The cost of capital for the Rochester Hills and Saint Clair Shores stores is I percent and the cost of capital for the Saginaw Township North store is R percent. We know that Y > Q > 0 and I > R > 0. The cash flows from the sales are the only cash flows associated with the various stores. Based on the information in the preceding paragraph, which assertions would be true?

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity

Label each scenario with the term that best describes it. use the midpoint method when applicable. marcel duchamp was a famous artist prior to his death, and was known for his dada artwork, including works such as "soft toilet". all of his original sculptures and paintings go on sale. paul owns a tim horton's, a famous donut and coffee franchise. he is willing to sell as many maple glazed donuts as customers want at a price of $1.00 each, but he refuses to sell any donuts for any price lower than $1.00 . the price of facial tissues rises from $2.85 per box to $3.15 . as a result, p& g increases production from 15 million boxes to 25 million boxes of facial tissue. with the school semester starting for both high school and college, papermate chooses to increase production of pens from 38 million to 42 million after global prices of writing instruments increase from $1.90 a package to $2.10 a package. bright ideas increases its production of lightbulbs by 15% after a 400% increase in the price of fluorescent bulbs.labels: elastic supply; perfectly inelastic supply; perfectly elastic supply; inelastic supply; unit-elastic supply.

Lo.2, 3, 9 lori, who is single, purchased 5-years class property for $200,00 and 7-years class property for $420,000 on may 20, 2018. lori experts the taxable income derived form the business (without regard to the amount expensed under ⧠179) to be about $550,000. lori has determined that she should elect immediate ⧠179 expensing in the amount of $520,000, but she doesn’t know which asset she should completely expense under ⧠179. she does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. a. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset. b. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset. c. what is your advice for lori? d. assume that lori is in the 24% marginal tax bracket and that she uses ⧠179 on the 7-year asset. determine the present value of the tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets. see appendix g for present value factors, and assume a 6% discount rate. e. assume the same facts as in part (d), except that lori decides not to use ⧠179 on either asset. determine the present value of the tax savings under this choice. in addition, determine which option lori should choose. f. present your solution to parts (d) and (e) of the problem in a spreadsheet using appropriate microsoft excel formulas. e-mail your spreadsheet to your instructor with a two-paragraph summary of your findings.
