Answer:

1428.57

Explanation:

A perpetuity assumes a constant cash flow streams over an infinite period. The Present Value or the value of a perpetuity can be calculated if the periodic/annual payment that a perpetuity pays and the interest rate or required rate of return is known.

In this question the present value that an investor, requiring 14% return, will attach to a perpetuity paying 200 annually can be calculated as follows,

PV or P =  Cash flow/ Interest or Required rate of Return

PV/P = 200/0.14  => 1428.57 rounded off to nearest cent

Frederick W. Taylor is speaking to a friend about scientific management. Which of the following statements might Frederick say?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

(A) The best way to increase your workers' productivity is to study their movements carefully. Figure out the fastest way to get the job done correctly, and then train all of the employees to do it the same way.

(B) Are you promoting people just because you like them? Try having managers make promotion decisions solely on the basis of a person's technical ability to do the work.

Explanation:

<em>Scientific Management theory</em> laid out by <em>Frederick W. Taylor</em> focuses on <em>effective (best) and efficient (less costly)</em> way of getting the work done.

(1) Statement A focuses on <em>motion and time studies</em> respectively.

In <em>motion studies</em>, we are concerned with elimination of unnecessary movements and activities required to perform a job. For eg, in order to manufacture 100 packets of biscuits, 5 processes are required but the processes currently used are 10, so 5 processes must be eliminated in order to save time and costs.

<em>Time studies</em> implies setting up time for performing a particular work activity. The time must be same for all the workers and could be based on the past factory time data of the activity. For eg, an average time per worker can be calculated for the activity taking into consideration the total time spent by total no. of workers on a particular work activity.

(2) Statement B focuses on promoting the persons based on their technical ability to do the work.

<em>Differential piece wage system</em> of F.W. Taylor applies perfectly to this statement. It prescribes paying workers as per the work done by them. For eg, a worker producing 15 units of a good per day would be paid $ 12 a unit, let's suppose and the worker producing less than that would be paid $ 10 a unit. So, the workers producing 15 and more units of a good, have higher technical ability with respect to the production of that good and hence, higher pay. The workers producing less than 15 units have lower technical ability and hence lower pay.

(3) Statement 3 relates to the administrative principle of "Unity of Command" laid out by Henry Fayol and hence, is not the solution statement.

Reece has decided to start his own brewery. To purchase the necessary equipment, Reece withdrew $20,000 from his savings account
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The opportunity cost is the income earned from her balance on savings account at the interest rate of 3% per year that Reece would received if she had not opened her owned brewery business. This opportunity cost is $600 per year.

Explanation:

Please find the below for further explanation and calculations:

The opportunity cost per one year = Income earned on saving account per one year = 20,000 x 3% = $600;

The reason why it is an opportunity cost is because as a result of opening brewery business, Reece sacrifices the income earned on this saving, instead, she contributes the saving fund to her brewery business.
