The NPV and IRR method occasionally do not agree on accept/reject decisions when evaluating an investment proposal. The given statement is False.
Why positive NPV should be accepted?A project or venture has a positive NPV if the estimated earnings, discounted for their present value, are more than the anticipated costs, also expressed in today's currency. A positive NPV indicates an investment that is likely to be successful. Net loss will arise from an investment with a negative NPV.
The total of the investment's anticipated cash inflows and outflows, discounted back to their present value at a risk-adjusted rate, is known as the net present value. Project acceptance is granted if the NPV exceeds $0. The project is turned down in any other case.
Thus, the given statement is False.

There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why the statistic is preferred.
Question Completion:
a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.
b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.
c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
Answer:
The GDP Deflator and the CPI
a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.
b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here. Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.
c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation. Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP. On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.

B. you cannot compare completely heterogeneous goods by using their dollar values. C. prices for some goods change every year. D. market values of exported goods are usually priced in foreign currencies.
Answer:
C. prices for some goods change every year.
Explanation:
The reason why the real GDP (GDP adjusted to inflation) is a much better economic index than nominal GDP is that prices change over time, even if the quantities produced do not. It is actually possible for nominal GDP to increase even if total production output decreases due solely to high inflation rates.

During 2020, Mike's current FICA taxable is $2,700 and will not change for the remainder of the year. As of the 48th pay, he had earned $134,400 as FICA taxable income (he had a bonus earlier in the year). Determine the amount of FICA taxes to be withheld from the next three payroll periods.
Answer:
Social Security:
Week 49 = $167.4
Week 50 = $37.20
Week 51 = $0
Medicare Tax:
Week 49 = $39.15
Week 50 = $39.15
Week 51 = $39.15
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. But I have found similar question on the internet and in that question we are asked to assume the Tax Caps 2020. So, we will solving this question accordingly.
Solution:
According to 2020 slabs Social Security W/H, the upper limit is $137,700, after this amount employer will not withhold social security tax.
On the other hand, there is no limit for Medicare Tax.
According to the question, we know that, Mike's Pay period per amount = $2700.
And, until 48th pay, he has earned $134,400
So,
For week 49, the amount of 2700 will be added to the net amount.
$134,400 + $2700 = $ 137,100
Hence, it does not breach the upper limit so, it will be taxed to $2700 only.
%6.2 x 2700 = $167.4
For Week 50, now the net amount is $ 137,100, and further $2700 will definitely breach the upper limit by $600.
$ 137,700 - $137,100 = $600
So, the $600 will be taxed for 6.2%
6.2% x $600 = $37.20
For week 51, there is clear breach of the upper limit, so according to the 2020 slab for social security, there will be no social security tax over the limit of $137,700. Hence, it will be 0.
Now, for Medicare Tax:
There is no limit.
And 1.45% on the FICA.
FICA earned per period = $2700
Hence,
1.45% x $2700 = $39.15 for each week.
So,
Social Security:
Week 49 = $167.4
Week 50 = $37.20
Week 51 = $0
Medicare Tax:
Week 49 = $39.15
Week 50 = $39.15
Week 51 = $39.15
the federal government has Group of answer choices separate capital and operating budgets only a capital budget an operating budget only a single budget that includes both operating expenses and capital spending
Answer:
A single budget that includes both operating expenses and capital spending.
Explanation:
A budget can be defined as a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.
In the preparation of a budget, a list of each type of income and expense with respect to the budget is generally considered to be the first step. Also, the final step is making necessary adjustments to the budget by the top executive.
The federal government has a single budget that includes both operating expenses and capital spending on a cash basis.
Additionally, the benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.

Answer:
The answer is "$8,160.08".

Using formula:
[tex]A=P(1+ \frac{r}{100})^n + \text{Investment in 3 years} \times (1.032)\\\\15,000=5,800 (1+ \frac{3.2}{100})^4 + \text{Investment in 3 years} \times (1.032)\\\\15,000=5,800 (1+ 0.032)^4 + \text{Investment in 3 years} \times (1.032)\\\\15,000=5,800 (1.032)^4 + \text{Investment in 3 years} \times (1.032)\\\\[/tex]
[tex]15,000 = 5,800 \times 1.13427612 +\text{Investment in 3 years} \times (1.032)\\\\15,000=6,578.8015 + \text{Investment in 3 years} \times (1.032)\\\\\text{Investment in 3 years} = \frac{(15000-6578.8015)}{1.032}\\\\\text{Investment in 3 years} = \frac{8,421.1985}{1.032}\\\\\text{Investment in 3 years} = 8,160.07607\\\\ \text{Investment in 3 years} = 8,160. 08[/tex]
A water resources engineer is trying to run a cost-benefit analysis for a project. They need to first decide on the planning period (the benefits should be calculated over N years, and N should be determined). If N is too large, then the future benefits in those years (e.g. 70 years from now) will have a very low present value. Therefore, the engineer would like to cut off the planning period after a point when the present equivalent of benefits becomes less than 6.25% of that future benefit. If the interest rate is 8%, use the rule of 72 to determine the duration of the planning period (N).
Answer:
N = 36 years
Explanation:
Solution:
According to the 72 rule, present sum doubles in value, if the product of interest rate in percent and number of compounding period is 72.
So, We can say for every 9 years at 8 percent = 72 = present sum will be doubled.
Similarly, it will be doubled at 18 years., then 27 years, then 36 years and so on.
SO,
We need to find the P/F ratio, for the end of 0 years first.
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 0 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-0}[/tex] (Anything power zero = 1)
So, similarly, calculate this P/F ratio for every 9 years till present equivalent of benefits becomes less than 6.25% of that future benefit.
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 9 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 9 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-9}[/tex]
P/F = 0.50
Amount = 2x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 18 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 18 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-18}[/tex]
P/F = 0.25
Amount = 4x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 27 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 27 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-27}[/tex]
P/F = 0.13
Amount = 8x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 36 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 36 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-36}[/tex]
P/F = 0.06 = P/F ratio percentage = 6%
Amount = 16x
Hence, N = 36 years because it is the value nearest to 6.25% required
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 45 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 45 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-45}[/tex]
P/F = 0.03
Amount = 32x
What is the value of a building that is expected to generate fixed annual cash flows of $13,800 every year for a certain amount of time if the first annual cash flow is expected in 3 years from today and the last annual cash flow is expected in 8 years from today and the appropriate discount rate is 6.8 percent
Answer:
the present value is $58,026
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the building is shown below
Present value = Cash flows × Present value of discounting factor( interest rate%,time period)
= $13,800 ÷ 1.068^3 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^4 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^5 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^6 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^7 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^8
= $58,026
Hence, the present value is $58,026

Answer:
The systems theory:
emphasizes that an organization is one system in a series of subsystems.
Explanation:
A systems theory approach is a theoretical perspective that focuses on the interactions and relationships between parts of a whole. The theory helps to understand how an entity is organized, functions, and produces outcomes, which impact its growth. It also explains how rules and regulations are applied to govern an organization towards the achievement of its goals.
The systems theory is emphasizing that an organization is one system in a series of subsystems. Thus, option (a) is correct.
The systems theory of organization asserts that organizations are composed of many subsystems that are not necessarily related to one another but work together to form the whole.
The systems approach to management looks at a business as a series of systems and subsystems that interact with one another to create the overall organizational system.
In the systems approach to management, employees are more focused on achieving a collective goal for an organization rather than operational output.
Therefore, option (a) is correct

What is the connection between psychology and mathematics?
The area of psychology known as mathematical psychology is concerned with using mathematical and computational models to analyze and forecast human behavior. Memory, attention, problem-solving, perception, decision-making, and motor control are typical areas of interest.
Psychologists can interpret data and gain a better understanding of the brain with math. Therefore, having these skills is essential if you want to be as productive as possible at work. Though they usually focus on a person's behavior and thought processes, therapists can benefit from having a basic understanding of math. Students who understand math will do better in their science classes because math is closely related to the subjects they study.

The new CFO thinks that inventories are excessive and could be lowered sufficiently to cause the current ratio to equal the industry average, 2.85, without affecting either sales or net income. Assuming that inventories are sold off and not replaced to get the current ratio to the target level, and that the funds generated are used to buy back common stock at book value, by how much would the ROE change
Answer:
4.50%
Explanation:
Note: Question is incomplete but very similar one is attached as picture below
Current ROE = Net Income / Equity = $21,000 / $280,000 = 7.50%
Current Inventory = $210,000
Target Current ratio = 2.70
1. Current assets at target Current ratio = Current Liabilities * Target current ratio = $70000 * 2.70 = $189,000
2. Reduction in Inventories = Present Current assets - Current assets under target current ratio
Reduction in Inventories = $14000 + $70000 + $210000 - $189000
Reduction in Inventories = $105000
3. Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = Current Equity - reduction
Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = $280,000 - $105,000
Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = $175,000
4. Change in ROE = New ROE - Current ROE
Change in ROE = [21000 / 175000] - 7.50%
Change in ROE = 12% - 7.50%
Change in ROE = 4.50%
Jane James owns an appliance store. She normally receives $50,000 worth of appliances per month. She does not like to owe people money and always pays her bills on the day she receives the invoice. Someone told her that if she delayed payment, she could actually increase her profit because the money would be earning interest in her account. She went through her bills and found that she actually had an additional ten days, on average to pay her invoices. She also found that she was earning 5 percent interest on the money she had in her money market savings account. If she delayed payment by ten days, how much additional interest would she earn for the year
Answer:
The correct answer is "$820".
Explanation:
Whenever she delays compensation by 10 days a month (even though she receives monthly invoices), she will indeed earn interest for something like a combined amount of 120 days (10 days x 12 months) again for full year of 365 days.
The interest earned will be:

= $361.34 - $360.64
= $0.70
n the context of competing in the global economy, globalization suggests that: a. an organization's nationality is held strongly in consciousness. b. the world's cultural diversity is of no significance to transnational organizations. c. the world is divided by borders and diverse cultures. d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Answer:
d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Explanation:
Globalisation is defined as the increase in connectivity between different nations as a result of increased volume of trade and culture exchange that occurs between the nations.
Such increase in inter connectivity leads to a global economy where national borders do not seem to exist.
Globalisation reduces the cumbersome process of having to pay various charges when transacting between countires
Make-or-Buy Decision
Fremont Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $40 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 25% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $16
Direct labor 20
Factory overhead (25% of direct labor) 5
Total cost per unit $41
If Fremont Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 5% of the direct labor costs.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated September 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case. If an amount is zero, enter "0". If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
