Answer:

$71,350

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A farmer has been given the opportunity to become a part owner in a local fertilizer business. If the farmer becomes an owner of the fertilizer business, he will receive $4,000 each year from the firm's profits. In addition, the farmer will receive a discount on fertilizer and he believes the discount will reduce his fertilizer costs by $2,000 per year. The farmer plans to retire in 25 years and thinks he can sell his equity in the fertilizer business for $50,000.

Calculate the market value of this investment if the market rate of return on comparable investments is 8%

The market value can be found by calculating the present value of the cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow each year from year one to twenty four = $4000+$2000=$6000

Cash flow in year twenty five = $6000 + $50,000 = $56,000

I = 8%

Present value = $71,350

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx

Explanation:

Eco Scenario    Dividend     Stock Price  HPR    Prob     Expected HPR

Boom                         3                 60         26        0.33        8.58

Normal                       1.2               58        18.4       0.33       6.072

Recession                  0.75            49        (0.5)      0.33      <u> (0.165)</u>

              Expected HPR                                                       14.49%

<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>

                                      (A)                     (B)           (A) - (B)  

P_{1}          P_{0}       D_{1}       Given return   Exp return       d          p           p.d^{2}

60        50      3            26                     14.49         11.51       0.33      43.718    

58        50      1.2          18.4                   14.49         3.91       0.33      5.045

49        50      0.75      (0.5)                    14.49        14.99     0.33      <u> 74.15</u>

                                                                                         Total p.d^{2} =  122.91

wherein, d = deviation

               p = probability

               Standard Deviation = \sqrt{Total\ p.d^{2} }  = \sqrt{122.91} = 11.08  

<u></u>

<u>Working Note</u>:

Holding period return = \frac{P_{1}\ -\ P_{0} \ +\ D_{1}  }{P_{0} }

Boom = \frac{60\ -\ 50 \ +\ 3  }{50 }   = 26%

Similarly, for normal = \frac{58\ -\ 50 \ +\ 1.2  }{50 }  = 18.4%

Recession = \frac{49\ -\ 50 \ +\ 0.75  }{50}  = (0.5)%

figure in bracket indicates negative return

A perfectly competitive firm, with MC=q operates in a market character,zed by the following market demand and supply conditions:
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Since a perfectly competitive firm must accept the price for its output as determined by the product’s market demand and supply, it cannot choose the price it charges. Rather, the perfectly competitive firm can choose to sell any quantity of output at exactly the same price. This implies that the firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve for its product: buyers are willing to buy any number of units of output from the firm at the market price. When the perfectly competitive firm chooses what quantity to produce, then this quantity—along with the prices prevailing in the market for output and inputs—will determine the firm’s total revenue, total costs, and ultimately, level of profits.
