Answer:
d. Constraint
Explanation:
The dependent variable variations are explained as an effect, due to variations in causal independent variables. The dependent variable might be in form of an objective function, as a function of independent variables, which needs to be maximised or minimised. Constraint is a limitation to the objective function maximisation / minimisation.
Given case : Introducing product in new markets (through telemarketers) & conducting research about success of sales efforts - has 'Sales' as the main objective function to be maximised, dependent on independent variable like Telemarketers . Constraint could be any restriction in form of budget , time (six months time mentioned)
Answer:
D. Any advantage that one firm has will be short-lived.
Explanation:
With the three firms all producing the same product with similar resources in their production and distribution of their products, any advantage that a firm has over the others if any would not last long at all. This is because each firm is using similar technique in the same location. Hence, there's nothing special about one of the firms over the others.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the payback period for each investment is shown below;
For Option 1
= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow
= $280,000 ÷ $134,569
= 2.081 Year
Here Annual cash inflow is
= Net income + Depreciation
= $80,769 + (($280,000 - $11,000) ÷ 5)
= $134,569
For Option-2
= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow
= $200,000 ÷ $70,429
= 2.84 Year
Here Annual cash inflow is
= Net income + Depreciation
= $44,000 + (($200,000 - $15,000) ÷ 7)
= $70,429
Answer:
B) IRR is 3%. Reject the project.
Explanation:
We can use an excel spreadsheet to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for this investment:
we can use the IRR function =IRR(values,[guess])
where:
- value 1 = -238160
- value 2 to 6 = 52000
- guess = optional, not required
=IRR(-238160,52000,52000,52000,52000,52000) = 3%
