That's a 'cartel'. It's illegal in the US. It's also, mean, nasty, and not fair.
Given Information:
The company that you manage has invested $5 million in developing a new product, but the development is not quite finished. At a recent meeting, your salespeople report that the introduction of competing products has reduced the expected sales of your new product to $2 million. If it would cost $1 million to finish development and make the product, should you go ahead and do so? What is the most that you should pay to complete the development?
Answer:
Yes, because the total loss would then be $3 million rather than $5 million. The most you should pay to complete the development would be $2 million.

Answer:
The answer is: $18, 750
Explanation:
The double-declining-balance(DDB) method entails computing depreciation of an asset at an accelerated rate. This method is employed when the asset loses value quickly and is expected to generate more revenue at the earlier stages of its useful life. The depreciation is higher at the beginning and lower close to the end of the asset's useful life. The depreciation is computed as follows:
Depreciation = 2 * straight line depreciation percentage * Book value at the beginning of the period
Machine cost: $75, 000
Residual Value: $5, 000
Estimated Life: 4 years/18, 000 hours
Straight line depreciation percentage : 100/4 = 25%
Depreciation Year 1 on DDB = 2 * 25% * $75, 000
= $37, 500
Depreciation Year 2 on DDB = 2 * 25% * ($75, 000 -$37, 500)
= $18, 750
Answer:
$7,081.25
Explanation:
Face value = 5000
Coupon = 15% paid annually. Semi annual payment = 750/2 = 375
Time to maturity = 18 years
Interest rate = 10% compounded semi-annually
P = 375(P|A, 5%, 36) + 5000(P|F, 5%, 36)
P = 375(16.58131488) + 5000(0.17265193)
P = 6217.99308 + 863.25965
P = 7081.25273
P = $7,081.25
So, the present worth of one bond today is $7,081.25
