The differential analisys shows <u>cost will increase 322,100 if replaced.</u>
<u />
The sale from the old machine is an income for the relacement alternative.
the cost of the new machine is an expense
the value of the 7 years of manufacturing cost show a cost saving for 58,100
this savings, along with the proceeds from the old machine, doesn't cover the acquisition of the new machine. It is a bad investment.
Answer:
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
Explanation:
According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.
A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.
Answer: B
The marginal propensity to save will remain unchanged in each of the countries.
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the percentage of increase or decrease in income that goes to consumption
Marginal propensity to save (MPS) is the percentage of increase or decrease in income that goes into savings. It can also be expressed as:
1 - MPC
Average propensity to save measures the level of saving at a given level of income.
The marginal propensity to save measures changes in savings relative to changes in income but the income remains unchanged here, the MPS also remains unchanged.
Answer:
$34.63.
Explanation:
The Gordon Dividend Discount Model will be used to calculate the current share price. This model helps us to determine how much should we pay for a stock and the analysis is based on dividends, growth rate, and our required rate of return. The model is as follows:
![Po = D1 / (1 + r )^1 + D2 / (1 + r )^2 + D3 / (1 + r )^3 + D4 / (1 + r )^4 + D5 / (1 + r )^5 + D6 / (1 + r )^6 + [(D7 / r - g) / (1 + r)^6]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Po%20%3D%20D1%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E1%20%2B%20D2%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E2%20%2B%20D3%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E3%20%2B%20D4%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E4%20%2B%20D5%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E5%20%2B%20D6%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E6%20%2B%20%5B%28D7%20%2F%20r%20-%20g%29%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%29%5E6%5D)
where
Po = Current market Price
D1 = Dividend Paid * (1 + g)
D2 = D1 (1 + g) ; D3 = D2 (1 + g) ; D4 = D3 (1 + g) ; D5 = D4 (1 + g)
D6 = D5 (1 + g) ; D7 = D6 (1 + g)
This implies that:
![Po = 2.7507 / (1.15)^1 + 2.8552 / (1.15)^2 + 2.9637 / (1.15)^3 + 3.0763 / (1.13)^4 + 3.1932 / (1.13)^5 + 3.3146 / (1.13)^6 + [(3.4405/.11 - .038) / (1.13)^6]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Po%20%3D%202.7507%20%2F%20%281.15%29%5E1%20%2B%202.8552%20%2F%20%281.15%29%5E2%20%2B%202.9637%20%2F%20%281.15%29%5E3%20%2B%203.0763%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E4%20%2B%203.1932%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E5%20%2B%203.3146%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E6%20%2B%20%5B%283.4405%2F.11%20-%20.038%29%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E6%5D)
⇒ Current Market Price = $34.63.
Note: Figures are rounded up-to 4 decimal points. A difference of up-to $2 would not affect your scores as far as the methodology is correct.
Answer:
The interest rate is 11%
Explanation:
The loan amount = $50000
Interest amount = $5500
Since the annual interest amount and the principal amount is given so we have to find the interest rate by using the given information. Below is the formula to find the interest rate.
Let the interest rate = x
Principal × interest rate = Interest amount
$50000 × r = $5500
r = $5500 / $50000
r = 0.11 or 11%
The interest rate is 11%
