Answer:

A) 9458 units

B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.

Explanation:

A) To calculate the uniform annual sales volume based on a present worth analysis, we will make use of the formula for present value of annuity.

Thus;

P = PMT × (1 - ((1/(1 - rⁿ))/r

From the question, we are given;

P = $35,000

PMT = (1200 + 0.4x)

r = 7% = 0.07

n = 10

Thus, Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1200 + 0.4x)((1 - (1/(1 + 0.07)^10))/0.07 = 35000

This gives;

(1200 + 0.4x) × 7.0236 = 35000

(1200 + 0.4x) = 35000/7.0236

(1200 + 0.4x) = 4983.2

0.4x = 4983.2 - 1200

0.4x = 3783.2

x = 3783.2/0.4

x = 9458 units

B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In business accounting, the inventory conversion period / payables deferral period and average collection period use different inputs due to the fact that Inventory and accounts payable are carried at cost on the balance sheet, whereas accounts receivable are recorded at the price at which goods are sold. Therefore the accounts receivable (average collection period) are attached and dependent on the specific/changing price of the goods sold.

g The Ricardian equivalence states that if the government cuts taxes without changing current or future expenditure then: a) hou
Aleks [24]

Answer:

b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future

Explanation:

The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.

On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.

Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.
