I Problem 22:
Global Enterprises is considering a new 5-year project that will require $872,000 for new fixed assets,
$210,000 for inventory, and $80,000 for accounts receivable. Short-term debt is expected to increase by
$140,000. The fixed assets will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's life. At the end of the
project, the fixed assets are expected to be sold for 30 percent of their original cost, and the net working
capital will return to its original level. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the initial cost of this project?

a framing bias

step-by-step explanation:

rodrigo is subject to a framing bias i believe.

4x and 6y

im not sure though

attachment?

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
