Project A has a predicted payback period of 2.5 and Project B has a predicted payback period of 5. Based on this information we can conclude that Select one: A. more information should be gathered before deciding on which project, if either, is desirable. B. Project A is preferred to Project B. C. Project B provides twice the return of Project A. D. Project B is preferred to Project A, but it is not necessarily twice as profitable.

Answers

Answer:

A. more information should be gathered before deciding on which project, if either, is desirable.

Explanation:

The lower Payback Period is not sufficient information to decide which project is more profitable. The payback period indicates when in the life of a project the initial investment principal cash flow is achieved.

But to decide about a certain project it is better to know the interest yield, it is also important to get the life of the project and other information.

For example:

a.- 250 investment 100 per year  payback in 2.5-year life 3 years

b.- 500 investment 100 per year payback in 5-year life 20 years

While A payback occurs before project B is better

In the situation described in the above question, suppose that the Central Bank of Vietnam decides to keep the nominal dong-dollar exchange rate constant indefinitely. Given whatDEP Inc. has determined about the trend in the real exchange rates and assuming that the rate of inflation in the rest of the world remains unchanged, what should one expect to happen to the rate of inflation in Vietnam over the next several years compared to the past?

Answers

Options:

a.The rate of inflation will rise.

b.The rate of inflation will decline.

c.The rate of inflation will remain unchanged.

d.The rate of inflation may rise or decline

Answer:b.The rate of inflation will decline.

Explanation:Fixed exchange rate is a term used in Economics to describe the "pegging" or fixes the amount to which its own currency will trade with a popular currency like the United States Dollar. This will give investors,importers and exporters more stability and confidence as they will not be scared of indiscriminate fluctuations. WITH THIS CONFIDENCE THE RATE OF INFLATION WILL DECLINE AS INVESTORS WILL NOT BE UNDER PRESSURE TO HOARD GOODS OR REDUCE THE VOLUME OF PRODUCTS RELEASED TO THE MARKET AND CONSUMERS WILL NOT BE UNDER PRESSURE TO BUY.

Rist Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The Corporation estimated that it would incur $255,000 in manufacturing overhead during the year and that it would work 100,000 machine-hours. The Corporation actually worked 105,000 machine-hours and incurred $270,000 in manufacturing overhead costs. By how much was manufacturing overhead underapplied or overapplied for the year? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

underapplied by 2,250

Explanation:

(Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead)/(Cost \:Driver)= Overhead \:Rate

we will distribute the expected cost of overhead  ovwer the cost driver. In this case, machine hours:

255,000 / 100,000 = 2.55

Then we multiply thew rate by the amount of actual hours:

105,000 x 2.55 = 267,760

We compare with the appleid overhead:

267,760 - 270,000 = -2,250

As the actual overehad was higher than applied overhead the overhead was underapplied

An investment of $1,000 produces a net cash inflow of $500 in the first year and $750 in the second year. What is the payback period? a.1.67 years b.0.50 year c.2.00 years d.1.20 years e.Cannot be determined.

Answers

Answer:

a. 1.67 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

In year 0 = $1,000

In year 1 = $500

In year 2 = $750

If we take the only year 1 cash inflow i.e $500

Now we deduct the $500 from the $1,000, so the amount would be $500

And, the next year cash inflow is $750

So, the payback period equal to

= 1 years + $500 ÷ $750

= 1.67 years

What are the tools of macroeconomic policy?

Answers

Answer:

° Fiscal policy

° Monetary policy

° Exchange rate policy

Explanation:

Macro economics policy are tools used by a country's government through their central bank to influence the supply of money, control interest rate in their economy which will lead to economy stability and growth. The tools are explained below. An increase in government spending will make funds available to the household and firms hence increases the volume of money supply in the economy, while a decrease in government spending will also reduce the availability of money to household and firms.

° Fiscal policy . This refers to the use of tax and government expenditure to regulate the supply of money an economy. For instance, government through its central bank uses tax cut to increase the flow of money in an economy. Also, if the government feels that the supply of money in circulation is too much, which could result in inflation, government can increase taxes to be paid by individuals, firms and businesses which in turn will reduce the availability of money.

° Monetary policy. Monetary policy refers to various tools used by the government to control the flow of money in an economy, which includes open market operation, special reserves, interest rate adjustment. For instance, the government through CBN could buy or sell government issued securities which will ultimately affect the supply of money in an economy. Also, there is usually a minimum amount of reserves which must be held by commercial banks, which ultimately affects the supply of money. An increase in reserve ratio reduces the ability of banks to lend money to their customers while and a reduction in the reserve ratio increases their ability to lend to the public hence increases money supply.

° Exchange rate policy. The value of a country's currency in relation to other country's currency is referred to as exchange rate. Exchange rate policy is used to control inflation, preserve the value of domestic currency and also to maintain a favorable external balance of payments of a country.
