Answer and Explanation:

1. The extra gain arises from Van first work hour i.e. from  8:00 AM to 9:00 AM is

= 80 - 0

= 80

2. The extra gain arises from Van third work hour i.e. from  10:00 AM to 11:00 AM is

= 180 - 140

= 40

3. He should select 3 hours of working and 1 hour reading as at the fourth hour for problem solving, he solves only

= 200 - 180

= 20

That brings better off study at it depicts the worth of 30 solving problems

Sub-prime loan company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below.
Nookie1986 [14]
To complete the above question, please see below:

Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) 

<span>WACC 10.0% </span>
<span>Opportunity cost $100,000 </span>
<span>Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) $65,000 </span>
<span>Straight-line depreciation rate for equipment 33.333% </span>
<span>Annual sales revenues $123,000 </span>
<span>Annual operating costs (excl. depreciation) $25,000 </span>
<span>Tax rate 35%
</span>
The answer is <span>12,271</span>

It is not appropriate to put it on the resume unless if asked or needed. But most of the time, it is not needed so the answer is false.
