Here we will also eliminate the non cash expense effects by adding them back.

The net cash flows from operating activities can be calculated using the following method:

                                                                 Millions

1. Net Income                                                65

2. Depreciation                                             5.5

3. Loss on sale of Equipment                       1.5

<u>Add / (Less) the increase or </u>

<u>decrease in current Assets or </u>

4. Increase in Trade Receivables                (2.5)

5. Increase in Trade Payables                      3.5

Too much of a good or service is produced when there is a
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.

Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous. An example of a public good is a statue in a public park Everyone has assess to the statue and because one person is enjoying the view of the statue does not means another person cannot enjoy the view of the statue

Your uncle is about to retire, and he wants to buy an annuity that will provide him with $75,000 of income a year for 20 years,
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The annuity will cost him $963,212.95.-

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $75,000

Interest rate= 0.0525

n= 20

First, we need to calculate the final value. We will use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

A= annual cash flow

FV= {75,000*[(1.0525^20) - 1]/0.0525} + {[75,000*(1.0525^20)] - 75,000}

FV= 2,546,491.88 + 133,690.82= $2,680,182.70

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 2,680,182.70/(1.0525^20)

PV= $963,212.95
