Answer and Explanation:

An investment when it would be risk free in that case both the principal and the interest amount are to be paid within the prescribed time. Also when the U.S government bonds i.e. long term would be issued by the government have a lesser interest rate as compared with the other riskier securities available at the market place this is because as the government would default next to zero in case of the short term it would make the default when there are extreme situations arise.

Therefore in the short term it would be risk free

But in the long run, the person is based on the treasury bills returns so that he or she could equate the similar standard of living also it would not suffice when the inflation rises

Therefore the less risky investment would be of Government bonds

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Net cash flow for The Rogers Corporation: $435,200

Net cash flow for The Evans Corporation: $332,400

Explanation:

For The Rogers Corporation:

Income before tax =  $746,000 - $305,000 - $224,000 = $217,000

Tax = $217,000 x 40% = $86,800

Net income afer tax = $217,000 - $86,800 = $130,200

Net cash flow = Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense - Tax = $746,000 - $224,000 - $86,800 = $435,200

For The Evans Corporation

Income before tax =  $746,000 - $48,000 - $224,000 = $474,000

Tax = $474,000 x 40% = $189,600

Net income afer tax = $474,000 - $189,600 = $284,400

Net cash flow = $746,000 - $224,000 - $189,600 = $332,400
