Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: c. preventing a market that would generate mutually beneficial trades.

Explanation:

Zooey could argue that the policy of lunch trades is preventing a market that would generate mutually beneficial trades because if people were allowed to trade what they want for what they have with people who have what the first person wants and wants what the first person has, that can be beneficial to both of them.

It is not unlike the system of batter trading that existed before money where people traded what they had for what they wanted.

One should be very careful here though because there are multiple disadvantages involved such as kids exchanging away more nutritious food and food poisoning.

Answer:

Survival of the fittest

Explanation:

Survival of the fittest, term made famous in the fifth edition (published in 1869) of On the Origin of Species by British naturalist Charles Darwin, which suggested that organisms best adjusted to their environment are the most successful in surviving and reproducing. Darwin borrowed the term from English sociologist and philosopher Herbert Spencer, who first used it in his 1864 book Principles of Biology. (Spencer came up with the phrase only after reading Darwin’s work.)

baherus [9]

Answer:

NPV: $180,285.49

IRR: 21.336%

simple rate of return: 72.13%

Explanation:

6,100,000 investment

contribution margin 3,000,000

fixed expense: 900,000

EBITA 2,100,000

We will calculate the NPV without the depreciation, as the depreciation is the distribution of the investment cost over the project life.

If we include the depreciation we will be counting the investment amount twice. Entirely at Time 0 and then subtracting on each cash inflow.

We will calculate the NPV at 20% as is the company's discount rate. Even if the current division returns are in 24% as the company accepts project which yields 20%.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 2,100,000

time 5 years

rate 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

$2100000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.2)^{-5} }{0.2} = PV\\$

PV $6,280,285.49

NPV = PV of cash inflow - investment

6,280,285.49 - 6,100,000 = 180,285.49

the IRR:

The internal rate of return is the rate at which the NPV of a priject is zero.

We calculate this using excel formula IRR

or a financial calculator

it could also be done with trial and error using the PV tables.

I will explain you in Excel

FIrst, you write the inflow and outflow per year:

-6,100,000

2,100,000

then we write on another cell:

=IRR(

then, select the cells

and press enter

21.336%

the simple rate of return:

(total return - investment) / investment

(2,100,000 x 5 - 6,100,000) / 6,100,000 =

4,400,000 / 6,100,000 = 0.721311475 = 72.13%
