When a closed economy is in equilibrium, we know with certainty that

1. A new furnace for your small factory will cost $27,000 to install and will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $1,500

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

payback 3.29 years

NPV 87,158.55

Explanation:

PO 27,000

Cash flow saving Y1

2400 x 3.5 = 8,400

expenditures (1,500)

net savings 6,900

Cash flow saving Y2

The price will increase 0.5

6,900 + 2,400 x 0.5 = 8,100

Cash flow saving Y3 to Y20

The price will increase 0.5

8,100 + 2,400 x 0.5 = 9,300

We have an annuity of 18 years for 9,300 cash

And then we have a cash flow of 6,900

and another of 8,100

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C = 9,300

r = 8%

time = 18

$9,300 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-18} }{0.08} = PV\\$

PV = 87,158.55

Now this values are years into the future, so we need to bring them to present day.

$\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

year 1 principal 6,900

6,900/1.08 = 6,388.89

year 2 principal 8,100

$\frac{8,100}{(1 + 0.08)^{2} } = PV$

PV= 5,915.64

year 3 annuity 87,158.55

$\frac{87,158.55}{(1 + 0.08)^{3} } = PV$

PV= 69,189.27

cash flow - investment = net present value

69,189.27 + 5,915.64 + 6,388.89 - 27,000 = 54,493.8

The payback will be the time perdion when the project recovers it initial cost:

we first add the income from the irregular years and subtract from the investment

6,900 + 8,100 = 15,000

27,000 - 15,000 = 12,000

then we use the general formula investment/cash flow per year

12,000/9,300 = 1.29

the project need the first two years and then 1.29 years

2 + 1.29 = 3.29 years

D. has slowly lost ground to emerging command systems.

Answer:

B. effectively harnesses the incentives of workers and entrepreneurs.

Explanation:

An economic system can be defined as a series of governmental or societal arrangements and a coordinating mechanism used for the allocation of available resources, economic inputs, goods and services across a particular country. The economic system differs according to the method used to coordinate economic activities and who the factors of production belongs to.

Generally, there are basically two (2) main types of economic systems and these are;

1. Command systems.

2. Market systems.

The market system effectively harnesses the incentives of workers and entrepreneurs because workers are able to engage in division of labor and are well compensated for their efficiency in service while the entrepreneur are usually rewarded with an increase in sales and profits.

The market system allows participants to have property rights such as trademarks, patents and copyright. Also, market systems are regulated by the competition among individuals (traders or entrepreneurs) and this gives direction to the market as they pursue self interests and are independent.

Groups of related business activities such as the acquisition of merchandise and payment of vendors are called transaction cycles.

A transaction cycle is an interlocking set of business transactions. Most of those transactions may be aggregated into a comparatively small number of transaction cycles associated with the sale of products, payments to suppliers, payments to employees, and payments to lenders.

A transaction cycle is a set of accounting transaction that happens in a very normal sequence as an example a sales transaction is followed by shipping transaction, a billing transaction, and a cash receipts transaction.

Therefore, there are four transaction cycles which are the following:- Financial cycle, expenditure cycle, revenue cycle, conversion cycle.

Real per capita GDP in Singapore in 1960 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1977. a. What was the average annual

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

4.16%

Explanation:

to calculate Singapore's economic growth rate we can use the future value formula (we could also use the rule of 72 but it is not very exact):

future value = present value x (1 + r) ⁿ

future value = 900
present value = 450
n = 17
r = ?

900 = 450 (1 + r)¹⁷

(1 + r)¹⁷ = 900 / 450 = 2

1 + r = ¹⁷√2 = 1.0416

r = 1.0416 - 1 = 0.0416 or 4.16%
