Answer:

a. NO

Explanation:

In this question we have to find out the net preset value which is shown below:

= Present value of all annual cash inflows after implementation of discount factor - initial investment  

where,  

The Initial investment is $300 million

All yearly cash flows would be

= Annual net cash flows × PVIFA for 20 years at 13%  

= $40 million  × 7.0248

= $280.992 million

Refer to the PVIFA table

So, the net present value would be

= $280.992 million - $300 million

= -$19.008 million

Since the net present value comes in negative, so the wansley should not purchase the paper company

Indiana Co. bega n a construction project in 2018 with a contract price of $150 million to receive when the project completed in
Liula [17]

Answer: C) Recognized $9 million gross profit on the project in 2018.

Explanation:

Duration of construction project from 2018 to 2020 = 3 years

Cost incurred by Indiana co. in 2018 = $36 million

Estimated additional cost for the remainder of the project = $84 million

Total cost to be incurred over the duration of the project = $36 million + $84 million = $120 million

To calculate the percentage of the project completed, we use the cost figures;

Cost incurred so far (in 2018) ÷ Total cost to be incurred × 100

36,000,000/ 120,000,000 × 100 = 30%

Total revenue from contract (which is the contract price) = $150 million

Indiana Co. recognizes revenue according to the percentage of the project completed. Therefore, revenue recognized after 30% of the project is completed (which is the revenue for 2018) = 30% of $150,000,000

Revenue for 2018 = 30/100 × 150,000,000 = $45,000,000

Profit recognized on the project in 2018 = Revenue for 2018 - Cost incurred in 2018

Profit = $45,000,000 - $36,000,000

Gross profit recognized in 2018 = $9,000,000

A perfectly elastic demand curve means that the firm can sell as much output as it chooses at the current price.

Explanation:

The perfectly elastic demand implies that the demand curve is horizontal line parallel to the X axis. The price is fixed at a point and the firm can sell any amount of output at this point. The demand is infinite at the given price level. If the firm makes any changes in this price level, the demand will become zero.
