Answer:

1. 4 years

2. No

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of time to recoup the total investment made on a project. It calculates how long the cash flows generated from a project would cover the cost of the project.

The cost of the project is $500,000

Cash flows are $125,000 per year for 10 years.

In the first year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $375,000.

In the second year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $250,000.

In the third year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $125,000.

In the fourth year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $0.

The cost of the project is totally recouped in the 4th year. therefore, the payback period is 4 years.

But the company has a preferred payback period of 3 years ,therefore , the firm won't undertake the project because the payback period is more than 3 years.

Mugs Café sells 1000 cups of coffee per week if it does not advertise. For every $50 spent in advertising per week, it sells an
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

1,300 cups

Explanation:

This can be solved as follows:

Question "a"

y = a + bx ................................................. (1)

Where,

y = number of cups of coffee sold per week

x = number of times b is multiplied based on the amount spent on adverts

amount spent on advertising per week

a = fixed cups of coffee per week without advertising = 1,000 cups

b = extra quantity sold when $50 is spent on advertisement = 150 cups

If the available figures above are substituted into equation (1), we will have the linear function as follows:

y = 1000 + 150x ................................................. (2)

Equation (2) is the linear function required.

Question "b"

If $100 per week is spent on advertising, we can get X by dividing it by $50 as follows:

x = $100 ÷ $50 = 2

Substituting 2 for x in equation (2), we can calculate y as follows:

y = 1000 + 150(2)

  = 1000 + 300

  = 1,300 cups.

Therefore, 1,300 cups of coffee are expected to be sold per week by Mugs Café if it spends $100 per week on advertising.

I wish you the best.
