Answer:
c. The medical center will prevail based upon the written contract
Explanation:
Since they later signed a written contract where it is stated in paper and has their signature that the medical center could not assure nor take any responsibilities for the birth of a kid without any medical, mental or physical defects the medical center has the upperhand on the court, as well as they did in Scalisi et al. v. New York University Medical Center that promised a perfect designed baby, the Scalsi decided for invitro fertilization because of the wife´s family medical history and tendency to autism, and they ended up with a baby with autism, so they sue the New York University Medical center, but the court sided with the NYUMC because of the written contract where it stated that they couldn´t assure the baby to be born without any medica, mental or physical defects.

Answer:
Correct answer is letter C, book value
Explanation:
The value of an asset at the end of its useful life is called residual value, salvage value, scrap value or break-up value. While book value on the other hand is the value of an asset after we deduct the accumulated depreciation from the cost of an asset. It is sometimes referred to us the carrying value of an asset we netting the asset against its accumulated depreciation.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The IRR is 5%. Rate of return would be 12.5% assuming a discount rate of 4%
Explanation:
The answer depends entirely on the discount rate. The question covers a 30 period timeframe and in each period, the pay off is $13 million. This is a simple time value of money concept in which to calculate the present value, you will simply calculate the present value of each of the cash flows. The formula is 13Mn/[(1+r)^n] where n is the year from 1 to 30, r is the discount rate.
The question requires us to calculate the return that is the variable 'r'. For this you need to have the present value today so that you can then use the equation to solve for 'r'. However, the only information we have is the time period and the cash flow. We are given $200mn as the initial outlay. So, we can at least use this to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) which is simply the rate of return (or the value of 'r') at which the present value of each of the 13 Mn to be received over the next 30 years is equal to the initial outlay (i.e 200mn). In short, IRR is the rate of return at which the net present value (NPV) is equal to zero. In our example, and using the formula for each of the cash flow from years 1 to 30, the IRR is computated at 5%. So if the discount rate that the company uses is less than 5%, the company would be better of with Joe accepting the offer because any discount rate below 5% would result in the present value of the cash flows to be in excess of $200Mn.
Lets take an example and assume that the discount rate is 4%, using the formula from year 1 to 30 and summing the values would give us a present value of $225 Mn. So the rate lf return in this case would be (225-200)/200 x 100 = 12.5%.
