Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$4,650,000,000

Explanation:

We will use the formula below to calculate the enterprise value of Correct inc.

Enterprise value = Market value capital and debts - Cash and investments

= 100 million diluted shares × 37.50 per share + $1 billion of debt outstanding - $100 million cash

= $3750m + $1000m - $100m

= $4,650,000,000.

Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C = 200

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

1. 20 units

2. $600

Explanation:

1. $C = 200 + 2q^{2}$

MC = 4q

Price, P = $80

For maximizing profits,

Marginal cost = Price of the commodity

4q = 80

q = 20 units

$C = 200 + 2q^{2}$

$C = 200 + 2(20)^{2}$

= 200 + 800

= 1,000

2. Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

= (Price × Quantity) - TC

= (80 × 20) - $1,000

= $1,600 - $1,000

= $600

3. We know that the firm in the short run will be produce at a point where total revenue is greater than the total variable cost

Average variable cost = variable cost ÷ quantity

$=\frac{2Q^{2}}{Q}$

= 2Q

MC = 4Q

Here, MC is greater than AVC at any given point.

so in the short run firm will producing short run positive profit.

Tangshan Mining Company, with a cost of capital of 10 percent, is considering investing in project A, with an initial investm

alexdok [17]

Answer:

the breakeven cash inflow for the project is $131474

Explanation:

given data

cost of capital = 10 percent

initial investment = $1,000,000

useful life = 15 year

to find out

the breakeven cash inflow for the project

solution

first we consider here annual cash inflows that is = x

now break even point is the one at which the net present value of the project = 0

so we can say that here

Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows = 0 .................1

here we know Present value of cash inflows = x × PVAF ( 10%,15 years)

Present value of cash inflows = x × 7.6060

put value in equation 1 we get

x × 7.6060 - $1,000,000 = 0

solve and we get x

x = $\frac{1,000,000}{7.6060}$

x = $131474

so the breakeven cash inflow for the project is $131474

Toby’s current marginal utility from consuming peanuts is 100 utils per ounce and his marginal utility from consuming cashews is

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a. Toby is not maximizing his utility

b. Toby should reduce his spending on cashew and increase his spending on peanuts.

Explanation:

a. Is Toby maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? If so, explain how you know.

Toby will maximize his utility when we have:

MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc

Where;

MUp/Pp = Marginal utility of peanut divided by price of peanut = 100/10 = 10

MUc/Pc = Marginal utility of cashew divided by price of cash = 200/25 = 8

From the above, Toby is not maximizing his utility. I am able to know this because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8). An Toby will only maximize his utility when MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.

b. If not, how should he rearrange his spending?

Since MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8), Toby should reduce his spending on cashew in order to increase MUc and increase his spending on peanuts reduce MUp until MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.
