Which scenario best illustrates the “fatherhood bonus” as described in the presentation (Home 1a)?

Daenerys Targaryen is considering investing in a new dragon-breeding operation in Dragonstone. The construction of a suitable dragon pit would cost $1,200,000. Additionally, Daenerys would need to spend $250,000 on dragon-rearing equipment. Daenerys estimates that if she were to pursue this investment, annual cash inflows would be $550,000, while annual cash outflows would be $365,000 for the 11 years of operations. Finally, Daenerys believes that after 11 years, she could sell the entire operation for $800,000. If Daenerys requires a rate of return on her investments of 10%, what is the NPV of her venture? (Use the appropriate values from the tables provided or a financial calculator. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Round final answer to the nearest dollar. Use a negative sign (-) to indicate a negative NPV.)

The standard cost of one Busch Apple beer includes 5 units of direct materials at $0.67 per unit. During May, Busch buys 60,000 units of direct material at $0.75 per unit to produce 11,000 beers.  What is Busch’s materials quantity variance?

Which of the following are true statements I.     Companies should generally accept positive NPV projects and reject negative NPV projects assuming other factors are consistent II.    A downside of the cash payback method is that it ignores the total profitability over the lifetime of the investment III.   The internal rate of return (IRR) method ignores the time value of money IV.   The net present value (NPV) method requires all cash flows to be of equal size V.    The longer the payback period, the more attractive the investment

The Small Council is considering two mutually exclusive investments to strengthen the realm. Restoring King’s Landing would require an initial investment of $80,000 and provide cash flows of $34,000 a year for six years. Rebuilding Winterfell would require an initial investment of $70,000 and provide cash flows of $29,000 a year for seven years. Assume that the required rate of return is 7%. Salvage value is 0 for both projects. What is the profitability index of the investment the Small Council should choose? (Use the appropriate values from the tables provided or a financial calculator. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to two decimal places.)

When Erysichthon sells his daughter into slavery, she cries out: “Stretching her arms towards the sea, she cried: / You who ravished my maidenhead, save me. / Neptune knew the voice of his pretty victim / And granted the prayer.” What does the daughter’s appeal to Neptune most directly reveal about how divine relationships function in this myth?
