Dragonfly, inc. is evaluating two possible investments in depreciable plant assets. the company uses the straightminusline method of depreciation. the following information is available: investment a investment b initial capital investment $ 105 comma 000 $ 158 comma 000 estimated useful life 10 years 10 years estimated residual value 0 $ 20 comma 000 estimated annual net cash inflow for 10 years $ 30 comma 000 $ 42 comma 000 required rate of return 12% 12% calculate the payback period for investment a. (round your answer to two decimal places.)

3.5 years

Explanation:

Investment A:

Initial capital investment = $105,000

Estimated useful life = 10 years

Estimated residual value = 0

Estimated annual net cash inflow for 10 years = $30,000

Required rate of return = 12%

Year                 Cash Flow                Accumulated Cash flow

  0                     -$105,000                         -$105,000

  1                        $30,000                          -$75,000

  2                       $30,000                         -$45,000

  3                        $30,000                         -$15,000

  4                        $30,000                           $15,000

Hence, at the end of 4th year the accumulated cash flow become positive. Therefore,

The pay back period for investment A = 3 +

                                                               = 3 + 0.5

                                                               = 3.5 years

i really hope this answer you out! it makes my day people like you and giving back to the community that has me through school! if you could do me a favor, if this you and this is the very best answer and you understand that all of my answers are legit and top notch. mark as brainliest! and have a awesome day!

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
