Answer: c. Ten years, because maintenance costs don't increase.

Explanation:

With the maintenance costs constant at $24,000 a year, the machine is still expected to go 10 years before it's x-ray source is depleted and it has to be scrapped.

This means that the useful life is therefore 10 years because the maintenance cost will not increase but will still keep the machine going for 10 years.

India specializes in business process outsourcing and does this more efficiently than any other country. It buys agricultural co
uysha [10]

Answer:

Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.

When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.

However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.

What are five things you can do to overcome stereotypes?
svlad2 [7]

Explanation:

First of all we need to know what stereotype actually is. So stereotype is basically the over generalized belief of someone about something or someone else based on some assumptions. The simplest example of stereotype can be seen as, 'A woman is always caring'. This is a stereotype about a particular group of human beings. So there are a lot of other stereotypes too which prevails in our societies. Now we have to overcome such stereotypes by doing the following things:

  • Admit and Say that the stereotypes are wrong
  • Find famous people to give examples of, who think stereotypes are wrong
  • Debate about the wrong associated with stereotypes by giving them sufficient evidence and examples
  • Do what you feel like doing about breaking the stereotypes
  • Provide data to people with examples about people who are not that stereotype.

The Jackson-Timberlake Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $2.15 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a)  

$34.4

b)

$37.20

c) $59.57

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend paid = $2.15

Growth rate = 4% = 0.04

Required return = 10.5% = 0.105

Now,

a) Present value = \frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}

for the current price n = 1

thus,

Current price = \frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1+growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}

=  \frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^1}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}

=  $34.4

b) Price in 3 years

i.e n = 3

= \frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}

=  \frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^3}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}

=

$37.20

c) Price in 15 years

i.e n = 15

= \frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}

=  \frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^{15}}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}

=  $59.57
