BSU Inc. wants to purchase a new machine for $40,070, excluding $1,200 of installation costs. The old machine was bought five ye

ars ago and had an expected economic life of 10 years without salvage value. This old machine now has a book value of $2,000, and BSU Inc. expects to sell it for that amount.

Answer:

4.62  years

8.02%

Explanation:

The payback period is the number of years it would take the investment to recoup itself.

Payback=initial capital outlay/annual cash flow

initial capital outlay is the cost of the new  machine plus installation cost minus the salvage value of the old machine.

initial capital outlay=$40,070+$1,200-$2,000=$ 39,270.00

Annual cash flow is the reduction in operating costs of $8,500 per year

payback =$ 39,270.00/$8,500.00=4.62  years

The internal rate of return is computed in the attached

Casassa, a merchant in San Francisco, under the terms of a nonshipment contract, agrees to sell 50 cases of packaged macaroni to
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Fresno

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

The uniform commercial code (UCC) is a set of standardized business laws which are put in place for the regulation of financial contracts and commercial transactions used across different states in the United States of America. There are special rules known as the special business standards that are set up by UCC governing merchants and the sales of goods in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a shipment contract between two parties (buyer and seller) states that a buyer bears the risk of loss and is typically responsible for the costs of goods in the event of any damage or loss incurred during transportation and prior to receiving the goods.

In this scenario, the transaction is a nonshipment contract and the place for delivery is not specified in the agreement.

However, on the basis of the facts that both parties are aware that the 50 cases of packaged macaroni are in a warehouse in Fresno, the place for delivery is Fresno.

3. (1 point) Suppose a firm faces potential demand from two customer bases, H and L, with high and low valuation of the firm’s p
MariettaO [177]

Answer: A. increases with the number of H consumers.

Explanation: If all type H customers are currently purchasing the product, it means that its customer base is large and significant enough and as such the firm would prefer to sell all of its product to H, and also do to the fact that there is only so much supply that a firm can provide. But, fewer quantities of goods would remain for L if more and more goods are sold to H. Due to this lower quantity supplied to the L customer base, it then means that the firm can set the price higher for L. This is because at a higher price, quantity demanded reduces (which is expected for L) and it can therefore maintain supply to H which has more customers.

See the attached photo for the graph for the loanable funds market

Explanation:

Note: See the attached photo for the graph for the loanable funds market to represent this scenario.

In the attached photo, the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds is on the horizontal axis, while the interest rate is on the vertical axis.

The graph shows that there is a positive relationship between the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds and the interest rate. That is, as the interest rate rises, the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds also rises.
