Answer :
Correct answer is Option (e)
Explanation :
As per the data given in the question,
Option (e) is the correct answer, which indicates that Event 2nd should probably get the most attention and Event 3rd should probably get the least.
The reason behind it is Event 2nd has the highest probability of occurrence at 0.6 and cost associated with it is also the greatest at $54,000. Event 3rd has the least probability of occurrence at 0.1 and the cost associated with its occurrence is also the smallest at $12,000.Therefore this Event should be given least importance.
Answer:
Management might opt for other than the most economical choice because:
- Controlling. E.g. Franchise can be helpful to increase earnings fast but the uncertainly of quality supplied by franchisees can hurt a firm in the long run.
- Branding. E.g. Some firms have a reputation for their hand-made products. Industrialized production can reduce cost per unit and increase productivity but the brand surely is affected.

C. A possible cause of economic fluctuations is due to the use of fiscal policy for political purposes.
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>During political business cycles the ups and downs of the economy are best explained through analyzing public policy.

In 1972, the Nixon administration basically increased the Social Security payments made to Seniors by 20%, 1972, was of course an election year, so the Nixon administration manipulated economic fluctuations due to his fiscal policy.</em>

If the company requires a return of 10 percent for such an investment, calculate the present value of the project.
The present value of the project is $72349.51.
Since we consider only incremental cash flows for a project, we consider $21,600 for year one and calculate a 4% increase for each of the additional years.
We then calculate the Present Value Interest Factor (PVIF) at 10% for four years using the formula :
PVIF = 1 / [(1+r)^n]
Next, we find the product of the respective cash flows and PVIF for each year.
Finally, we find the total of the discounted cash flows for the four years to find the Present Value of the project.
