Answer:

It will take 3 years and 279 days to cover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $345,000

Annual cost saving:

Cf1= $220,000

Cf2 to 4= $100,000

Discount rate= 9%

<u>The payback period is the time required to cover for the initial investment:</u>

Year 1= (220,000/1.09) - 345,000= -143,165.14

Year 2= (100,000/1.09^2) - 143,165.14= -58,997.14

Year 3= (100,000/1.09^3) - 58,997.14= 18,221.21

<u>To be more accurate:</u>

(58,997.14/77,218.35)*365= 279 days

It will take 3 years and 279 days to cover for the initial investment.

Answer:

$1,667.67

Explanation:

Given:

Balance in savings account at the beginning of the year = $2,000

Price level at the beginning of the year = 100

Price level at the end of the year = 120

Anything that is worth $120 in the beginning of the year is worth $100 at the end of the year.

Anything worth $1 in the beginning is worth 100/120 at the end.

So, $2,000 is worth \frac{100}{120}\times2,000 = $1,667.67 at the end of the year.

Real value of savings is close to $1,667.67.

Roman55 [17]

False, since both roles are in the capacity of research and does not compromise results. So there is no conflict of interest in research.

Conflicts of interest are situations in which professional judgments or actions regarding a primary concern, such as a medical researcher's responsibilities, may be easily persuaded by a secondary interest, such as monetary benefit or professional advancement.

Many doctors work full-time for biotech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as medical device manufacturers. They work in research, product development, or administration. In fact, a few of them own the businesses. This is not conflict of interest.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The answer of each requirement is given below.

A.) record the events under an accounting equation

Accounting equation is given below.

Asset = Equity + Liability

Land + Cash = Equity + liability

12,000 + 4000 = 10,000 + 6,000

16,000 = 16,000

B.) After all events have been recorded, Jones's obligations to creditors represent what percent of total assets

Percentage = 6,000/16,000*100 = 37.5%

C.) after all events have been recorded, Jones stockholders equity represents what percent of total assets?

Equity percentage = 10,000/16,000* 100 = 62.5%

No, the company will not be able to pay debt as the company has acquired land of 12,000 dollars and has only 4,000 dollars in liquid form.
