Answer:
$11.59 million
Explanation:
The computation of earning before interest and tax is shown below:-
Free cash flow = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating cash flow
$8.17 million = Operating cash flow - $2.17 million
Operating cash flow = $10.34 million
For calculating the earning before interest
Operating cash flow = Earning before interest - Taxes + Depreciation
$10.34 million = Earning before interest - $2.17 million + $0.92 million
= $10.34 million = Earning before interest - $1.25 million
Earning before interest = $11.59 million
Typical demographics data include gender, income and geographic region.
Answer:
B) Good economists must possess a rare combination of gifts.
Explanation:
Economics is a social science that focuses on studying scarcity. Since all resources are scarce, economics tries to determine how to allocate resources more efficiently in order to produce the most possible benefits. We are all economists whether we like it or not. When we spend our money (scarce resource) we try to get the largest benefit out of it, the same applies to our time. We decide to study for a test and get a good grade, or simply take a very long nap.
The problem with economics and all social science, is that they are not exact. There is no possible way a scientific research can be done that includes all the economy, there are simply too many billions of transactions and different combinations that it is impossible to do it. Some microeconomics studies can be carried out but only considering a single company or industry and few factors.
Economists must base their research upon past events and develop models that can predict future events. Sadly but true, even meteorologists have a higher percentage of correct predictions than economists.
The few good economists must be very good at math, history, politics, philosophy, psychology, developing abstract ideas and make them concrete ideas, and last but not least must be able to explain all of this to others and convince them.
The problem with applying economic models to the real world are the changing expectations of the general public (psychology and philosophy). One of my teachers had a great saying, "the mouth is the most sensitive organ in your body, but your pocket is by far the most sensitive part".
<span>You are given an initial investment of $300 at 4% interest compounded monthly after 8 years. The solution to this question is shown below.
</span>A(t) = P(1+r/n)^nt
A(8) = 300(1+0.04/12)^12(8)
A(8) = 300(1+0.04/12)^96
A(8) = 300(1.033)^96
A(8) = $412.91
