From my evaluation of the information provided by Franklin Printers of Fort Lauderdale, FL their suggestion to have the sum of the simple cash flow from the investment be positive after a maximum of 5 years is a very extreme bid for Abcor to meet. In order for Abcor to meet their requirement Abcor will have to discount their machine from $12,000 to $6,000, which is a 50% discount. This will cause Abcor to only make $3,734 DCF (Figure 3.1) after 5 years, which isn’t a great profit for a company over 5 years. Looking at the break-even analysis graph(Figure 3.2) it seems this could be a solution, but the confirmation of this being a bad bid can be found in the Cash Flow vs Machine Cost graph (Figure 3.3), where we can see that the buyers DCF is constantly in the negative. This shows us that discounting the machine will not bring positive cash flows to the buying company.
The interest you receive on the first investment is $110 per year for three years. You receive $330 on the second investment in the third year and nothing in the first two years. If your discount rate is 6%, what should you pay for each of these investments? Present Value of #1 = $110 + $110 + $110 = $294.03 (1.06) (1.06)2 (1.06)3 Present Value of #2 = $0 + $0 + $330 = $ 277.07 (1.06) (1.06)2 (1.06)3 You will pay more for investment #1 b) You can make two different new products at your plant. Product #1 is expected to earn no profit in the first year, $500 in the second year and $1,000 in the third year.
Putting into place mandatory recycling of waste could help provide jobs, and some materials when properly recycled can even create energy. According to the EPA, 250 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) was disposed of in 2008. Of that number, 33.2% was recycled. MSW includes paper, food, cotton, leather, plastic, rubber and other fabrics. U.S. citizens would hopefully be less likely to dispose of the millions of tons of waste that we do each year if we were charged by the pound for disposal like other countries such as Germany.
The temperatures are rising and the ice is melting. If the North Pole melts, then water levels will rise and many islands and some coast will be underwater. The polar bears are also becoming extinct because their homes are melting away. To me, the answer to how to stop this is to try and stop or diminish the air pollution rate. We have to cut down on the factory usage, and car pool when going places.
The Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing On the Environment Amber (Dawn) Phillips University Of Pheonix Abstract Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking offers a means to reduce foreign oil dependence for America. While this may be a solution for one problem, the process itself can and will cause problems on a much greater scale. Fracking methods are posing great dangers of damage to our already polluted environment. If the process as it stands at this point continues, the harm will be irreversible and dire. The Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing On the Environment Dependence on foreign oil has long been a concern of Americans.
The destruction of rainforests is simply due to human greed and factors such as pollution. Besides damaging our environment, losing the rainforests would mean extinction of thousands of useful plants and animal species. Not only will plants and animals be lost due to destruction, but homes of Native Americans will be destroyed as
The second reason why snow leopards are endangered is the global warming . As climate change causes temperatures to ruse, snow lines are receding, which means that snow leopards must move further up the mountain slopes as well. While they get higher ,the vegetation becomes more few, which means that the herbivores that they prey on are in limited supply as well, and the leopards are having trouble finding enough food. In conclusion, snow leopards has been listed as an endangered species for so many reasons , Two important causes of it are hunting and global warming. In my opinion, people should help out rescue groups who are trying to save these animals .I hope everyone read and spread the world about these beautiful animals with their unusual light green eyes because knowledge is always important
However, the oil drilling also contributes to environmental degradation in a variety of ways (Defenders of Wildlife, 1). They have a tremendous impact on the water, ocean floor, air quality and marine ecosystems. The dangers of deep sea drilling are evident through the years; this is especially in the case of exploration of oil below the depths of 200 meters; the situation worsens due to recent occurrences. The decline in global oil reserves facilitates the discovery and exploitation of many sources on the seabed. The evident rise in the price of oil worldwide increases the determination of companies in seeking more sources of oil.
But the latest United Nations projection puts the figure at little more than a quarter of that - less than 11 billion. That's still 50% more than we have today, but it shows the UN expects much slower population growth in the decades to come than in decades gone by. Some might consider that an increase in the world population from seven billion to 11 billion by 2100 still represents out-of-control population growth. But this UN figure - contained in its World Population Prospects, published every two years - is considered by one expert, at least, to be much too
Oil for example can vary in price from week to week because of certain situations that limit the supply. In James Herron’s article in the Wall Street Journal, “IEA Again Cuts Oil-Demand View,” he outlines several examples of situations that increase and decrease the supply and demand for oil such as natural disasters, population growth, and economic downturns. Natural disasters can severely affect a country’s supply and demand for certain products. For example, Japan was one of the most advanced countries in the world in nuclear energy; however when the huge earthquake happened it caused a nuclear meltdown in one of their major power plants releasing very dangerous toxins into the air. “Japan's oil demand rose 9.5% in December from the year-ago month, as it uses fossil fuels to fill the gap left by shutdowns in its nuclear industry after the earthquake and tsunami last year” (WSJ).
