Answer:

Project A is more valuable than Project B given a positive discount rate.

Explanation:

Let us assume the Discount Rate be r and cash flow for year n be CFn

Also

Let us assume initial Investment be X

So,  

NPV = ΣCFn ÷ (1+r)^n

NPVA = - X + 6500 ÷ (1 + r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 2500 ÷ (1+r)^3

NPVB = - X + 2500 ÷ (1+r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 6500 ÷ (1+r)^3  

NPVA - NPVB = - X + 6500 ÷ (1+r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 2500 ÷ (1+r)^3 - (- X + 2500 ÷ (1+r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 6500 ÷ (1+r)^3)

= 4000 ÷ (1+r) - 4000 ÷ (1+r)^3 = 4000(1 ÷ (1+r) - 1 ÷ (1+r)^3)

In the case when

Ir > 0, 1 ÷ (1+r) > 1 ÷ (1+r)^3

So,  

NPVA - NPVB > 0 => NPVA > NPVB

Suppose during a year an economy produces $10 trillion of consumer goods, $4 trillion of investment goods, $6 trillion in govern
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is $19 trillion

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market or monetary value of all the goods and services produced by a country within its borders over a given period of time. It is used as a measure of a country's economic health, due to its broad coverage.

The formula for calculating GDP is: GD P  =  C  +  I  +  G  +  ( X  −  M )

where :

C = private consumption (consumer goods)

I = gross investments (investment goods)

G = government investments or government spending (govt. services)

X = export

M = import

Therefore:

GDP (in trillion) = 10 + 4 + 6 + (4 - 6) = 10 + 10 - 1 = $19 trillion dollars.

Please note that there is the nominal GDP and real GDP.

Nominal GDP is the total value of all the final goods and services a country produces within a year, while real GDP is the value of the goods and services produced within a year, putting inflation effects into account.

Given

Physical Inventory Account= $63,000

Is it possible for a company to initiate two products that target the same market that are not mutually exclusive?
Nutka1998 [239]
It is possible but there should be some type of criteria that needs to be met. For example, the market should have room for both products and the other important thing to have in mind is that the company must have sufficient resources in order to produce both products simultaneously.

Global Commerce Corporation purchased trading debt investments for $136,000 on December​ 31, 2018. There is a decrease of $3,400
stellarik [79]

Answer:

A. Unrealized Holding  Loss - Trading 3,400

Fair Value  Adjustment - Trading 3,400

Explanation:

Since this investment is classified as a trading investment, any change in its fair market value must be included in their income statement. The appropriate journal entry should be:

Dr Unrealized loss on trading security 3,400

     Cr Debt investments 3,400

This will decrease the carrying value of the debt investments in the balance sheet and the loss will be included in the 2019 income statement. The fair value adjustment account normally has a credit balance since it decreases the carrying value of the investment account.
