Answer:

 

Explanation:

a ) We shall calculate the NPV of the project . If it is positive , then money can be invested

Cash outflow in the beginning =1000

Present value of perpetual annuity of 100 at 9.5 %

100 / .095

= 1052.63

which is more than initial cash outflow

So NPV is positive

Hence money can be invested.

b )

If machine takes one year to build , first year cash outflow of 100 will be absent

Present value of 100 after 1 year

= 100 / 1.095

= 91.32

So present value of annuity

= 1052.63 - 91.32

= 961.31

This is less than 1000 so

NPV is negative.

Hence money can not be invested.

Most resources are nonrenewable, and wants and needs are limited. This is an example of?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

scarcity.

Explanation:

Scarcity can be defined as an economical problem that gives the relationship between non-renewable (limited) resources and the limitless wants and needs of consumers.

Basically, it's very important that producers of goods and services make decisions that would help them on how to efficiently allocate scarce or limited resources, in order to meet the unending requirements, wants and needs of consumers.

In Economics, an example of scarcity is that most of the resources used for the manufacturing of finished goods and services are nonrenewable, and as a result, the wants and needs of the end users or consumers are limited. Thus, economists would advise that economies should decide on what to produce, how to produce, when to produce and for whom to produce due to the finite and limited nature of resources i.e the concept of scarcity.

Answer:

<u>e. owners of sole proprietorships can lose all their personal assets if the business is sued or fails.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember</em>, in a sole proprietorship form of business ownership, the owner's personal assets are not usually separated from the business since the business isn't viewed as a separate legal entity.

Hence, in a case where the business incurs liability or sued/fails, <u>the owner's personal assets can be targeted in the lawsuit and may lead to loss of </u><u>all their personal assets.</u>
