Answer: 1 year and 6 months

Explanation:

The cash flows are as follows,

Year 0 = ($2,500)

Year 1 = $1,500

Year 2 = $1,500

Year 3 = $1,500

Payback period is the time it will take to break even the intial investment (In this question the initial investment is $2,500)

The sum of the cashflows of year1 and year2 is equal to $3,000

which means that the payback period is somewhere bbetween year 1 and year2

1500/3000 = 0.5 year or 6 months

the total payback period is 1 year and 6 months

Your grandparents deposit $2,000 each year on your birthday, starting the day you are born, in an account that pays 7% interest
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The money you will have is $98020.

Explanation:

It is given that grandparents deposit $2,000 each year on birthday and the account pays 7% interest compounded annually also the time is 21 years.

we will use the compound interest formula  A=P (1 + \frac{r}{100})^{t}.

For the first birthday the amount after 21 yr will be:

A=2000(1+\frac{7}{100})^{21}

Similarly for the second birthday amount after 20yr will be:

A=2000(1+\frac{7}{100})^{20}

likewise, the last compound will be:

A=2000(1+\frac{7}{100})^1

The total value of such compounding would be :

\text {Total amount}=2000(1+\frac{7}{100})^{21}+2000(1+\frac{7}{100})^{20}...2000(1+\frac{7}{100})^{1}

\text {Total amount}=2000[(1+\frac{7}{100})^{21}+(1+\frac{7}{100})^{20}...(1+\frac{7}{100})^{1}]

\text{Total amount} \approx 2000(48.01)

\text{Total amount} \approx 96020

The total amount just after your grandparents make their​ deposit  is:

≈($96020+2000)

≈$98020

Hence, the money you will have is $98020.

So sánh xuất khẩu trực tiếp và xuất khẩu gián tiếp?
muminat

Answer:

so sánh  về  mặt ưu và nhược :

Explanation:

* Ưu điểm

- Xuất khẩu trực tiếp: Thông qua việc đàm phán, trao đổi trực tiếp với các đơn vị mà đôi bên có thể dễ dàng đi đến thống nhất chung, ít xảy ra các hiểu lầm, do đó mà:

·        Tăng lợi nhuận và doanh thu cho doanh nghiệp vì giảm thiểu được chi phí tối đa cho các bên trung gian.

·        Tạo điều kiện phát huy tính độc lập của doanh nghiệp

·        Chủ động, tích cực trong việc tiêu thụ hàng hóa, sản phẩm do chính doanh nghiệp sản xuất ra.

- Xuất khẩu gián tiếp:

·        Đơn vị đứng ra nhận ủy thác thực hiện nhiệm vụ xuất khẩu hàng hóa là nhưng người hiểu rõ và nắm chắc tình hình thị trường, các thủ tục pháp luật, do đó việc buôn bán được đẩy mạnh hơn, phát triển nhanh hơn.

·        Đơn vị nhận ủy thác không cần bỏ vốn vào kinh doanh nhưng vẫn có được một khoản doanh thu đáng kể.

* Nhược điểm:

- Xuất khẩu trực tiếp:

·        Chi phí thực hiện cho việc giao dịch khá cao bởi vậy khối lượng hàng hóa xuất khẩu cũng phải lớn bù đắp các chi phí.

·        Dễ xảy ra rủi ro bởi nếu đội ngũ nhân viên không đủ trình độ và kinh nghiệm xử lý công việc, thực hiện các thủ tục hợp đồng sẽ có thể mắc phải các sai lầm đáng tiếc.

- Xuất khẩu gián tiếp:

·        Đơn vị xuất nhập khẩu có thể mất đi sự liên kết với thị trường do phải đáp ứng các chính sách, yêu cầu của đơn vị trung gian.

·        Lợi nhuận không trọn gói và phải sẻ chia cho đơn vị trung gian.

5. An investor is interested in purchasing a 30-year U.S. government bond carrying an 8 percent coupon rate. The bond’s current
ella [17]

Answer:

Holding period yield is 114.97%

effective yield is 8.72%

Explanation:

holding period yield=(Price at call-initial price+coupon payments)/initial price

                                =($970-$935)+(13*$80)/$935

                                 =($35+$1040 )/$935

                                 =$1075/$935

                                  =114.97%

The effective yield is the yield to call which can be computed using the excel rate formula:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of payments before the call which is 13

pmt is the periodic payment by bond which is $1000*8%=$80

pv is the current market price of $935

fv is the bond price at end of 13 years at $970

=rate(13,80,-935,970)

rate=8.72%

Jose, a migrant worker who lived in a mobile home, died in a fire. The smoke alarm of the mobile home malfunctioned and did not
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

  • Breach of duty.
  • Strict liability.
  • Recklessness.
  • Negligence per se

And this is the correct answer:

  • Negligence per se

Explanation:

Negligence per se consist in act that is neglectful, or unlawful, because it explicitely violates a statue or regulation.

In this case, the statue was the new state law that required smoke detectors to be maintained. The company that installed the smoke detector inside Jose's house clearly did not maintain the detector because otherwise, it would have gone off when the fire started, and Jose probably would not have died.

It is a negligence per se from the smoke detector company, and Jose's wife can lawfully sue them for that very reason.
