Consider how McKnight Valley River Park Lodge could use capital budgeting to decide whether the $ 11 comma 500 comma 000 River P
ark Lodge expansion would be a good investment. Assume McKnight Valley's managers developed the following estimates concerning the expansion: LOADING...(Click the icon to view the estimates.) Assume that McKnight Valley uses the straight-line depreciation method and expects the lodge expansion to have a residual value of $ 950 comma 000 at the end of its ten-year life. The average annual net cash inflow from the expansion is expected to be $ 2 comma 779 comma 548. Compute the payback for the expansion project. Round to one decimal place.
The payback period is the time it takes the project to recover the initial investment required to carry it out.
We are not given any information about the actual yearly revenues and costs, but you give the average net cash flow per year, so we can use that amount to calculate the payback period:
the payback period = total investment / net cash flow = $11,500,000 / $2,779,548 = 4.137 ≈ 4.1 years
A perfect competition is defined by an idealizing market and shows that the market will reach equilibrium.
The prevalence of the perfect competition needs a larger number of buyers and sellers, well defined property rights and homogenous products, profits maximization, rational buyers and no barriers to entry and exit.
<u>An example of the agricultural markets as perfect competition, as there are numerous farmers that sell the same vegetables and fruits and have same prices. Another example is that of the foreign exchange markets was the trader's exchange currencies and sell identical goods.</u>
