Answer:

The Company should undertake project A.

Explanation:

The finance of projects is usually done through pooling of funds, that is using <em>various sources</em> of finance. The WACC represents the return required by providers of this finance and also shows the risk of the company.

A company will always<em> accept projects</em> that provide a return higher that their weighted average cost of capital (risk) and r<em>eject any project</em> offering a return below the WACC.

Conclusion :

The Company should undertake project A as this gives a return higher than the WACC of 8.5%.

16) When supply is fixed or the product is unique, then price is A) supply determined. B) demand determined. C) government deter
Rudiy27

Answer: B) demand determined.

Explanation:

If the supply of a good is fixed or the product is of a unique kind, the price of the good will be determined by the amount of demand for it.

Normally supply can change based on the quantity demanded which will impact prices but if the supply is definite, this means that the supply curve is inelastic and the only curve that can affect price therefore is the demand curve.

If more people demand the good, it will increase in price and if less people demand it, it will fall in price.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Option A is the cheapest.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The engineering department estimates costs of $450,000 for the first year. It is estimated that if process and plant alterations are made, the waste treatment cost will decline $43,000 each year. As an alternative, a specialized firm, Hydro-Clean, has offered a contract to process the waste liquids for 15 years for $225,000 per year.

We need to use the following formula and chose the smallest net present value:

NPV= Io +∑ [Cf/(1+i)^n]

Option A:

Io= 407,000

Year cost= 43,000

NPV= 734,061

Option B:

Yearly cost= 225,000

NPV= 1,936,368

A company borrowed $40,000 cash from the bank and signed a 6-year note at 7% annual interest. The present value of an annuity fa
Nat2105 [25]

Answer: $8,391.90

Explanation:

So the company borrowed $40,000 from a bank.

They are to pay 7% interest on the note per year for 6 years.

We are to find the annual payments.

7% represents a constant payment schedule per year so we can use an Annuity formula.

Seeing as the Annuity factor has been calculated for us already we don't need to formula though.

The present value of an annuity factor for 6 years at 7% is 4.7665.

Calculating the present value of the annual payment can be done as follows,

= Amount / PVIFA (Present Value Interest Factor for an Annuity)

= 40,000/4.7665

= 8391.90181475

= $8,391.90

The annual payments equal $8,391.90.
