Answer: Overhauling is a better option as it is cheaper by $1,273

Explanation:

Total cost of the new truck:

= Cost to purchase + Present value of operating costs - Present value of residual value

= 14,000 + (200 * present value of annuity factor, 4%, 6 years) - 2,000 / (1 + 4%)⁶

= 14,000 + (200 * 5.2421) - 1,581

= $13,467

Total cost of Overhauling truck:

= 8,000 + (800 * present value of annuity factor, 4%, 6 years)

= 8,000 + (800 * 5.2421)

= $12,194

Overhauling is a better option as it is cheaper by:

= 13,467 - 12,194

= $1,273

Which of the following is an example of corruption?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

C) Paying a bribe to a company executive in order to be awarded a contract.

Explanation:

Not only politicians or public officials are corrupt, in order for corruption to exist, there must be some private party willing to give a public servant something in exchange for an illegal favor.

During the past few years a huge corruption scandal was uncovered in Brazil, called the lavajato (car wash in English). The most important result was not only the billions of dollars recovered from public servants and politicians, but the fact that the owners and upper management of virtually all the largest Brazilian corporations were sent to jail as accomplices. It is not common that the richest people in a country are sent to jail.

Genetech corp. has invested heavily to develop a patented new product. Genentech wants to achieve a rapid return on its investment. it probably should set a profit maximization.

Profit maximization in economics refers to the short- or long-term process through which a corporation chooses the price, input, and output levels that result in the largest profit. The firm is typically modelled as maximizing profit in neoclassical economics, which is currently the dominant approach to microeconomics.

Economic and social well-being are indirectly influenced by the profit maximization idea. A company uses and allocates resources effectively when it is profitable, and this results in payments for capital, fixed assets, labour, and organization. Economic and social welfare is achieved in this way.
