Answer: See explanation below for answer.

Explanation: In micro-economics, a discretionary expense refers to a cost that a business or household can actually do without, if necessary. These expenses are often wants rather than needs. Case in point, a business may allow employees to charge certain meal and entertainment costs to the company.

In macro-economics, discretionary spending is the type of government spending that is implemented through an appropriations bill. What this means is that the spending is an optional part of fiscal policy, which is quite the opposite of entitlement programs for which require mandatory funding and are determined by the number of qualified recipients.

Some examples of areas funded by discretionary spending are national defense, foreign aid, education and transportation.

Discretionary spending must always be deliberated upon by Congress through the annual appropriations process each year.

Raking 18% interest rate:

1) 1 year

2) 5 years

3) 10 years

Explanation:

You have to apply to bring the amount of money to present value, according with the information, the formula is the next:

Present Value = Future Value/((1+ interest rate)^(n))

Where n is the number of years that you have to wait to receive the money.

You have to calculate every situation with the respective amount of time and interest rate, the result must be money. and when you get the 9 results, you have to compare every situation and chose the higher amount of money according to the interest rate, for example:

Present value = 140/ ((1+10%)^(1))= 127

= 140/ ((1+10%)^(5))= 149

= 140/ ((1+10%)^(5))= 135

So the answer for the first scenario with an interest rate of 10% is:

Explanation:

Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1 = -5800 + 3805.31 = -1994.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 =-1994.69 + 3132.59 = 1137.90

Payback period = 1 + 1994.69/3132.59 = 1.64 years

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1 = -7900 + 3805.31 = -4094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 = -4094.69 + 3132.59 = -962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3 = -962.10 + 3603.86 = 2641.76

Payback period = 2 years + -962.10 / 3603.86 = 2.27 years

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1 = -10900 + 3805.31 = -7094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 = -7094.69 + 3132.59 = -3962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3 = -3962.10 + 3603.86 = -358.24

Present value in year 4 = 4400 / (1.13^4) = 2698.60

Amount recovered in year 4 = -358.24 + 2698.60 = 2340.36

Payback period = 3 years + 358.24 + 2698.60 = 3.13 years
