Answer:

A.$141.80

Explanation:

Present Value of Trish payments = P+P\frac{1-(1+(r/m))^{-(n-1)} }{r/m}

Present Value of Trish payments = $450 + $450 \frac{1-(1+(0.095/12))^{-(48-1)} }{0.095/12}

Present Value of Trish payments = $180,54

Present Value of Josh payments = P\frac{1-(1+(r/m))^{-n} }{r/m}

Present Value of Josh payments = $450 \frac{1-(1+(0.095/12))^{-48} }{0.095/12}

Present Value of Josh payments = $17,912

Difference between two payments = 18054 - 17912 = 141

Peg's Manicure Manor did 4,000 sets of nails in 2015 and 4,500 sets of nails in 2016. The price of a set of nails was $20 in 201
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. $80,000
  2. $80,000

Explanation:

The nominal GDP includes all the production of final and legal products and services. The real GDP is the nominal GDP adjusted to inflation.

Peg's contribution to nominal GDP in 2015 was $80,000 (4,000 nail sets x $20 per nail set). If 2015 was the base year, in this case real GDP is the same as nominal GDP.

sergey [27]

Answer: He should decline production of the machine.

Explanation:

Analyzing the problem, we can determine if he should proceed or not by calculating the Net present value. That is present value of the machine in terms of perpetuity as it will be used forever and the cost incurred in its production.

Given the following ;

To manufacture $200 = 1 year, meaning

Amount or yearly payment = $200

Cost of machine = $2,000

Interest rate(r) = 11.5% = 0.115

Recall;

Present the value if perpetuity ;

(Payment per period ÷ rate)

= $200 ÷ 0.115 = $1739.13

Net present value = $1,739.13 - $2000 = - 260.87

Given the negative value of NPV, the cost outweighs the benefit, hence, he should decline.

Can I get help on this job application please ?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The answer is below.

Explanation:

Most likely to do:

"Ask your store Manager if you can hold the markdown price for them so they can get it for the same price when it is back in store."

Doing the above will ensure you retain the customer's trust, and while you didn't direct your customer to a competitor, which is detrimental.

Least Likely to do:

"Offer to provide the address and phone number for the nearest store, and explain that stores get frequent shipments with new items."

Doing the above is detrimental to your store, as you will be sending your customers to a direct competitor.
