Answer:

The investor will pay up the rereofitted pumps in a period of 22.52 months.

Explanation:

<em><u>First,</u></em> we solve for the amount of profit generate per month:

21,000 gallons a month x $0.09 per gallon = $1,890

Now, we calcualte the time at which an monthly income of 1890 discounted at 2% per month matches a present value of 34,000

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C  $1,890.00

time    n

rate 0.02

PV $34,000.0000

1890 \times \frac{1-(1+0.02)^{-n} }{0.02} = 34000\\

(1+0.02)^{-n}= 1-\frac{34000\times0.02}{1890}

(1+0.02)^{-n}=  0.64021164

We use logarithmics properties to solve for n:

-n= \frac{log0.64021164021164}{log(1+0.02)

-22.52006579

n = 22.5200 = 22 and a half month.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is $65.90 (approx.)

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Dividend paid = $8.50

Increase dividend = $6.50 per year

Require return = 16%

We can calculate the current share price by using following method:

=[($8.5 + $6.5) ÷ (1 + 16%)^1] + [($8.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) ÷ ( 1 + 16%)^2] +[($8.5 + $6.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) ÷ (1+16%)^3] + [($8.5 + $6.5+ $6.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) ÷ (1+16%)^4

= $15 ÷ 1.16 + $21.5 ÷ 1.16^2 + 28 ÷ 1.16^3 + 34.5 ÷ 1.16^4

= $65.90 (approx.)

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

B) To remain competitive, companies must be prepared to add to or adapt their product lines to satisfy customer desires.

Explanation:

The fact that many consumers are complaining about the products that Marissa sold, means that her sales probably went down. When sales are down, any company is in big trouble.

In order to regain a competitive advantage, Marissa and other companies must be willing to offer the products or services that will satisfy their customers' needs.

About 100 years ago, companies sold what they produced and consumers' voices and needs were not important, but that was 100 years ago. Today, if you do not satisfy your consumers' needs and desires, you lose them immediately.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Dec. 31, 2019 Ratio to Liabilities to Owner's Equity = 0.95

Dec. 31, 2018 Ratio to Liabilities to Owner's Equity = 0.80

Explanation:

given data

Dec. 31, 2019

total liabilities = $4,085,000

Total owner's equity = 4,300,000

Dec. 31, 2018

total liabilities = $2,880,000

Total owner's equity =  3,600,000

to find out

Compute the ratio of liabilities to owner's equity

solution

we know that here Ratio to Liabilities to Owner's Equity is Total Liabilities divide Total Owner's Equity      ....................1

so

now put here value for both 2018 and 2019 from equation 1

so for Dec. 31, 2019

Ratio to Liabilities to Owner's Equity = \frac{4085000}{4300000}

Ratio to Liabilities to Owner's Equity = 0.95

and for Dec. 31, 2018

Ratio to Liabilities to Owner's Equity = \frac{2880000}{3600000}

Ratio to Liabilities to Owner's Equity = 0.80
