Several years ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that the winner of the Massachusetts State Lottery prize had the misfortune

to be both bankrupt and in prison for fraud. The balance of the prize was $9,420,713, to be paid in 19 equal annual installments (There were 20 installments, but the winner had already received the first payment). The bankruptcy court judge ruled that the prize should be sold off to the highest bidder and the proceeds to be paid to the creditors. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize

Answer:

the present value of the annuity = $4,523,638

Explanation:

this is an ordinary annuity:

annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65

number of periods = 19 periods

interest rate = 8%

therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036

the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638

Arada [10]

Answer:

a. increasing opportunity costs as more and more of one good is produced

Explanation:

A production possibility frontier is a curve that shows the two combinations of goods an economy can produce given that its resocurces are fully employed.

The production possibility curves is bowed outwards because of increasing opportunity costs as more and more of one good is produced.

If more of one good is to be produced, more of the second good would be given up to increase the production of the first good.

The attached image is the graph of a production possibility frontier. At point A, the maximum amount of good X is produced with zero quantity of good Y. To increase production of good Y and move to point B, some quantities of good X would be given up. To further increase the production of good Y and move to point C, even more quantities of good X would be given up.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The average collection period is 17.78 days.

Explanation:

In this question, we have to first compute the average receivable turnover ratio.  

The formula of the average receivable turnover ratio is shown below:

= Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

where,

Net credit sales are $811,000

And, the average accounts receivable equals to

= Beginning account receivable + ending accounts receivable ÷ 2

= $41,000 + $38,000 ÷ 2

= $39,500

So, the average receivable turnover ratio equals to

= $811,000 ÷ $39,500

= 20.53

Now, we calculate the average collection period, the formula is shown below

= Total Number of days in a year ÷ average receivable turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 20.53

= 17.78 days.

Hence, the average collection period is 17.78 days.
