Answer:
Project A's payback period = 2.23 years
Project B's payback period = 3.3 years
Explanation:
project A project B
initial investment $290,000 $210,000
useful life 6 years 11 years
yearly cash flow $83,653 + $46,500 $46,000 + $17,727
= $130,153 = $63,727
salvage value $11,000 $15,000
payback period $290,000 / $130,153 $210,000 / $63,727
= 2.23 years = 3.3 years
Answer:
C) lack of venture capital for innovative products.
Explanation:
Embryonic industries are such industries that are at the beginning stage in their life-cycle. More specifically, newly established ventures are called the embryonic industry or firm.
Options A, B, D, and E all are wrong because a new firm may not produce high qualified first products. It may not have the right complementary products, the production cost may be higher than expected, and finally, there are a few distribution points. Those lead to the slow growth of the embryonic industry.
Option C is the answer because venture capitalists like to invest in innovative products, so there should not be a lack of capital.

Answer:
The chosen option (considering enrollment costs and opportunity cost) is:
b) College course.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Costs/Benefits
College Course Community Course
Cost $2,600 $1,390
Opportunity costs -2,080 2,080
Net costs $520 $3,470
Distance to course 0.40 miles 16 miles
(walking distance) (driving distance)
Timing of course Weekday Weekend
Number of meetings 16 8
b) With the College course option, you will earn $2,080 ($260 * 8) weekdays to offset part of the enrollment cost. With the Community course option, $2,080 will be lost in opportunity cost, thereby increasing the total costs incurred. These costs are apart from the driving costs associated with traveling 16 miles to the Community Course at the local library.
