Answer:

<h2>In this case,the answer would be option D. or It can be a source of competitive advantage for a period of time.</h2>

Explanation:

  • In Production Economics,any organizational input in the production process can provide competitive advantage to any firm or company for a sustainable period of time only if it provides commercial or economic value to the firm or company,it is unique and it cannot be completely imitable or substituted through other equivalent resource/s by other market competitors.
  • Therefore,if any organization resource or input is easily imitated then it cannot ensure long term or sustainable competitive advantage for any firm or company in the market.
  • However,it can provide some temporary market advantage or competitive edge to any particular firm or company until the time it is fully imitated and implemented by its competitors or rivals.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

i. Discounted cashflow equations.

a.  $180,000 at the end of five years.

This is a lump sum present value/ discounted cashflow which can be calculated as;

Formula = 180,000 / ( 1 + r)^n

= 180,000/ ( 1 + 12%)^5

= $102,136.83

b. $11,400 a year forever

This is a perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow of a perpetuity is calculated as;

Formula = Amount/rate

= 11,400/12%

= $95,000

c. $19,000 for each of 10 years.

This is an annuity. The formula for calculating the Present value/ discounted cashflow of an annuity is;

Formula = Annuity * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + i)^{-n} )}{i} ] where <em>i </em>is interest rate and <em>n</em> is number of periods

= 19,000 * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-10} )}{0.12} ]

= $107,354.24

d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever.

This is a growing perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow formula is;

= Amount / ( discount rate - growth rate)

= 6,500 / ( 12% - 5%)

= $92,857.14

ii. Choose <u>$19,000 for each of 10 years</u> as it has the highest present value.
