Answer:
d. Matt's statement is positive while Jean's statement is normative
Explanation:
A positive statement can be defined as any statement that is typically based on empirical evidence and as such can be tested, proven and verified. Also, a positive statement can be amended or rejected based on evidences that are available.
On the other hand, a normative statement can be defined as any statement that can't be tested, proven or verified because it is judgmental and based on opinions.
In this scenario, Matt observes that "there is a high correlation between educational attainment and the level of income." Jean concurs and adds that "high school graduates should all proceed to college"
Hence, Matt's statement is positive because it is an observation based on empirical evidence while Jean's statement is normative because it's simply his opinion or a value judgment.
Answer:
The answer is $12,297.
Explanation:
Denote x is the minimum amount of after-tax annual savings (including depreciation effects) needed to make the investment yield a 12% return.
As required in the question, at $X annual after-tax saving, the net present value of the project discounted at the required return 12% will be equal to 0. So, we have:
- Net initial investment + Present value of cash inflow from asset disposal in 5-year + Present value of 5 after-tax annual savings = 0 <=> -50,000 + 10,000 x 0.567 + X x 3.605 = 0 <=> 3.605X = 44,330 <=> X = $12,297 (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).
Thus, the answer is $12,297.
Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06
Explanation:
P1= $2,750
P2=$2,880
Q1=446,000
Q2=321,000
Elasticity = -0.76
Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.
