Answer:

The value of the option to wait is $0.70,option A.

Explanation:

In calculating the value of the option to wait,I discounted all cash flows under both alternatives, using the discount rate of 12% as given in the question.

Option to start now gives net present value(positive return ) of $360.64 while the other one gives $361.34,invariably option to wait one year gives $0.70($361.34-$360.64) more than the option to start now.

The formula used in the calculating present value is PV=FV(1+r)^n

Where PV=present value

FV=future value

r=rate of interest

n=number of year

Enforceable via employee agent

Explanation:

The definition of agency law deals with agent-principal relationships; that is a relationship where one party has the legal authority to act in place of another. Relationships that are commonly associated with agency law include employer-employee, administrator-decedent or executor, and guardian-ward.

Agreements that result in the formation of agency-type relationships can be implied or express, and both the principal and the agent can be an entity (such as partnership or corporation) or individual.

Here in the given situation, since, Elaine is an employee of the business and knowledgeable enough to deal with the contract filing, it is implied that she is acting as an employee agent, that she can help the customer in filing the contract.

A factory costs $460,000. You forecast that it will produce cash inflows of $150,000 in year 1, $210,000 in year 2, and $360,000
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a.Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

=150,000/1.12+210,000/1.12^2+360,000/1.12^3

=557580.18

NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows                  

=557580.18-460,000

=$97580.18(Approx)=Value of factory

b.Hence since net present value is positive;factory is a good investment

(Yes)

SpyIntel [72]

Answer: c. Financial markets are a critical components of economic success

Explanation:

Economic success runs on companies and individuals being able to produce goods and services for the economy. To be able to do so they need capital to invest and most times they don't have that capital.

This is where Finance comes in. It connects people who do not have the capital but want to produce to those that have the capital but do not necessarily want to produce.

The huge amounts of money that finance attracts is channelled to those who need it. They then produce and the economy becomes successful.
