Answer:
price of wheat to increase, the supply of bread to decrease, and the demand for potatoes to increase.
Explanation:
A drought will reduce the supply of wheat thereby causing the supply curve to shift upwards (to the left) leading to an increase in the price of wheat. Since wheat is a basic ingredient in producing bread, an increase in the price of wheat will increase the cost of producing bread. An increase in cost of producing bread will reduce the supply of bread, shifting the supply curve to the right.
Potatoes and bread are close substitutes and therefore, have a competitive demand. An increase in the price of bread will increase the demand for potatoes because rational consumers will opt for a cheaper alternative considering their money income.
Answer:
A. NPV for A= $61,658.06
NPV for B = $25,006.15
B. 1.36
1.17
Project A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator
for project A :
Cash flow in
Year 0 = $(172,325)
Year 1 41,000
Year 2 47,000
Year 3 85,295
Year 4 86,400
Year 5 56,000
I = 10%
NPV = $61,658.06
for project B
year 0 = $ (145,960)
Cash flow in
Year 1 27,000
Year 2 52,000
Year 3 50,000
Year 4 71,000
Year 5 28,000
I = 10%
NPV = $25,006.15
profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment
for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36
For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17
The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
A. National income must equal domestic product.
True.
Explanation:
National Income is the total value of goods and services produced in a country during a financial period. It is total income from a country's economic activities.
Domestic product is monetary value of all economic activities of a country during a period.
National Income is sum of Investments, Savings, Government expenditures and net exports. National Income equals the domestic products of a country. The equation is as follows:
C + I + G + (X - IM) = DI + NT.
The statement given is true. Disposable income equals the saving plus consumption. The excess of disposable income which is not consumed is saved. Sum of saving and consumption must equal Disposable income in an economy.
It’s difficult for companies to market their movies since many people aren’t visiting theatres with Delata variant going on. Companies like Disney/Marvel recognise this and teased their “Black Widow”movie to Disney plus for people who refused to go to the theatres.
Answer:
consumer surplus = $3.5
producer surplus = $2
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Jeff's consumer surplus = $7 - $6 = $1
Samir's consumer surplus = $8.50 - $6 = $2.50
total consumer surplus = $1 + $2.50 = $3.50
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
Manufacturer 1's producer surplus = $6 - $4.5 = $1.50
Manufacturer 2's producer surplus = $6 - $5.50 = $0.50
total producer surplus = $1.50 + 0.50 = $2
