1. Interest expense $214,650

       To Cash $214,650

Should Tangshan Mining company accept a new project if its maximum payback is 3.5 years and its initial after tax cost is​ $5,00
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Yes, Tangshan Mining company should accept the project.

Explanation:

Payback period is the number of years it takes for a project's expected cash inflows to recover the initial investment amount.

Tangshan company's required payback period = 3.5 years

<u>Year             CF                       Net CF</u>

0             -5,000,000        -5,000,000

1               1,800,000          -3,200,000

2              1,900,000          -1,300,000

3                700,000           -600,000

4               1,800,000            1,200,000

<em>Payback period = last year with -net CF +(absolute net CF that year /total CF the following year)</em>

Payback period = 3 + (600,000 / 1,800,000)

=3 + 0.33

= 3.33 years

Since 3.33 years is lower than the required payback period of 3.5 years, Tangshan Mining company should ACCEPT the new project; it will take less years to fully recover the initial amount investment.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

d. fewer study guides being sold

Explanation:

If there is an increase in the price of textbooks, it is fair to assume that demand for textbooks will fall and, thus, textbooks sales will also fall. When goods are complements, a decrease in demand for a certain good means that its complements will also experience a similar decrease in demand. Since textbooks and study guides are complements, the sales of study guides will also fall.

Therefore, the answer is d. fewer study guides being sold
