The answer is:

Covers out of network doctors and specialists.

Freedom to see more doctors.

PPO stands for Preferred provider organization. When we buy this medical plan, we are eligible to obtain medical service from a network of healthcare professionals that are created by the medical plan provider.

From that network, we are given the freedom to choose which doctors we want to see. We can use their years of experience, expertise, and location as consideration for our choosing. Normal medical plan would not provide us with the freedom to choose our doctor.

Henry is demonstrating his gross motor skills when he picks up cheerios from his high-chair tray.

mafiozo [28]

This is incorrect. Henry is actually demonstrating fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are those skills that pertain to large movements like walking, balance, jumping, etc. Fine motor skills are those that pertain to fine manipulation like writing, picking up small objects (like the cheerrios), or tying a knot.

Benjamin works at an automobile manufacturing company. The country in which the company operates is facing a heavy trade deficit

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Command Economic System.

Explanation:

Economic systems define the control of the government on the economic resources and the institutions of the country. There are four major economic systems. One is Traditional Economic System, other is Command Economic System, third one is Market Economic System and the fourth one is Mixed Economic System.

Command Economic System is an economic system in which the central powers are with the government. Government regulate the decisions of economy as well as of the institutions. In this type of economy, the government dictates the companies to do whatever the government says and thinks is the best for the country's economy.

So in this question, government thinks that the best way to overcome the trade deficit is to increase the exports of the Sedan cars at a competitive price in the international market without seeking any advice from the automobile manufacturers. This type of economic system is called the Command Economic System.

What is the present value of the future cash flows, if you also could earn $110,000 per year rent on the property? The rent is p

dem82 [27]

Answer:

a. The present value of the sales price is $1.657 million.

b. No. This is because an investment in the property will result in a negative net present value (NPV) of $0.443 million.

c-1. The present value of the future cash flows is $2.122 million.

c-2. Yes. Yes. This is because an investment in the property will result in a positive net present value (NPV) of $0.022 million.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:

You can buy property today for $2.1 million and sell it in 6 years for $3.1 million. (You earn no rental income on the property.)

a. If the interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the sales price? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 3 decimal places.)

b. Is the property investment attractive to you?

c-1. What is the present value of the future cash flows, if you also could earn $110,000 per year rent on the property? The rent is paid at the end of each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 3 decimal places.)

c-2. Is the property investment attractive to you now?

The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:

a. If the interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the sales price? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 3 decimal places.)

The present value of the sales price can be calculated using the simple present value formula as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ……………………….. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the sales price = ?

FV = Future value or the sales price in 6 years = $3.1 million

r = interest rate = 11%, or 0.11

n = number of years = 6

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

PV = $3.1 / (1 + 0.11)^6

PV = $3.1 / 1.11^6

PV = $3.1 / 1.870414552161

PV = $1.65738659187525 million

Rounding to 3 decimal places, we have:

PV = $1.657 million

Therefore, the present value of the sales price is $1.657 million.

b. Is the property investment attractive to you?

No. This is because an investment in the property will result in a negative net present value (NPV) of $0.443 million.

The negative net present value (NPV) of $0.443 million is determined as follows:

NPV = Present value of the sales price - Acquisition cost = $1.657 million - $2.1 million = -$0.443 million

The present value of the future cash flows can be calculated using the following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the present value of the $110,000 per year rent

Since the rent is paid at end of each year, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PVR = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)

Where;

PVR = Present value of yearly rent = ?

P = Annual rent =$110,000

r = interest rate = 11%, or 0.11

n = number of years = 6

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PVR = $110,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.11))^6) / 0.11)

PVR = $110,000 * 4.23053785373826

PVR = $465,359.163911209

Converting to million and rounded to 3 decimal places, we have:

PVR = $0.465 million

Step 2: Calculation of the present value of the future cash flows

Present value of future cash flows = Present value sales price + Present value of annual rent ……. (3)

Where;

Present value sales price = $1.657 million, as already calculate in part a above

Present value of annual rent = PVR = $0.465 million

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

Present value of future cash flows = $1.657 million + $0.465 million = $2.122 million

Therefore, the present value of the future cash flows is $2.122 million.

c-2. Is the property investment attractive to you now?

Yes. This is because an investment in the property will result in a positive net present value (NPV) of $0.022 million.

The positive net present value (NPV) of $0.022 million is determined as follows:

NPV = Present value of tof the future cash flows - Acquisition cost = $2.122 million - $2.1 million = 0.0219999999999998 million

Converting to million and rounded to 3 decimal places, we have:

NPV = $0.022 million

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: 12.68%

Explanation:

The Effective Annual Interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for the number of compounding periods a financial product will experience in a period of time which is usually a year.

The formula is,

Effective annual interest rate = (1 + (nominal rate / number of compounding periods)) ^ (number of compounding periods) - 1

Plugging in the figures would give,

EAR = (1 + 0.01) ^ 12 - 1

EAR = 1.01^12 - 1

EAR = 12.68%

You might notice that in the bracket I did not divide the 1% by 12. This is because the 1% was already given as the month's interest rate.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Small-scale and flexible; Large-scale and inflexible.

Explanation:

Job shops tend to be small scale and flexible while continuous processes tend to be large scale and inflexible.

Job Shop: It is defined as small manufacturing units that produce a specific and customized product in small batches. Most of the products produced in this process have a unique set up. The estimation of costs is generally most difficult when the Job shop process has been chosen.

Continous processes: It is a streamlined process that has a production flow of products from one step to another without any interruption. A larger quantity is produced at one time, not in batches. It requires sophisticated control system.
