Answer:

Kindly see explanation

Explanation:

Given the following:

Initial investment = $8,000,000

Future value (FV) = $10,000,000

PERIOD (t) = 5 Years

To know if the form should undertake the project, the present value(PV) at each interest rate should be calculated ;

A.) Interest rate (r) = 7% = 0.07

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.07)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.07^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.4025517307

PV = $7,129,861.79483668

Should not be undertaken, PV is less than initial investment.

B.) Interest rate (r) = 6% = 0.06

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.06)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.06^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.3382255776

PV = $7,472,581.72866057

Should not be undertaken, PV is less than initial investment.

C.) Interest rate (r) = 5% = 0.05

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.05)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.05^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.2762815625

PV = $7,835,261.66468459

Should not be undertaken, PV is less than initial investment

D.)Interest rate (r) = 4% = 0.04

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.04)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.04^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.2166529024

PV = $8,219,271.06759351

Should be undertaken, PV is greater than initial investment

Answer and Explanation:

The fixed quantity inventory system, the quantity of an order or the lot size is fixed in nature i.e. the similar amount means the quantity is ordered each and every time. It could be managed by continonusly watching the level of inventory. Example - economic order quantity

On the other hand, the fixed period inventory system is a system in which the inventory is to be checked at fixed inventory. It is same as the periodic reveiw system instead of the continuous basis. Example - drugstore

Brian, an industrial equipment sales rep, purchases a quick snack to eat on the way to work. He buys lunch while on the road vis

solniwko [45]

Answer: Option A

Explanation: A convenience store might be part of a gas / petrol station, allowing consumers to easily buy goods and services when fueling their vehicles. It may be situated along a busy highway, in a metropolitan area, alongside a train or train station, or at another regional hub.

Generally convenience stores charge significantly higher prices than traditional grocery stores or supermarkets, as these wholesalers order limited stock amounts at higher per-unit prices. Convenience stores, however, compensate for this deficit by providing longer open hours, more locations and shorter cashier lines.

One year has 52 weeks. If one week was unpaid leave, then payments were received for 51 weeks.

Average payments per week = $615

Total earning per week =$615 x 51

The total expenses for the year were $31,320. The surplus amount will be income minus expenses

= $31,365 - $31,320

Fill in the blanks to complete the passage regarding the development of illegal markets in response to price ceilings. – are ill

djverab [1.8K]

Black markets are illegal markets that emerge in response to price controls. A few buyers are able to obtain the good at the open-market price; the rest must resort to illegal means. The additional demand is met by underground suppliers selling at much higher prices.

The government does not support the black market or any of their actions with getting items and selling them in other forms. Those who are in demand of a good when they have a hard time in getting it may purchase it illegally at a higher price just so they can receive that good. When there is an exchange of goods in the black market, these items are usually prohibited by the government and therefor illegally being sold.
