Answer:
a. $(745)
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
As we know that
Net present value = Present value of Cash inflow - Present value of Cash outflow
= ($35,000 × 5.995+ $20,500 × 0.46) - $220,000
= -$745
We simply deduct the cash outflow present value from the cash inflow present value so that the net present value could come
hence, the option a is correct
In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis.
Recall the components that makeup GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C= consumption, I= investment, G =government purchases, X=exports, M =imports, and NX= net exports.
Y= _____
Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for _____. Therefore, national saving (S) equals:
S=_____
Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields, Y= _____ Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following relationship:
S=_____
Answer:
Y = C + I + G + NX
S = Y - C
S = I + G + NX
Explanation:
National Income Y = C + I + G + NX ; {where consumption, investment, government purchases, net exports ie exports - imports are corresponding expenditure of households, firms, government, rest of the world}
National Saving (S) is income (Y) left after paying for consumption (C) . So, S = Y - C
Using above equations, Y = C + S , Y = C + I + G + NX
C + S = C + I + G + NX
So, S = I + G + NX

Ford Motor Company is considering launching a new line of hybrid diesel-electric SUVs. The heavy advertising expenses associated with the new SUV launch would generate operating losses of million next year. Without the new SUV, Ford expects to earn pre-tax income of $80 million from operations next year. Ford pays a 35% tax rate on its pre-tax income. The amount that Ford Motor Company owes in taxes next year without the launch of the new SUV is closest to ________ million.
Answer:
$28 million
Explanation:
Without the new SUV, Ford expects to earn pre-tax income of $80 million next year. Now as the SUV is not launched, we would not account for operating losses of $35 million next year. So, the Ford pays taxes on pre-tax income of $80 million next year without the new SUV launch.
The amount that Ford Motor Company owes in taxes next year:
= Tax rate * Pre-tax income
= 35% * $80 million
= $28 million
So, the amount that Ford Motor Company owes in taxes next year without the launch of the new SUV is $28 million

Suppose that in your first year of college you spend $31,300.00 more than you eam. In your second year, your expenses increase a bit, leading you to spend $31.900.00 more than you earn. This gap goes to $32.150.00 in your third year of college, then falls a bit to $32,150.00 in your fourth and final year ist attempt What is your deficit in your third year of college? s s How much debt do you have that year? S
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information provided in the question, the deficit in the 3rd year of college will be: = $32,150
The total debt that one owes in the 3rf year will then be the addition of the debts from the 1st to the 3rd year and this will be:
= $31,300 + $31,900 + $32,150
= $63,232
Answer:
1. $32,150
2. $95,350
Explanation:
The deficit in the third year is given in the introduction: $32,150
The deficit measures how expenditures in a given year match up with earnings, whereas the debt is the total accumulation of deficits.
The debt after your third year is the sum of the deficits from your first three years: $31,300 + $31,900 + $32,150 = $95,350

Maestro Inc has a $1,000, 6% coupon bond with interest payable semiannually and a remaining term of 20 years. The market yield on similar bonds is 10%. What percentage of face value is the bond selling for today
Answer:
65.682%
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage is shown below;
But before that first determine the present value i.e.
Given that
Future value = $1,000
PMT = $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2 = $30
RTAE = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
NPER = 20 × 2= 40
the formula is shown below;
= -PV(RATE,NPER,PMT,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $656.82
Now the percentage is
= $656.82 ÷ $1,000
= 65.682%
A 10-year, 10.00%, $5,000 bond that pays dividends quarterly can be purchased for $4,610.
This means that $4,610 is spent on the bond now. Every quarter, $125.00 is provided to the purchaser as the dividend. After 10 years, $5,000 is given to the purchaser.
If the bond is purchased and pays as scheduled, which of the following ranges of effective rate of return will the purchaser receive?
a. 11.00% - 12.00%
b. 10.00% - 10.50%
c. 12.01% - 14.01%
d. 10.50% - 10.75%
Answer: a. 11.00% - 12.00%
Explanation:
We can find the rate using Excel.
Payments are quarterly so we need to adjust the variables to quarterly figures:
Period = 10 years * 4 = 40 quarters
Present value = $4,610 (should be a negative number)
Future value = $5,000 at maturity
The effective rate will be 2.9% as shown in the attachment.
This is a quarterly figure so convert it to annual:
= 2.9 * 4
= 11.6%
It is between 11% and 12%

In 2019, Henry Jones (Social Security number 123-45-6789) works as a freelance driver, finding customers using various platforms like Uber and Grubhub. He is single and has no other sources of income. In 2019, Henry's qualified business income from driving is $61,200. Assume Henry takes the standard deduction of $12,200. Click here to access the 2019 individual tax rate schedule to use for this problem. Assume the QBI amount is net of the self-employment tax deduction.
Required:
a. Compute Henrys QBI deduction and his tax liability for 2019.
b. Complete Henry's 2019 Form 8995 (Qualified Business Income Deduction Simplified Computation).
Answer:
a. QBI Deduction = $9,800
Tax liability = $4,510
Explanation:
a. The BI deduction in 2019 was 20% of the qualified business income in excess of the standard deduction:
QBI deduction = (61,200 - 12,200) * 20%
= $9,800
We then use this to find the taxable income:
= Qualified business income - standard deduction - QBI deduction
= 61,200 - 12,200 - 9,800
= $39,200
Tax liability for a single person in 2019 as shown by the attached file is:
= 970 + 12% * (39,200 - 9,700)
= 970 + 3,540
= $4,510
b. Form not attached but the main item should be the taxable income which is calculated above.

Describe the life cycle of a product and explain profitability and sales volume at each stage
Answer:
Product Life Cycle: Overview
The product life cycle (PLC) describes a product's life in the market with respect to business/commercial costs and sales measures. It proceeds through multiple phases, involves many professional disciplines and requires many skills, tools and processes.
This is not to say that product lives cannot be extended – there are many good examples of this – but rather, each product has a ‘natural’ life through which it is expected to pass.
The stages of the product life cycle are:
Introduction
Growth
Maturity
Decline
PLC management makes these three assumptions:
Products have a limited life and, thus, every product has a life cycle.
Product sales pass through distinct stages, each of which poses different challenges, problems and opportunities to its parent company.
Products will have different marketing, financing, manufacturing, purchasing and human resource requirements at the various stages of its life cycle.
The product life cycle begins with the introduction stage (see ). Just because a product successfully completes the launch stage and starts its life cycle, the company cannot take its success for granted.
image
Product Development and Product Life Cycle: The Product Life Cycle follows directly after new product development.
A company must succeed at both developing new products and managing them in the face of changing tastes, technologies and competition. A good product manager should find new products to replace those that are in the declining stage of their life cycles; learning how to manage products optimally as they move from one stage to the next.
Product Lifecycle Management Stage 1: Market Introduction
This stage is characterized by a low growth rate of sales as the product is newly launched and consumers may not know much about it. Traditionally, a company usually incurs losses rather than profits during this phase. Especially if the product is new on the market, users may not be aware of its true potential, necessitating widespread information and advertising campaigns through various media.
However, this stage also offers its share of opportunities. For example, there may be less competition. In some instances, a monopoly may be created if the product proves very effective and is in great demand.
Characteristics of the introduction stage are:
High costs due to initial marketing, advertising, distribution and so on.
Sales volumes are low, increasing slowly
There may be little to no competition
Demand must be created through promotion and awareness campaigns
Customers must be prompted to try the product.
Little or no profit is made owing to high costs and low sales volumes
Growth
During the growth stage, the public becomes more aware of the product; as sales and revenues start to increase, profits begin to accrue.
Explanation:
why do conduction band electrons posses very high energy's.h
Just because of band gap. The forbidden energy gap keeps the conduction band at high energy by an amount to equal to band gap energy from the valence band edge. If you compare energies of electrons present in conduction band and valence band, they significantly differ by an amount equal to band gap energy. The low energy electron presents in a valence band requires an energy equal to band gap energy to excite to conduction band. Consequently, the electrons present in conduction band possess high energy compared to electrons present in valence band. At absolute zero K, the low energy states present in valence band are usually completely occupied where as the high energy states present in the conduction band are unoccupied.
1. A location’s risks can make a difference in premium costs. Think about two houses, one built on a mesa (a high desert plateau) in Arizona and the other built on the Louisiana coast (below sea level). Which location is more likely to experience flooding? Which house would have lower premiums for flood insurance?
Answer:
House with lower premiums for flood insurance -- house built on Mesa in Arizona.
Location more likely to experience flooding --- Louisiana coast which is below sea level.
Explanation:
Insurances provides a protection in exchange for a amount of fee known as a premium. An insurance is a policy or an agreement where the person availing the policy gets a financial protection against the calamities or losses that occurs to the person as promised by the other party. But for that the person needs to a pay a fee called as the premium to the other party.
In the context, the house which is built on the mesa, which is a high desert plateau in Arizona is less prone to floods. Since the location of the house is in a high altitude place, it is less likely to experience floods as compared to the other place in Louisiana coast which is below sea level and is more likely to experience flooding because of its location near the coast and elevation.
Therefore, the house located in Arizona will have to pay lower premiums for flood as there will be less likely to occur flood in the region of the high elevation of the place.
And since house built on Louisiana coast is below sea level, it will more likely to experience floods.

A business owner decides to give all her employees a living wage and benefits, including any new employees.
Which social responsibility stance did the business owner demonstrate?
Answer:
Proactive stance.
Explanation:

has a standard of 2 direct labor hours per unit. The standard wage rate of each worker is $32.50 per hour. In July, the company produced 4,770 units and paid workers $190,000 for a total of 8,940 direct labor hours. Compute the direct labor efficiency variance.
Answer:
$130 Favourable
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Standard hours = 2 × 4770 = 9,540
Actual hours = 8,940
Standard rate = $32.50
Then, Direct labor efficiency variance is computed as
= ( Standard hours allowed for production - Actual hours taken) × Standard rate per direct labor hour
= [(2 × 4,770) - 8,940] × $32.50
= [9,540 - 8,940] × $32.50
= 600 × $32.50
= $130 Favourable

= $87,000
Share of Dividends
= 87,000 / 290,000 * 87,000
= $26,100
Amount to report:
= 2,958,000 + 87,000 - 26,100
= $3,018,900
