Answer:

$154.79

Explanation:

Note: See the attached file for the calculation of the present value of this annuity.

But, we first calculate the effective interest rate as follows:

r = Effective interest rate = (1 + (i/p))^p - 1 .................. (1)

Where;

i = interest rate = 5%, 0.0500

p = number compounding in year = 4

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

r = (1 + (0.05/4))^4 - 1 = 0.0509453369140624

Using the effective interest rate above, the present value of this annuity is $154.79.

Answer:

B. Contact the employer by phone, fax, or email

Explanation:

Josefina submitted a complaint online that is non-serious in nature. The OSHA most likely respond by contacting the employer by phone, fax, or email.

Because the complaint is of informal or non serious nature, the other option does not sit well with the situation. To satisfy Josefina, they would just make a call or send and email or fax so she is satisfied and feels that her complaint is being looked at.

Net Present Value Analysis Anderson Company must evaluate two capital expenditure proposals. Anderson’s hurdle rate is 12%. Data
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Initial outflows for project X and Y is $120,000

PV for project X = $148,664.98

NPV For project X = $28,664.98

NPV for project Y = $12,170.15

PV for project Y = $132,170.15

Project X is more attractive

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested .

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

NPV for proposal X :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-120,000

Cash flow each year from year one to 12 = $24,000

I = 12%

NPV = $28,664.98

PV = $-120,000 + 28,664.98 = $148,664.98

NPV for proposal Y :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-120,000

Cash flow in year 3, 6, 9, and 12 = $72,000

I = 12%

NPV = $12,170.15

PV = $120,000 + $12,170.15 = $132,170.15

The project X should be chosen because its NPV is greater than that of project Y.

Which individual is a producer?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

To be considered as a producer, we need to create some sorts of goods or services and exchange it with the customers in order to obtain some sort of financial gain. I believe that a host who seats customers in a busy restaurant would be considered a producer because he is providing a service to consumers.

Hope this helps!
