Answer:

1. The payback period is:

= 3 years

2. The benefit-cost ratio is:

= 1.1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                   Leasing Computer    Buying Computer &

                                        with Software       Leasing Software

Annual lease payment     $5,000                      $3,500

Cost of computer                                                $7,500

Salvage value of computer                                   $500

Usage period                       8 years                   8 years

Interest rate                         5%                           5%

Present value annuity factor 6.463                    6.463

Present value factor for salvage                        0.677

Present value of annuity    $32,315                $29,782 ($22,621 + $7,500 - 339)

$22,782 = ($3,500 * 6.463 + $7,500 - ($500 * 0.677))

Benefit-cost ratio = $32,315/$29,782 = 1.1

Answer:

a. as a valuation account to Inventory on the balance sheet

Explanation:

The inventory write-down could be done through the balance sheet or the income statement, it depends of the total amount of the adjustment.

If it's a small adjustment, the company make a credit adjustment to the inventory accounts and a  debit to the cost of goods sale in the income statement.

But if the adjustment is larger it's necessary to reduce the value of the inventories through the balance sheet with a debit in an account such as “write-down damaged goods.”

Most economists believe that in the long run, changes in the money supply Group of answer choices affect nominal but not real va
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

affect nominal but not real variables. This view that money is ultimately neutral is consistent with classical theory.

Explanation:

This idea is held by classical economists (not by most economists) since they believe in the quantitative theory of money:

MV = PQ

  • M = quantity of money
  • V = velocity of money
  • P = price level
  • Q = quantity of goods

Classical theory was abandoned 90 years ago (according to classical theory, recessions were not possible and couldn't exist, but then the Great Depression came and the impossible became true). Neo-classical or monetarists appeared in the 1960s, and lately, neo-neo-classical appeared with George W. Bush. The problem with the quantitative theory is that it needs the following things to be true in order to hold, and empirical evidence over the last 90 years showed that none of them are true:

  1. the velocity of money has to be constant (AND IT IS NOT CONSTANT)
  2. real output is independent on money supply (NOT TRUE)
  3. causation goes from money to prices (MODERN ECONOMISTS BELIEVE IT IS THE OTHER WAY)
