Answer: Government regulation, Economies of scale

Explanation:

Barriers to entry refers to the restrictions that are imposed on the entry of a new firm or business into the market. These can be,

a). <em>Government regulation</em>- Sometimes the government puts many restrictions on the entry of a new firm. These can be license requirement or by limiting the availability of a resource.

b). <em>Economies of scale</em>- These refer to the efficiency in production that occurs when one firm grows larger in size and is able to cover the entire market at a lower cost than many small firms producing the same good in smaller quantities. The cost of production is lower for a single firm than for many firms.

For the answer tot he questions above, one of the barriers to entry is CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. the financial resources required for infrastructure, machinery, R&D and advertising. Startups may get around capital requirements by outsourcing parts of the operation to companies that can leverage existing investments.
The other one is ACCESS TO DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS. This can be a barrier if logical distribution channels have been locked up by incumbents.

A firm is reviewing an investment opportunity that requires an initial cash outlay of $336,875 and promises to return the follow

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The NPV of this investment is $64,581.75

Explanation:

Hi, we need to discount to present value all the future cash flows, the formula to use is as follows:

$NPV=-Investment+\frac{CF1}{(1+r)^{1} }+\frac{CF2}{(1+r)^{2}} +\frac{CF3}{(1+r)^{3}} +\frac{CF4}{(1+r)^{4}} +\frac{CF5}{(1+r)^{5}}$

Where

NPV = Net Present Value

CF = The cash flow stated in the problem by year

r= discount rate (in our case, 0.08 or 8%)

Now, let´s solve this.

$NPV=-336,875+\frac{100,000}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+\frac{82,000}{(1+0.08)^{2}} +\frac{76,000}{(1+0.08)^{3}} +\frac{111,000}{(1+0.08)^{4}} +\frac{142,000}{(1+0.08)^{5}}$

$NPV=-336,875+ 92,592.59 + 70,301.78 + 60,331.25 + 81,588.31+96,642.81$

$NPV=64,581.75$

So, the net present value of this project is $64,581.75

Best of luck.

iragen [17]

Answer:

Bart Inc.

The initial value of the machine is:

= $114,240.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date of purchase of machine from Fell Corp. = December 31, 2016

Annual payments for a non-interest-bearing note = $20,000

Appropriate present value of the annuity due = 5.712

PV of the annual payments for 8 years = $114,240 ($20,000 * 5.712)

First payment date = December 31, 2016

Period of payments = 8 years

Prevailing interest rate for this type of note = 11%

Check from an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods) 8

I/Y (Interest per year) 11

PMT (Periodic Payment) 20000

FV (Future Value) 0

Results

PV = $114,243.93

Sum of all periodic payments = $160,000.00

Total Interest = $45,756.07
