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

A simple scoring model is used to decide among three projects that we'll call A, B, and C. The total score for project A is 30,
Flauer [41]

Answer: D) Project A is better than project B for this company at this point in time.

Explanation:

Option D is the best option because we do not know that the basis for the scoring model directly translates to earnings. The scoring of Project A at 30 does not necessarily mean that it's expected to earn those amounts of revenue and therefore triple that of Project C. We do not know because the information is not complete.

What we do know is that A has the highest score out of all projects and this is why it is better to do Project A as opposed to Project B.

7) Suppose the real exchange rate is 10, the domestic price level is 8, and the foreign price level is 4. (a) What is the nomina
konstantin123 [22]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Nominal exchange rate is

= (Real exchange rate) × (foreign price level ÷ domestic price level)

= 10 × (4 ÷ 8)

= 5

2. Change in Nominal exchange rate is

Change in  Nominal exchange rate = (real exchange rate change )  + foreign inflation - domestic inflation

= 10 + 4 - 6

= 8%

3.) foreign inflation rate

= Change in Nominal exchange rate - real exchange rate change + domestic inflation

= 5 - 8 + 3

= 0%

We simply applied the above formulas

Many demographers predict that the United States will have zero populationgrowth in the twenty-first century, in contrast to ave
Fed [463]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

  • The foremost thing is to first consider steady states. The Sluggish population growth rate swings in the line representing population growth and depreciation to the downward trend.
  • The new stable rate has a superior level of capital per worker thereby having a higher level of output per worker.
  • In Steady state, the entire output develops at rate n, whereas the output rate per worker grows at figure 0. Hence, slower population growth will hamper the figure of total output growth, but the rate of per-worker output growth will be the same.
  • Now reflect on the transition. We know that the constant-state level of output per worker is higher with little population growth. Hence, for the period of the transition to the new steady state, output per worker should grow at a rate faster than 0 for a sometime.
