Answer:

Option e is the correct answer.

As the NPV of project 1 is higher than Project 2's NPV, Project 1 is recommended,

Explanation:

To determine which project to choose, we will calculate the net present value (NPV) of both projects and the project with the higher NPV will be chosen.

NPV is the present value of the future cash flows inflows expected from the project less any initial cost. The formula for NPV is as follows,

NPV = CF1 / (1+WACC) + CF2 / (1+WACC)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+WACC)^n - Initial outlay

Where,

CF1, CF2,... is the cash flow in year 1, Year 2 and so on

NPV - Project 1 = 60 / (1+0.1) + 60 / (1+0.1)^2 + 60 / (1+0.1)^3 +

220 / (1+0.1)^4 + 220 / (1+0.1)^5 - 200

NPV - Project 1 = $236.076 rounded off to $236.08

NPV - Project 22 = 300 / (1+0.1) + 300 / (1+0.1)^2 + 100 / (1+0.1)^3 +

100 / (1+0.1)^4 + 100 / (1+0.1)^5 - 600

NPV - Project 2 = $126.1861 rounded off to $126.19

As the NPV of project 1 is higher than Project 2's NPV, Project 1 is recommended,

Mitch is a director and officer of Numero Uno, Inc. Mitch makes a marketing decision that results in a dramatic decrease in prof

Stells [14]

Answer:

As long as Mitch acted in good faith and tried to make the best possible decision regarding all available information, and his decision was something that any other person could have made, his mistake has to be considered a bad or negative business judgement (business judgement rule). He thought that his actions would benefit the corporation, but he was wrong and the corporation lost money. That types of mistakes are considered normal and just that, mistakes that anyone can make.

In regards with the second issue, that Mitch is a shareholder and a director of a firm that will directly compete with Numero Uno, he must inform the board about this and resign to either Numero Uno or One of a Kind.

Pastoria Enterprises has scheduled raw material purchases of $100,000 in January, $130,000 in February, and $150,000 in March. T

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate how much will be disbursed by the company in February.

Firstly , we know that the company disburses 75% in the month of purchase and 25% during the month after purchase.

Now, 75% of $130,000 would be disbursed as February’s own payment:

Mathematically 75/100 * 130,000 = 97,500

Also, we should not forget that the company disburses 25% of previous month during the current. That is 25/100 * 100,000 = 25,000

Total amount disbursed is thus 25,000 + 97,500 = $122,500

A machine costs $1,000 and has a 3-year life. the estimated salvage value at the end of three years is $100. the project is expe

AnnyKZ [126]

Cost of machine = $1,000

$NPV of revenues = p( \frac{1- (1+RoR)^{-n} }{RoR} )$ = $600( \frac{1- (1+0.1)^{-3} }{0.1} )$ = $1,492.11

$NPV of salvage value = FV ( \frac{1}{ (1+RoR)^{n} }$ )= $100( \frac{1}{ (1+0.1)^{3} } )$ = $75.13

Total NPV = -1000+1492.11+75.13 = $567.24 ≈ $567

MArishka [77]

Answer:

XYZ Publishing Company is the owner of the cover design.

Explanation:

When a business or even an individual hires someone to work for a specific job, the outcome of that job belongs to the employer.

For example, if I hire a carpenter and ask him to manufacture a specific type of chair that I like. Even f the carpenter contributed to the design of the chair, the chair and its design belong to me since I paid for it. Even if for some reason a lot of people like my chars and they ask the carpenter to manufacture more chairs, he would need my authorization to do it.

In a perfectly competitive market, all of the following statements are true except: A. Marginal revenue is the same as price.

Rashid [163]

Answer: Marginal revenue is equal to price times quantity

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is a market where there's a large number of both the producers and the consumers have full and symmetric information.

In a perfectly competitive market, the marginal revenue is the same as price and the marginal revenue curve is the same as the demand curve facing sellers.

It should be noted that the statement that the marginal revenue is equal to price times quantity is incorrect. The total revenue is equal to price times quantity.
