Answer:

Thus, payback period is = 3 years and 1.61 months

Explanation:

Payback period is the time it will take the project cash flows to recover the initial investment. The payback period for the project in question will be,

<u>Year</u>       <u>Cash flow</u>      <u>Remaining Amount</u>

1               850               (6900 - 850) = 6050

2              2400             (6050 - 2400) = 3650

3              3100              (3650 - 3100) = 550

As the year 4 cash flow is 4100, we know that the amount will be recovered in year 4. However, we will calculate the exact period or months in year 4 that it will take to recover total initial investment assuming that cashflow occurs at constant rate through out the year.

Time = 550 / 4100 * 12 = 1.61 months

Thus, payback period is = 3 years and 1.61 months

Cash flow in year 0 = $-190,000

Cash flow each year from 1 to 3 = $75,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $75,000 + $25,000 = $100,000

I = 15%

NPV = $38,417.21

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

A library shelving system has a fi rst cost of $20,000 and a useful life of 10 years. The annual maintenance is expected to be $
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The benefit cost ratio is 1.564

Explanation:

The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the present value of benefits to the present value of costs. It is thus calculated as follows.

Benefit-cost ratio = Present value of benefits / Present value of costs

Present value of costs = $20,000 + $2,500 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)

                                     = $20,000 + $15,361

                                     = $35,361

Present value of benefits = $9,000 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)

                                          = $9,000 x 6.145

                                          = $55,305

Benefit-cost ratio = $55,305 / $35,361

                             = 1.564

KIM [24]
<h2>Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs.</h2>

Explanation:

Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs. In terms of political differences, some countries have parliamentary governments while some countries like the US have presidential governments.

Regardless of how each country operate politically, most of the operational system of these countries are embedded in democracy and the general welfare of its citizens. The differences occur because of these operational systems of each country. They could differ in policies, reforms or laws which are based on the interests of its people and the nation.

In economic terms, the differences occur when governments prioritize what economic policies or model they choose to implement. Economic systems of a country change according to the need of the times. For instance,  China initially, after its independence, chose to remain a closed economy until it reformed its policies in 1978 to finally open up the country.

Legal systems of countries differ from one another as every country use a civil law system based on its cultural, social, political and historical circumstances. For instance, in US each state has the power to establish its own legal procedures while in some country, every state must follow a uniform civil code.

As we know the political economy refers to both the political and economic systems of a country, management practice of national differences is important to taken into account before securing economic relations with another country. Management practice of national differences helps in finding favorable economic and political systems around the world for a country to make both economic and political partnership with.
