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
Answer:
Equilibrium price to be indeterminate from the information given, but equilibrium quantity to rise.
Explanation:
The recent rains resulted in an increase in demand for kayaks so the equillibrum quantity demanded will rise. Supply will also rise to meet the increased demand.
However we are unable to determine if the price will rise or fall with the given information.
Plastic is cheaper now so kayaks will also be cheaper. On the other hand increase in demand naturally causes an increase in price. So the cheaper price of kayaks will need to be compared with price increases as a result of increased demand to determine if equillibrum price will rise or fall.
