Answer:
A. 3.8 YEARS
B YES
C $325.91
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
payback period = amount invested / cash flows
$1,900 / $500 = 3.8 years
the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than the maximum acceptable year
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-1900
cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $500
I = 4%
NPV = $325.91
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

B. Cross-sectional data provides information about economic behavior at an instant in time, while time-series data provides information about how an economic variable behaves over time.
Explanation:
There are two types of data, transverse data and time series data. Cross-sectional data is data that exists at a single point in time. For example, data from an observational survey or sales from a firm. Time series data are data that require intertemporal analysis, such as a country's inflation and GDP data, which should be analyzed for evolution. In other words, time series data are analyzed in a manner dependent on the previous period. Current month's inflation depends on the previous month's inflation analysis.
<h3>Hello there!</h3>
Your question asks what the purpose of a safety stock is.
<h3>Answer: B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand and/or lead time.</h3>
The reason why answer choice "B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand and/or lead time" is the correct answer because companies have safety stocks to control the chances of having a stock out.
Safety stocks are also known as a "reserve" for a company, in other words, stocks that a company doesn't touch. It's to ensure that companies don't go through a time where there's an increase in demand while there is a "delay" in production.
If a companies stock demand goes up, but then they can't "produce" the amount that is needed to meet the demand, then they will go through "stock out" and have to go through what is called "stock out costs."
Safety stocks are also known as a "rainy-day" stock, due to the fact that safety stocks are used when a company are not having a great day with the "demand" / "value" of their stocks. It's just to "ensure" / "keep the company safe" from a huge stock out.
