Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capital stock = 900 units

Saves 20% of its output

Depreciation rate = 10%

Production function, Y = k^{\frac{1}{2}}

                                     = (900)^{\frac{1}{2}}

                                     = 30 units

Therefore, the savings is as follows,

= 20% of output

= 0.2 × 30 units

= 6 units

Hence, the savings is equal to the investment for this small economy or country.

Investment = 6 units

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expecte
Westkost [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period for each investment is shown below;

For Option 1

= Initial Investment ÷  Annual Cash Flow

= $280,000 ÷ $134,569

= 2.081 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $80,769 + (($280,000 - $11,000) ÷ 5)

= $134,569

For Option-2

= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow

= $200,000 ÷ $70,429

= 2.84 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $44,000 + (($200,000 - $15,000) ÷ 7)

= $70,429

Air Destinations issues bonds due in 10 years with a stated interest rate of 11% and a face value of $500,000. Interest payments
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: $471,324.61

Explanation:

Price of a bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value at maturity

Coupon payments = 500,000 * 11% * 1/2 years = $27,500

Periodic yield = 12%/ 2 = 6% per semi annual period

Periods = 10 * 2 = 20 semi annual periods

Coupon payment is constant so it is an annuity.

Price of bond = Present value of annuity + Present value of face value at maturity

= (Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity, 6%, 20 years) + Face value / (1 + rate) ^ number of periods

= (27,500 * 11.4699) + 500,000 / (1 + 6%)²⁰

= $471,324.61

Tasya [4]

Answer:

the proper recording of this liability each year from 2016 through 2018 under GAAP is $150,000.

Explanation:

since the first amount cannot be determinable now, we cannot record it as a liability.

After the settlement of the dispute by the customer and company outside the court the company should record the loss and a liability at an amount of $150,000 because it is certain and determinable now.

horsena [70]

Answer:

the experience curve

Explanation:

The experience curve refers to a company having lower production costs due to increasing experience of the manufacturing process.

This concept applies to most activities in life, do you remember "practice makes perfect", well practice is equal to experience. For example the first time you drove a car, it probably took you a long time to go from your point of origin to your destination. Your driving inexperience increased the costs of driving from one place to another (more time and fuel spent). But after a while, when driving was something normal you are able to drive the same distance at a lower cost (less time and fuel).

Imagine for a car company that is trying out a new model. The first units are usually assembled with several flaws that must be corrected and are used to research possible design or equipment flaws. Those failures are corrected as the workers acquire more experience.
