Explanation:
Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
<span>The marginal product of labor eventually slopes downward due to the law of diminishing marginal productivity. The law of diminishing marginal productivity is a principle within economics. This principle states even if you increase input in one area and keep the others the same, output does increase, there will be limited effect and eventually balance back out resulting in no effect on the output. </span>
