Answer: Menu cost

Explanation:

Menu cost is the cost to a firm due to constant price changes. The name was coined from restaurants who changed their prices constantly by printing new menus.

For a wider definition, the menu costs also include the re-tagging of items, updating of computer systems, and hiring consultants in order to develop new pricing strategies and the costs of printing menus.

Answer:

A) menu costs

Explanation:

The problem with inflation, is that it is hard to keep up with it. From an employees point of view, wages are sticky and unless your salary is updated very frequently, you will end up losing purchasing power due to inflation. For businesses things are also difficult, because prices are also sticky. They are not as sticky as wages, but it also costs money to keep updating prices constantly and it also hurts sales.

This is exactly what menu costs refer to, the cost of constantly changing and updating prices.

Answer:

E. Yes: The MIRR is 9.13 percent.

Explanation:

<em>The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 4.  </em>

Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 5 - n)

                                 = $107,500 x (1.134) ^ 3 + $196,100 x (1.134) ^ 2 + $104,500 x (1.134) ^ 1 + -$92,700 x (1.134) ^ 0  

                                 = $156,764.47 + $252,175,97 + $118,503 - $92,700  

                                 = $434,743.44

<em>The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator : </em>

- $287,500 CFj

0           CFj

0          CFj

0            CFj

$434,743.44   CFj

Shift IRR/Yr 9.13%

Therefore, the MIRR is 9.13% .
