Answer:

NPV -6,422.07908

The investment is not profitable at current cost of capital os 11.6%

Explanation:

Sister Pools 11.6% after tax cost of capital

Contructions 10.3% after tax cost of capital

- 85,000

cash flow 17,000 for next 7 years

<u>We will calculate the present value of a 7-years annuity of 17,000 at 11.6% </u>rate

<em>We use Sister Pools rate because we are asked for this company and there is no indication about a change in the cost of capital condition.</em>

<em />

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\\\\\\\17,000 \frac{1-(1+0.116)^{-7} }{0.116} = PV\\

PV = 78,577.92092

<u>Next we subtract the investment cost to get the Net Present Value</u>

78,577.92092 - 85,000 = -6,422.07908

On February 2, 2016, the Farmer Corporation issued 9,000 shares of no-par stock for $17 per share. Within two hours of the issue
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

D. 189,000 = NA + 189,000 NA - NA = NA 189,000 FA

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

When 9,000 shares of no-par stock issued for $17 per share increases to $21, this means that the additional amount

= ($21 - $17) × 9000

= $36,000

Amount to be collected from the issue

= $21 × 9000

= $189,000

This will result in an increase in cash and an increase in owners equity (the respective debits and credits).

Wewaii [24]

Answer: His district manager may be influenced by <u><em>availability bias. </em></u>

Explanation:

Availability bias may influence his manager because the district manager has this information in his recent memory. He may consider this to be an accurate description of Otis's behavior all of the time, and not just in recent times. Since everything has occurred since the last evaluation he may be judged solely on these actions and not of his overall actions and work ethic in the past.

There are several ways to avoid availability bias such as:

  • Set high standards
  • Build a diverse team
  • Utilize your network
  • Seek input from your team
