Answer:

A. 1.89 years

B. 2.33 years

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

(A) After-tax income = $72,115

Expected cost = $250,000

Useful life = 4 years

Salvage value = $10,000

Depreciation Value = ($250,000 - $10,000) ÷ 4 = $60,000

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $72,115 + $60,000 = $132,115

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $250,000 ÷ $132,115

= 1.89 years

(B) After-tax income = $39,000

Machine cost = $200,000

Useful life = 8 years

Salvage value = $13,000

Depreciation value = ($200,000 - $13,000) ÷ 4 = $46,750

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $39,000 + $46,750 = $85,750

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $200,000 ÷ $85,750

= 2.33 years

Fiscal Policy

Based on the economic data given, and the fact that the government is running a deficit, the equilibrium GDP will be 336.67.

If government spending is cut to balance the budget, the new level of GDP will be 321.67.

The effect of balancing the budget will be a decrease in GDP and a slower recovery from the recesssion.

<h3>What is the equilibrium GDP?</h3>

This is given by the variable "Y" so we can find the equilibrium GDP by solving for it:
C = 50 + .7(Y – T)

Y = C + I + G - XN

C = Y - I - G + XN

Solving gives:

Y - I - G + XN = 50 + .7(Y – T)

Y - 40 - 35 + 10 = 50 + 0.7Y - 14

Y - 0.7Y = 50 + 40 + 35 - 10 - 14

0.3Y = 101

Y = 101/0.3

= 336.67

<h3>What is the new GDP if government spending is cut?</h3>

Government spending will have to be cut to a size that would make it equal to taxes so government spending becomes 20.

New GDP becomes:

= C + I + G - XN

= ( 50 + .7(Y – T)) + 40 + 20 - 10

= 271.67 + 40 + 20 - 10

= 321.67

"The function C(t)=C(1+r)t models the rise in the cost of a product that has a cost of C today, subject to an average yearly inf

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$351,912.61

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

function that models the rise in the cost of a product

$C(t)=C(1+r)^t$

C = $285,700

t = 14 years

r = 1.5% = 0.015

Now,

On substituting the respective values in the given function, we get

inflation-adjusted cost in 14 years i.e C(14) = $285,700(1 + 0.015)¹⁴

C(14) = $285,700 × 1.2317

C(14) = $351,912.61

Answer:

D) All of the above

a. So they won't take research results at face value
b. So they will know how to ask the right questions about the research
c. So they can determine the validity of the results

Explanation:

Marketing research is defined as the process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting information that can be used to develop, implement and monitor a company's marketing plan.

Imagine if a manager received a study, he/she cannot take for granted that the study was well developed, carried out and the results were interpreted correctly. The manager must know how to evaluate if the parameters of a research are correct or if the results are valid or not.
