Answer:

A potential disadvantage when considering long-term loans as an option for raising capital is:

D. They require diluting ownership in organizations.

Explanation:

This potential disadvantage becomes a reality when the long-term loans are converted into shares. At this point, the ownership in the organization is diluted. Ownership dilution reduces the percentage of the ownership of shares in the entity. The investment becomes less attractive to the original owners since more owners are brought on board.

Answer:

Yes, you should take the MBA because the NPV of taking the MBA is positive.

Explanation:

the total economic costs of taking the MBA program include the lost wages + the costs of taking the MBA and any interest you could have earned by investing it on something else = ($50,000 x 1.03) + ($50,000 x 1.03²) + (2 x $30,000 x 1.08) = $51,500 + $53,045 + $64,800 = $169,345

the present value of your total economic costs:

$51,500/1.08 + $53,045/1.08² + $32,400/1.08 + $32,400/1.08² = $47,685.19 + $45,477.54 + $30,000 + $27,777.78 = $150,940.51

if you continued to work, your salary at year 3 would be $54,636.35 and it would continue to increase by 3% every year. The salary that you can earn with an MBA is $80,000 and it will grow by 4% per year. I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate future salaries and the differential amount between them. Then I calculated the PV at the beginning of year 3 of the differential income.

The PV of the differential income today = $560,281.31 /1.08³ = $444,769.38

the NPV of taking an MBA = $444,769.38 - $150,940.51 = $293,828.87

The treasurer of a major U.S. firm has $40 million to invest for three months. The interest rate in the United States is .28 per

diamong [38]

Answer:

Check the explanation as follows.

Explanation:

a) If it is invested in US

Current= $40 million

Interest rate= 0.28% p.m

Interest for 1 month= $40 million*0.28%= $0.112 million

Interest for 3 months= $0.112*3= $0.336 million

Total value after 3 months= $40 million+$0.336 million = $40336000.

b) If it is invested in Great Britain.

Convert $40 million into Pounds= $40 million*0.639 = Pound 25.56 million

Ivest in Great Britain for 3 months @ 0.32%

Interest per month= 25.56 million*0.32% *3 = 0.245376

Total Pounds after 3 months= Pound 25.805376

Convert into $= 25.805376/0.642 = $40195289.7156

Value if invested in great britain= $40195289.7156

Even though the useful life or the warehouse and parking lot is longer than 10 years, since the lease contract is only for 10 years, then it must be depreciated in 10 years.

You are trying to explain to your friends the importance of using real GDP to measure economic health over time, but some of the

Yuri [45]

Answer: $15,909.09

Explanation:

Nominal GDP is the value of goods and services that is calculated on the basis of current year prices whereas Real GDP is the value of goods and services that is determined on the basis of Base year prices. If we are using the identical price for both the years for calculating GDP then we can see the increment in the current year GDP from the last year. This means that the quantity of goods produced in the current year is larger than the last year. That's why it is important to use Real GDP rather than Nominal GDP.

Given that,

Nominal GDP (millions of dollars) = $14000

Price level (GDP deflator) = 88

$\text{GDP dflator}=\frac{Nominal\ GDP}{Real\ GDP}\times100$

$\text{88}=\frac{14,000}{Real\ GDP}\times100$

Real GDP = 159.09 × 100

= $15,909.09

Hence, Real GDP = $15,909.09.

Therefore, Real GDP is greater than Nominal GDP hence we can say that the amount of good produced is worth more than $14,000.
