Answer:

Present value of the offer = $739,018.03

Explanation:

The cash flows described in the question from end of year 1 to end of year 20 represent a growing annuity for  20 years. The present value of a growing annuity is calculated as follows:

PV= \frac{P}{i-g}*[1-[\frac{1+g}{1+i}]^n]

where P = the annuity payment in the first period

          i = interest rate per period that would be compounded for each period

         g = growth rate

         n = number of payment periods

P in the 1st year = the base salary of $59,000 + the 10% bonus of $5,900 = $64,900; g is 3.9% ;i=0.1 and n = 20

Present value of the offer = 15,000 received immediately + PV of the growing annuity

= 15,000+\frac{64,900}{0.1-0.039}*[1-[\frac{1+0.039}{1+0.1}]^2^0]=739,018.03

If frost in Florida reduces the quantity of vegetables sold by 20 percent and increases their retail price by 30 percent, one ca
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The supply of vegetables has shifted to the left along an inelastic demand curve

Explanation: The quantity of vegetables sold has been reduced by 20 percent, which simply means the aggregate market supply curve has experienced a drop/decrease and that is usually indicated by a complete shift of the supply curve to the left.

Furthermore, we can determine easily if the demand is elastic or inelastic, since the question has stated the percentage change in quantity demanded as 20% and the percentage change in price as 30%.

The coefficient of elasticity is calculated as

E = %change in quantity demanded/%change in price

E = 20/30

E =0.66

Since the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1, then it means demand is inelastic.

As the winter holiday season was approaching, Margie decided to give each team a window display or an indoor display to decorate
Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is autonomy (Option D)

Explanation:

Autonomy in human resource management refers to the level or degree of discretion and freedom which an employee is permitted to exercise when performing his/her job.  In other words, it means granting employees the freedom on how to approach work.  

A manager or superior like Margie (in the question) who gives employees autonomy simply gives minimal instruction on what needs to be achieved but allows the employees to go about the job in ways that best suit them.

B.information quality

C.whether the information is negative or positive

Llana [10]

Answer:

April ending inventory cost= $121,875

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Unit production cost       Absorption cost       Variable cost

Direct material                     $15                              $15

Direct labor                            10                                10  

Variable factory overhead    7.5                              7.5  

Fixed factory overhead          5

Total cost                               $37.5                       $32.5  

Finished goods inventory = 12,500 - 8,750 = 3,750

Finished goods inventory cost using absorption costing = 3,750 × $37.50

= $140,625

Finished goods inventory cost using variable costing  = 3,750 × $32.50

= $121,875
