2 $7,000 $9,000
3 $9,000 $7,000
4 $11,000 $5,000

A. Investment X has a higher present value.
B. Investment Y has a higher present value.
C. Investment X and Investment Y have the same present value, since the total of the cash flows is the same for both.
D. No comparison can be made - we need to know the interest rate to calculate the present value.

Answer:

B. Investment Y has a higher present value.

Explanation:

The cash inflows are given in the question for Investment X and Investment Y

Plus we know that the cash inflows and the number of years has an indirect relation

That means if the cash flows are the same for year 1 and 2 and in year 3 and year 4 so year 1 and year 2 present value would be higher as compared with the last year present value

Since in the question Investment Y has higher cash inflows in starting year but in Investment X has higher cash inflows in last year that interprets Investment Y has a higher present value

What is the primary goal of a society ?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
A.

Societies are built upon the idea and the foundation of ordering communities. It only makes sense that this order is there to protect the well-being of it's members.

I'd argue that the best of societies are those that promote spirituality, which is an aspect to wellness and well-being. Answer A definitely includes this, whereas answer C specifies and focuses on only this aspect.

Simpson and Homer Corporation acquired an office building on three acres of land for a lump-sum price of $3,350,000. The buildin
Volgvan

Answer:

Building = $1,340,000

Land = $1,675,000

Furniture and fixtures = $335,000

Explanation:

This is an example of Basket Asset Purchase whereby a number of assets purchased as one package.

Initial value of each asset is are determined by the Basket Asset Purchase  based on their relative fair market value as follows:

Building = $3,350,000 × [$2,560,000 ÷ ($2,560,000 + $3,200,000 + $640,000)] = $3,350,000 × 0.4 = $1,340,000

Land = $3,350,000 × [$3,200,000 ÷ ($2,560,000 + $3,200,000 + $640,000)] = $3,350,000 × 0.5 = $1,675,000

Furniture and fixtures = $3,350,000 × [$640,000 ÷ ($2,560,000 + $3,200,000 + $640,000)] = $3,350,000 × 0.1 = $335,000

Therefore, the initial values of the building, land, and furniture and fixtures would be $1,340,000, $1,675,000, and $335,000 respectively.

Malone Imports stock should return 12 percent in a boom, 10 percent in a normal economy, and 2 percent in a recession. The proba
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

6.11%

Explanation:

For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy)  + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)

= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%)  + (2% × 10%)  

= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%

= 9.30%

Now the variance would equal to the

= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2

For boom:

= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.3645

For normal economy:

= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.4165

For recession:

= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2

= 5.329

So, the total variance would be

= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329

= 6.11%

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
