Answer: $250,096

Explanation:

To find out the amount that should be invested today, one should find the present values of both figures and add them up:

Interest rate should be periodically adjusted so: 8% / 2 = 4% per semi annum

No of periods should be adjusted as well.

Amount to be invested today:

= \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{2 * 2 periods} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4 * 2 periods} }\\\\=  \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{8} }\\\\= 250,095.62

= $250,096

Suppose you are evaluating two mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A costs $350 and has cash flows of $250 and $250 in
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The answer is 30%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Project A

Project A costs = $350

Cash flows =$250 and $250 (next 2 years)

Project B

Project B costs =$300

Cash flow = $300 and  $100

Now what is the crossover rate for these projects.

Thus

Year Project A    Project B A-B        B-A

0            -350     -300        -50        50

1             250      300        -50        50

2             250      100         150       -150

IRR         27%      26%         30%      30%

So,

CF = CF1/(1+r)^1 + CF2/(1+r)^2

$-50 = $-50/(1+r)^1 + $150/(1+r)^2

r = 30%

CF = CF1/(1+r)^1 + CF2/(1+r)^2

$50 = $50/(1+r)^1 + $-150/(1+r)^2

r = 30%

Hence, the cross over rate for these project is 30%

Note:

IRR =Internal rate of return

CF =Cash flow

r = rate

Hey there,

Your question states: <span>Which of the following best explains why zoos are not affected by the threat of new entrants?

Based on the option's above, I feel like the answer would be (</span><span>Starting a zoo has a high entry cost.) Because by doing this, this could make to (zoo) in better quality. So when things go down like (a cage) for example, they could easily pay it back with all the extra money they have.

Hope this helps.

According to anthropological ethics, the first responsibility of the anthropologist is to the people studied.
Len [333]

<span>The answer is true. The anthropologists have main ethical obligations to the people, species, and materials they research and to the people with whom they work. These duties can exchange the goal of seeking new knowledge, and can lead to decisions not to start or to stop a research project when the primary obligation conflicts with other responsibilities, such as those unsettled to sponsors or clients.</span>

What is the source of energy during the energy investment phase of glycolysis?
Leno4ka [110]

The source of energy during the energy investment phase of Glycosis are two ATP molecules.

Explanation:

During the energy investment phase of glycolysis , the energy source comes from two ATP molecules which then results in the formation of the two molecules of glyceraldehyde phosphate.

The two molecules of glyceraldehyde phosphate are then used for the second process of glycosis in which energy  is emanated and not invested.

Glycosis is the process that is characterized by the breakdown of enzymes into smaller molecules and constituent elements.

Dorcan Corporation manufactures and sells T-shirts imprinted with college names and slogans. Last year, the shirts sold for $7.6
storchak [24]

Answer:

b. 18,602 units.

Explanation:

First, we need to use last year's information to determine last year's fixed costs.

Price (P1) = $7.68

Variable costs (VC1) = $2.25

Units sold to break-even (n1) = 21,800

At the break-even point, net income is zero and the fixed cost can be found by:

N=0 = n_1*(P_1-VC_1) -FC_1\\0=21,800*(\$7.68-\$2.25) - FC_1\\FC = \$118,374

With information from last, information for the current year can be determined:

Price (P2) = $10.00

Variable costs (VC2) = $2.25 x 1.3333 = $3.00

Fixed cost (FC2) = $118,374 x 1.10 = $130,211.4

The number of units required to break even is:

N=0 = n_2*(P_2-VC_2) -FC_2\\0=n_2*(\$10-\$3) - \$130,211.4\\n_2 = 18,601.63\ units

Rounding up to the nearest whole unit, Dorcan Corporation must sell 18,602 units to break-even.
