Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

We currently live in a globalized world. Globalization is an economic and political phenomenon that has transformed the relations of production and labor. The companies started to produce in countries where the labor is cheaper, becoming consequently more competitive. Thus, US multinational companies outsource the manufacture of components of their products in different territories. For example, an Iphone has components made in China, Vietnam and others. This makes the final price of the iphone lower around the world.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

- Net present value of each project:

Project A:$37,193

Project B:$4,629

=> Project A should be chosen based on NPV approach as its NPV is higher.

- Internal rate of return of each project:

Project A: 20%

Project B: 12%

=>Project A should be chosen based on IRR approach as its IRR is higher

Explanation:

- Net present value calculation:

NPV for Project A: -111,000 + (37,116/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $37,193

NPV for Project B: -43,000 + (11,929/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $4,629.

- Internal rate of return approach;

IRR is the discount rate that bring NPV of project's cash flows to 0. Thus:

IRR for project A: -111,000 + (37,116/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 20%

IRR for project B: -43,000 + (11,929/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 12%

b. Assets $15,000 O = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity $15,000 O

c. Assets = Liabilities $1,500 O + Stockholders' Equity $1,500 U

d. Assets = Liabilities $17,500 O + Stockholders' Equity $17,500 U

e. Assets $620 O = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity $620 O

Mr. Rich arranged for a mortgage loan for 65 percent of the $2.5 million purchase price of a home. The monthly payment will be $
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Effective annual rate = 6.82 %

Explanation:

given data

loan = 65 % of  $2.5 million = $1625000

monthly payment pmt = $10,400

time = 30 year = 30 × 12 = 360

solution

we get here rate first by present value

present value = pmt × \frac{1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}   ..........1

$1625000 = $10400  × \frac{1-(1+r)^{-360}}{r}

15.625 = \frac{1-(1+r)^{-360}}{r}

solve it we get

r = 0.5517%

and Effective annual rate  will be

Effective annual rate = (1+r)^{12} -1

Effective annual rate = (1+0.005517)^{12} -1

Effective annual rate = 0.068250

Effective annual rate = 6.82 %
