Answer:

The local government issues a limited number of restaurant licenses every year. (A)

Explanation:

Bertha claims that the burgers sold by Luke's Express Diner are priced a bit too high, because they enjoy monopoly power in the town; hence with the local government issuance of a limited number of restaurant licenses every year, this will break the monopoly that Luke's Express Dinner enjoy, thus weakening Bertha's arguments.

A machine can be purchased for $202,000 and used for five years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes,

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

2.36 years

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.

To derive cash flows from net income, depreciation expenses should be added to net income.

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 / 5 = 0.4

Deprecation expense in year 1 = 0.4 x $202,000 = $80,800

Book value in year 2 = $202,000 - $80,800 = $121,200

Deprecation expense in year 2 = 0.4 x $121,200 = $48,480

Book value in year 3 = $121,200 - $48,480 = $72,720

Deprecation expense in year 3 = 0.4 x $72,720 = $29,088

Book value in year 4 = $72,720 - $29,088 = $43,632

Deprecation expense in year 4 = $43,632 x 0.4 = $17,452.80

Book value in year 5 = $43,632 x 0.4 - $17,452.80 = $26,179.20

Deprecation expense in year 5 = $26,179.20 x 0.4 = $10,471.68

Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000 + $80,800 = $98,800

Cash flow in year 2 = $25,000 + $48,480 = $73,480

Cash flow in year 3 = $53,000 + $29,088 = $82,088

Cash flow in year 4 = $58,000 + $17,452.80 = $75,452.80

Cash flow in year 5 = $108,000 + $10,471.68 = $118,471.68
