Answer:

1) none of the above  $3828.57 ( E )

2) $1143 ( c )

3)  $24571 ( A )

4)  $17142.86 ( E )

5) 12% ( B )

6) $410 ( B )

7) $2744.95 ( f )

8) $17,489 ( c )

9) $24282.36 ( F )

10) 867

Explanation:

1)  The annual after-tax net returns

net income = cash flow - depreciation

                 = $10500 - \frac{cost of equipment}{estimated life}  =   10500 - (40000/7) = $4785.71

calculate the annual net after tax returns = net income * (1 - Tax rate ) = 4785 * (0.80) = $3828.57

2) Tax savings from depreciation

Tax savings from depreciation = Depreciation amount * Tax rate

                                                   = (\frac{equipment cost}{estimated life} ) * Tax rate

                                                  = (40000/7) * 0.2 = $1142.86 ≈ $1143

3) After tax terminal value in three years

Sale value = $25000,

Book value = 40000 - ( 5714.29 * 3 ) = $22857.13

Gain on sale = sale value - book value = $2142.87

tax rate = gain on sale * tax rate = 2142.87 * 0.2 = $428.57

Terminal value = sales value - tax rate = 25000 - 428.57 ≈ $24571

4) Accumulated depreciation over the three years

= depreciation amount * 3 years

=5714.29 * 3 = $17142.86

5) After tax discount rate

= discount rate * (1 - tax rate )

= 15% * 0.80 = 12%

6) Present value of the after-tax net returns

SOLUTION attached below

7) Present value tax savings from depreciation

= Tax savings from depreciation / ( 1+r)^n  note ; n = 3

= $1142.86 / ( 1 + 0.12 )^3 = $2744.95

8) present value of the after-tax terminal value

Pv of terminal value = Terminal value / ( 1 + r ) ^n

                                = $24571.43 / ( 1 + 0.12 ) ^3 = $17,489

9) Net present value

= net cash flows / ( 1 + r ) ^n

= 34114.29 / ( 1 + 0.12) ^3

= $34114.29 /  1.4049 = $24282.36

Anggarkan nilai bagi 11.4³.<br>A. 1731<br>B. 1500<br>C. 1331<br>D. 1000​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

  • <u><em>option C. 1331.</em></u>

Explanation:

The question asks for an estimate of 11.4³.

To calculate 11.4³ exactly to must multiply 11.4 × 11.4 × 11.4.

But to have an estimate, the easiest way is to round 11.4 to 11 and find 11³ = 11 × 11 × 11.

That is not a difficult operation.

That is equal to 11² × 11.

  • 11² is a common square, which you should know that it is 121. Else, you can multiply 11 × 11 easily and obtain 121:

        11 × 11 = (10 + 1) × 11 = 110 + 11 = 121

  • Then multiply 11 × 121

         11 × 121 = (10 + 1) × 121 = 10 × 121 + 121 = 1210 + 121 = 1331

There you have your answer: option C. 1331.

Which of the following would LEAST likely foster diversity in the workplace?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": changing the culture through diversity training education programs.

Explanation:

Boosting diversity at the workplace is an activity that mainly relies on the representatives of the Human Resources (HR) Department. They are in charge of recruiting and selecting the applicants that will be part of the institution based on their capabilities and expertise. Thus, HR representatives could promote the selection of different individuals from different ages, races, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, without preferring one or another, so the working environment will be diversified and the company can take advantage of the different backgrounds of those new hires.

Therefore, <em>training other employees could improve the understanding of other employees on dealing with workers different than them but this does not foster diversity in the workplace.</em>
