caroline just graduated from college and is looking for a full-time position with an investment banking firm.

FRICTIONAL.

This is a situation of frictional unemployment, which occurs when there is mobility of labor and workers. It occurs in a natural situation, at the time when individuals are looking for a job.

2) Frances is a real estate agent. House sales in her area have declined because the region has been going through a recession. She has no clients and is currently looking for a new full-time job.

CICLYCAL.

This is a situation that occurs when the economy of a locality cannot sustain the condition of full employment, it can occur in a situation of slow economic growth or certain setbacks.

3) Antonio recently lost his job as a waiter at a local restaurant. A recent increase in the minimum wage keeps local employers from adding more of the low-skill positions for which he qualifies, so he has been unable to find work. He continues to look for a job, but he's considering going back to school for vocational training.

STRUCTURAL.

Structural unemployment occurs when there is not a sufficient number of jobs in a given sector, which can result from several different variables, such as the incompatibility between the vacancies available and the skills of workers.

Given the following cash flows for a capital project, calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required r

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Ans. c) Discounted period is 1.01 years longer than payback period.

Explanation:

Hi, the payback period is the time that takes for the initial invesment to return to the investor (regardless of the time value of money), so we add the cash flow for every period until the result is zero.

The discounted payback period is almost the same, here we do take into account the time value of money. let´s check out the math to this.

Payback period

Period Cash Flow Adding cash flows Coefficient Payback

0 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00 3

1 $15,000.00 -$35,000.00 1

2 $15,000.00 -$20,000.00 1

3 $20,000.00 $- 1

4 $10,000.00

5 $5,000.00

Payback period = 3

Discount rate 8%

Period Cash Flow Present Value Adding Cash Coefficient

0 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00

1 $15,000.00 $13,888.88 -$36,111.11 1

2 $15,000.00 $12,860.08 -$23,251.03 1

3 $20,000.00 $15,876.64 -$7,374.38 1

4 $10,000.00 $7,350.29 -$24.09 1

5 $5,000.00 $3,402.91 0.01

Discounted payback period = 4.01

The only thing here that needs some further explanation is the 0.01, this is by doing the following calculation.

$Coefficient=\frac{24.09}{3402.91} =0.01$

This is the fraction of the year that will turn those $24.09 in zero (taking into account the cash flow of period 5 which is 3402.91)

So, discounted payback period - Payback period= 4.01 - 3 = 1.01

Best of luck.

From the question, if $500 was spent last week in fixing the transmission in a car and the brakes are now acting up, and one has to decide qwhether to fix them or trade the car in for a newer model.

The amount spent on the brake situation in this case is a sunk cost as it has already been incurred and nothing can be done about it anymore.
