Howie Long has just learned he has won a $506,300 prize in the lottery. The lottery has given him two options for receiving the

payments.
(1) If Howie takes all the money today, the state and federal governments will deduct taxes at a rate of 46% immediately.

(2) Alternatively, the lottery offers Howie a payout of 20 equal payments of $37,000 with the first payment occurring when Howie turns in the winning ticket. Howie will be taxed on each of these payments at a rate of 26%.

Required:

1. Compute the present value of the cash flows for lump sum payout.

2. Assuming Howie can earn an 8% rate of return (compounded annually) on any money invested during this period, compute the present value of the cash flows for annuity payout.

3. Which pay-out option should he choose?

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

A).Present Value of the Cash Flow for the Lump Sum Payout

= Prize of Lottery Amount × (1 -Tax Rate)

= $506,300 × (1 - 0.46)

= $506,300 × 0.54

= $273,402

B).Present Value of the Cash Flows for Annuity Payout is

= Annuity Payment × (1 - Tax Rate) × PVIFA 8%,20 Years × (1  + Rate of Return)

= $37,000 × (1 - 0.26) × 9.8181 × (1 + .08)

= $37,000 × 0.74 × 9.8181 × 1.08

= $290,325

c). According to the analysis, $290,325 is more than the $273,402, So he should be chooses option (b) $290,325 as a payout option.

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

Money spent to clean up a toxic waste site in Ohio is part of government spending and it would be added in GDP

Andre paying Ted for a haircut in Chicago is part of consumption spending and it would be added as part of GDP

Revenue generated by legal medical marijuana sales in California is part of consumption spending and it would be added as part of GDP

1. Think about all of the many products you can purchase today. Identify one product that currently represents each phase of the
olganol [36]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

We can take a Andriod smartphone as one of the product. Definitely, each unique smartphones including both the high and low-end products represent the four distinct stages of product life cycle. The nature of competition, price, distribution and promotion can be differentiated well among different stages of the life cycle.

As far a competition is concerned, at the introduction phase, the competition will be too high. For the high-end phone coming with unique features (i.e. unique value to the customer) will face less severe competition at this time. As the growth phase comes, the uniqueness will disappear as others will also come out with similar features in their features. As a result, the competition will intensify and will reach the maximum at the maturity of the product.

The pricing strategy at different stages will depend upon the generic strategy of the company. At the introduction stage, if the company is having a differentiation strategy, it usually goes for a premium price. Others, having cost leadership strategy will go for low price. Sometimes the low price is kept initially at a very thin or zero margins just to capture the market share. However, for smartphones, this is very difficult. As competition intensifies in growth and maturity, the price falls. This is the fate generally with most of the Andriod smartphones as their features are not inimitable. Huge discounts in price can be observed for smartphones at their decline phase due to obsolescence of technology.

It has become a trend nowadays to initially distribute the smartphones through an online retail partner where the smartphone manufacturer gives an exclusive right to the retail partner to sell the initial lots. The retailer first books the order and then does the transaction. As the product gets publicity and attains its growth, it is sold in other places such as company outlets, bricks-and-mortar retailers, supermarkets, eStores etc. up to the maturity and decline phase.

As in distribution, the promotion becomes huge by the online retail partner at the introduction phase. The smartphone manufacturer also uses direct marketing, imagery, and social media marketing as primary tools at this phase.

A cylindrical can that has a capacity of 20 m3 will be made. The metal used to build the top costs $10 per square meter while th
Alchen [17]

The dimensions of the cylinder can be used to minimise cost of manufacture.

<h3>How to we find minimised cost?</h3>

Let's ignore the metal's thickness and assume that the material cost to manufacture is precisely proportionate to the surface area of a perfect cylinder.

A=2πr(r+h)

Given that V=1000=r2h and h=1000=r2, we can write

A=2πr(r+1000πr2)

A=2πr2+2000r−1

By setting the derivative to zero, we may determine the value of r that minimises A:

A′=4πr−2000r−2

0=4πr−2000r−2

2000r−2=4πr

2000=4πr3

r=500π−−−√3

r=5.419 + cm

h=1000πr2=10.838 + cm

The can with the smallest surface area has a volume of 1000 cm 3 and measures 5.419+ cm in radius and 10.838+ cm in height. The can has a surface area of 553.58 cm 2. Given a constant volume, the cylinder with diameter equal to height has the least surface area.

Can surface area (cm2) versus. radius (cm), where capacity = 1000cm 3.
