Jaxson Corporation has not yet decided on the required rate of return to use in its capital budgeting. This lack of information will prevent Jackson from calculating a project’s:   Payback Net Present Value Internal Rate of Return A) No No No B) Yes Yes Yes C) No Yes No D) No Yes Yes

In calculating the payback period where new equipment is replacing old equipment, any salvage value to be received on disposal of the old equipment should be added to the cost of the new equipment.

A corporation manufactures personal heaters. It has the capacity to manufacture and sell 70,000 heaters each year but is currently only manufacturing and selling 60,000. The following per unit numbers relate to annual operations at 60,000 units:    Per Unit    Selling price $ 120   Manufacturing costs:     Variable $ 25   Fixed $ 40   Selling and administrative costs:     Variable $ 10   Fixed $ 15   A  domestic city would like to purchase 3,000 personal heaters from the corporation but only if they can get them for $75 each. Variable selling and administrative costs on this special order will drop down to $2 per unit. This special order will not affect the 60,000 regular sales and it will not affect the total fixed costs. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order from the city should be:

A corporation has two divisions–East and West. The divisions have the following revenues and expenses:        East     West   Sales $ 585,000 $ 456,500   Variable costs 208,000 255,800   Traceable fixed costs 160,500 172,800   Allocated common corporate costs 131,000 185,300   Net operating income (loss) $ 85,500 $ (157,400)   Management is considering the elimination of the West Division. If the West Division were eliminated, its traceable fixed costs could be avoided. Total common corporate costs would be unaffected by this decision. Given these data, the elimination of the West Division would result in an overall company net operating income (loss) of:

The disbursements section of a cash budget consists of all estimated cash payments for the period including payments on loans made to reach the desired balance needed at the end of the period and interest expense on those loans.

A study was conducted among U.S. adults to assess concerns about being able to afford out of pocket healthcare costs. The following statistical outputs present findings from a regression analysis of how concerned a person is about out of pocket healthcare costs. A scale (0 to 30, with 0=no concern to 30=extreme concern) was constructed to measure a person’s concern about out of pocket healthcare costs. The continuous, independent variables included years of education, annual income in dollars, family members needing financial support (family support needed), number of chronic health conditions, and self-reported health status (5=excellent, 4=very good, 3=good, 2=fair, 1=poor). What can you conclude about the overall significance of the regression model? Provide an interpretation of the adjusted R square for the regression model?  

ou have loaded a GeoDataFrame named county_shapes. You want to combine it with a standard Pandas DataFrame df that contains COVID-19 data. Which of the following statements about the merge operation merged_gdf = pd.merge(county_shapes, df, …) is TRUE?

You are trying to filter a GeoDataFrame to only show counties with a high case count: high_risk = gdf > 1000] What happens to the spatial data (the ‘geometry’ column) in the new variable high_risk?
