Suppose a college student is texting while driving and gets into an accident that causes $2,000 worth of damage to her car. When the student repairs her car as a result of this accident, GDP will: be unchanged because the car has less value now, but car repairs are a service produced by the economy. fall by $2,000 since the car has less value now. rise by $2,000 since car repairs are a service produced by the economy. rise by the amount that the car originally cost minus the $2,000. This example suggests that using GDP as a measure of well-being is: inadequate because the original value of the car is not considered in this example. standard and acceptable, even though the car repair, and not the car destruction, is included in the basic measure of GDP. imperfect because the car repair, and not the car destruction, is included in the basic measure of GDP. standard and acceptable, even though the original value of the car is not considered in this example.

Cardinal company is considering a project that would require a $2,725,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years. at the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would be sold for its salvage value of $400,000. the company’s discount rate is 14%. the project would provide net operating income each year as follows: sales $2,867,000 variable expenses 1,125,000 contribution margin 1,742,000 fixed expenses: advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $706,000 depreciation 465,000 total fixed expenses 1,171,000 net operating income $571,000 1. which item(s) in the income statement shown above will not affect cash flows? (you may select more than one answer. single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.) (a)sales (b)variable expenses (c) advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs expenses (d) depreciation expense 2. what are the project’s annual net cash inflows? 3.what is the present value of the project’s annual net cash inflows? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) 4.what is the present value of the equipment’s salvage value at the end of five years? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) 5.what is the project’s net present value? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
