Answer:

The median voter here is $55 based on the allocated points in order of preference.

This is the vote that avoids the two extremes of 5 and 7

Explanation:

Voting with the Borda count system of voting:

$0 $15 $55

Andrew 1 3 2

Sam 1 2 3

Darnell 3 2 1

Total points 5 7 6

The median voter is the selection that is based on choosing the median in a spectrum, so that the extremes are avoided. In this case, the extremes win points 5 and 4, with the median as 6.

The voting was done by using the Borda count system of voting. With this system, points are allocated based on personal preferences. The preference that is favored most is given the highest point, and so on. This implies that the preference that is least favoured is given the lowest point.

A project costs $12,800 and is expected to provide a real cash inflow of $10,000 at the end of each of years 1 through 5. Calcul

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Net Present Value = $28756.79

Explanation:

First we need find the real rate of interest

Real rate of interest = (Nominal rate of interest - Inflation rate )

Real Rate of interest = (10.76% - 4%)

Real of Interest = 6.76%

Now using stream of cash flows and discount the at 6.76%

0 -12800 1.000

1 10000 0.937

2 10000 0.877

3 10000 0.822

4 10000 0.770

5 10000 0.721

Through multiplying discount value with cash flow we get the discounted value of cash flows.

0 -12800 x 1.000 = -12800

1 10000 x 0.937 = 9370

2 10000 x 0.877 = 8770

3 10000 x 0.822 = 8220

4 10000 x 0.770 = 7700

5 10000 x 0.721 = 7210

Adding the discounted cash flows we get the value of Net present value and that is equal to $28756.79

Four investment bankers need to cross a bridge at night to get to a meeting. They have only one flashlight and 17 minutes to get

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Correct Answer:

The correct sequence of crossing include:

First, the Analyst takes the flashlight and crosses the bridge with the Associate. This takes 2 minutes. The Analyst then returns across the bridge with the flashlight taking 1 more minute (3 minutes passed so far). The Analyst gives the flashlight to the VP and the VP and MD cross together taking 10 minutes (13 minutes passed so far).

The VP gives the flashlight to the Associate, who recrosses the bridge taking 2 minutes (15 minutes passed so far). The Analyst and Associate now cross the bridge together taking 2 more minutes. Now, all are across the bridge at the meeting in exactly 17 minutes.

Explanation:

The above is the only logical way through which all of them could be able to cross the bridge while still arriving to the meeting at/on the exact time.
