A corporation makes an investment of $20,000 that will provide the following cash flows after the corresponding amounts of time:
s344n2d4d5 [400]

A) The company should not invest in the provided project due to the negative NPV of the project.

B) The NPV of the project comes out to be (286).

<h3>What is NPV?</h3>

NPV is an abbreviated form of Net present value and computed by deducting the cash outflows from cash inflows at the present value.

Given values:

Cash flow of year 1: $10,000

Cash flow of year 2: $10,000

Cash flow of year 3: $2,000

Cash outflow (cost of investment) =$20,000

Step-1 Computation of PV of cash inflows of every year:

PV of year 1 = Cash inflow of year 1 / (1+ interest rate)^ 1

                    = $10,000 / (1+0.07) ^ 1

                    = $10,000 X 0.934579

                    = $9,346

PV of year 2 = Cash inflow of year 1 / (1+ interest rate)^ 2

                    = $10,000 / (1+0.07) ^ 2

                    = $10,000 X 0.873438

                    = $8,735

PV of year 3= Cash inflow of year 1 / (1+ interest rate)^ 3

                   = $2,000 / (1+0.07) ^ 2

                    = $2,000 X 0.816297

                    =$1,633

Step-2 Computation of total amount of PV of cash inflows:

\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows = \rm\ PV \rm\  of \rm\  year \rm\  1 + \rm\  PV \rm\ of \rm\ year \rm\ 2 + \rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ year \rm\ 3\\\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows =\$9,346 + \$8,735 + \$1,633\\\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows =\$19,714

Step-3 Computation of NPV:

\rm\ NPV=\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows- \rm\ Cost \rm\ of \rm\ investment\\\rm\ NPV=\$19,714-\$20,000\\\rm\ NPV=\$ (286)

Therefore, the NPV comes out to be a negative amount of 286, and hence, the company should not accept the project.

June 110,000

July 90,000

Desired ending inventory= 15% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.

<u>To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Sales= 70,000

Desired ending inventory= 85,000*0.15= 12,750

Beginning inventory= (10,500)

Total production= 72,250

<u>May:</u>

Sales= 85,000

Desired ending inventory= 110,000*0.15= 16,500

Beginning inventory= (12,750)

Total production= 88,750

<u>June:</u>

Sales= 110,000

Desired ending inventory= 90,000*0.15= 13,500

Beginning inventory= (16,500)

Total production= 107,000

You are the founder of Shadow Skateboards, and you are considering methods of gaining and sustaining a competitive advantage. Wh
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The correct option is A,devoting resources to researching and developing new products that will be more durable than competitors'

Explanation:

Creating sustainable advantage means that the company is able to do something very difficult for competitors to copy.

Sustainable advantage is not about cost reductions,is about a perceived  value added to products or services not seen anywhere else.

If customers upload their designs for the company to produce, it does not necessarily mean the product is fit for purpose, as the company does not have full control over it.
