Answer:

A factor company

Explanation:

A factor company is a finance company that specializes in purchasing company's accounts receivable,then goes ahead to collect the balances from the customers for a fee.

A factor company sometimes does this with a recourse to the company whose receivable has been factored or without a recourse.

With a recourse means that any accounts receivable balance uncollected would be transferred to the original company while without a recourse is the opposite situation

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

NPV of investment 1: $509,131

NPV of investment 2: $269,513

Explanation:

initial investment -$520,000

6 year useful life, depreciation per year = ($520,000 - $10,000) / 6 = $85,000

free cash flow per year = $150,000 + $85,000 = $235,000

free cash flow last year = $235,00 + $10,000 = $245,000

NPV = -$520,000 + $235,000/1.1 + $235,000/1.1² + $235,000/1.1³ + $235,000/1.1⁴ + $235,000/1.1⁵ + $245,000/1.1⁶ = -$520,000 + $213,636 + $194,215 + $176,559 + $160,508 + $145,917 + $138,296 = $509,131

initial investment -$380,000

8 year useful life, depreciation per year = ($380,000 - $20,000) / 6 = $60,000

free cash flow per year = $60,000 + $60,000 = $120,000

free cash flow last year = $120,00 + $20,000 = $140,000

NPV = -$380,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ + $120,000/1.1⁴ + $120,000/1.1⁵ + $120,000/1.1⁶ + $120,000/1.1⁷ + $140,000/1.1⁸= -$380,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 + $81,962 + $74,501 + $67,737 + $61,579 + $65,311 = $269,513

Sales revenue                 $250,000           $180,000      $430,000

Variable expenses              90,000              100,000         190,000

Contribution margin         $160,000             $80,000      $240,000

Direct fixed expenses          75,000               62,500          137,500

Total relevant benefit         $50,000            $(10,000)         $40,000

Operating income for the Smith's corporation as a whole if the Jackson's division were dropped

                                     Child  Division    

Sales revenue                 $250,000        

Variable expenses              90,000              

Contribution margin         $160,000            

Direct fixed expenses          75,000              

Segment margin                 $85,000              

Allocated common costs      62,500                

Total relevant benefit         $22,500            

Note that common fixed costs will be borne by the child division alone when the Jackson division is closed which is the entire 62,500 is deducted from the sales margin of child division before arriving at profit

What do inflation rates measure?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. The speed with which general prices are rising

Explanation:

Inflation measures the rate at which the general prices of goods and services are increasing in an economy. During inflation, the purchasing power of a country's currency is eroded.  Inflation means a selected basket of goods will cost more this period than it did in the previous season.

The consumer price index or CPI is the most acceptable index used in determining the rate of inflation. Inflation may result from high economic growth where firms and individuals have increased incomes resulting in too much money in circulation.  A moderate level of inflation is required to promote spending and sustain favorable economic growth.

Let's think about billions by looking at Bill Gates, president of Microsoft. One year, his personal wealth grew by $20 billion.
marta [7]

Answer:

No, he should <u>not</u> pick up the $100 bill

Explanation:

If his salary were those $20 billion (20,000,000,000) by a year. Let's find out how much this is by a second.

First let's find out how much is that salary by <em>a day</em>, then by <em>an hour</em>, then by <em>a minute</em> and finally by <em>a second</em>.

\frac{20,000,000,000}{year}*(\frac{1 year}{365d})*(\frac{1d}{24h})*(\frac{1}{60min} )*(\frac{1min}{60s} )  \\\\  =\frac{20,000,000,000}{365*24*60*60} \\ \\ =\frac{20,000,000,000}{31,536,000} \\ \\ =634.19

So he would be losing money if he picks up the $100 bill, because he would be missing 634 dollars per second.
