Building 2 will be an office and is appraised at $660,000, with a useful life of 20 years and a $80,000 salvage value. Land Improvements 1 is valued at $540,000 and is expected to last another 18 years with no salvage value. The land is valued at $1,800,000. The company also incurs the following additional costs. Cost to demolish Building 1 $ 346,400 Cost of additional land grading 187,400 Cost to construct Building 3, having a useful life of 25 years and a $400,000 salvage value 2,242,000 Cost of new Land Improvements 2 having a 20-year useful life and no salvage value 168,000 2.

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

cranium, inc., purchases term papers from an overseas supplier under a continuous review system. the average demand for a popular mode is 300 units a day with a standard deviation of 30 units a day. it costs $60 to process each order and there is a five−day lead−time. the holding cost for a paper is $0.25 per year and the company policy is to maintain a 98% service level. cranium operates 200 days per year. what is the reorder point r to satisfy a 98% cycleminus−service level? a. greater than 1,700 unitsb. greater than 1,600 units but less than or equal to 1,700 unitsc. greater than 1,500 units but less than or equal to 1,600 unitsd. less than or equal to 1,500 units

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $65 per share, paid a dividend of $1.45 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $58. a, compute the percentage total return. (a negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.) b. what was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield? (a negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)
