Answer:

It may lead to groupthink.

It may affect the message's clarity.

Explanation:

Collaborative business message writing has to do with when a group of people creates a project or business message together rather than doing it individually.

Groupthink describes when a group sets asides their personal belief to get a consensus within a group and this can lead to bad decisions as members of the group can sidestep problems in order to fit into a group's decisions.

The clarity of the message can be affected because the different members of the group all have different ideas and would try to sacrifice some of their ideas for the group.

Two investment opportunities are as follows:________. Alt A Alt B First Cost 200 100 Uniform annual benefit 32 27 End of useful

Talja [164]

Answer:

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:

Alt A Alt B

First Cost 200 100

Uniform annual benefit 32 27

End of useful life salvage value 20 0

Useful life, in years 10 5

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculation of NPV of Alt A

First Cost = 200

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (2)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 32

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 32 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^10) / 0.10) = 32 * 6.14456710570468 = 196.63

PV of Salvage value = FV / (1 + r)^n ..................... (2)

Where;

FV = End of useful life salvage value = 20

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The normal formula for calculating the present value (PV) is being used here to calculate the PV of Salvage value

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of Salvage value = 20 / (1 + 0.10)^10 = 20 / 2.5937424601 = 7.71

Net present value (NPV) of Alt .A = PV of uniform annual benefit + PV of Salvage value - First cost = 196.63 + 7.71 - 200 = 4.34

b. Calculation of NPV of Alt B

First Cost = 100

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (3)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 27

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 5

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is also being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 27 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10) = 27 * 3.79078676940845 = 102.35

NPV of Alt B = PV of uniform annual benefit - First cost = 102.35 – 100 = 2.35

c. Decision

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

tatiyna

Answer:

B) countries with higher GDP per person tend to have healthier environments.

Explanation:

According to the 2020 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) elaborated by Yale and Columbia universities, a strong positive correlation exists between high GDP per capita and healthier environments. There are a few exceptions to this correlation, in Asian (especially Arab) countries where GDP per capita might be high, but the vast majority of income is received by a vary small number of people. But in the rest of the world, a high GDP per capita generally results in healthier environments.

Trevor always begins the day with a strawberry milkshake (milk (x1 ) and strawberries(x2) mixed in proportion 1:5). His income i

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Going by the question that the proportion of milk and strawberry for milk shake is 1:5.

If amount of milk is to be X1 that means the quantity of strawberry (X2) will be 5×X1, i.e., X2=5X1... Equation 1

And in addition, the milk and strawberry are complementary consumables as strawberry is of no use without milk and vice versa.

Budget equation will be as follows:

P1×X1+P2×5X1=M.... Equation 2

Given M=200, P1=15 & P2=1

Putting values in Equation 2

15×X1+1×5X1=200

X1=10 & X2=50(from equation 1)

Answer a)

With change in P1 from 15 to 5

Again putting values in Equation 2

5×X1+1×5X1=200

X1=20 & X2=100.

The total change in the demand of milk will increase from 10 units to 20 units.

Answer b)

Strawberry and milk are complementary goods here for that reason there would be no effect on substitution.

Answer c)

Since there will be no effect on substitution, total effect will be equal to income effect.

A stock will pay no dividends for the next 3 years. Four years from now, the stock is expected to pay its first dividend in the

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$24.59 or $24.6 or $25

Explanation:

Value of the share is the present value of dividend associated with that share. We need to calculate the present value of each dividend at year 2 and add them to determine the value of the share.

As given there is no dividend for 3 years,next dividend of $2.4 dividend will be discounted for two years and $3 dividend for three years. After that we need to calculate the present value using DVM and discount this value for 4 years.

Value of Stock = [ $2.4 (1+14%)^-2 ] + [ $3 (1+14%)^-3 ] + [ $3(1+5%) / (14%-5%) ] x (1+14%)^-4

Value of Stock = $1.85 + $2.02 + $20.72 = $24.59
