Solution :
The risk averse is the person who wishes to reduce the uncertainty attached to the money.
Certain income = $2000.
50-50 chance of 1000 and 3000 would income expected income of
(0.5 x 1000) +(0.5 x 3000) = 2000
Both of them gives an equal amount of income while there is uncertainty attached with the second case which makes the risk averse person disincline to follow.
Hence the statement is FALSE.
Assume that the population level in a country is X. 5 percent of the population are likely to get affected by the disease due to which it makes a population of 0.05 X population to be effected by the disease. The population level will cost $38,000, hence making the total healthcare cost to be 1900 X.
Answer:
Project A
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 250,000 1 -250,000
1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40
Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40
IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%
Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144
Project B
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)
1 72,500 0.91 65,975
2 65,500 0.83 54,365
3 73,800 0.75 55,350
4 71,500 0.68 48,620
5 69,800 0.62 43,276
6 75,500 0.56 42,280
7 31,000 0.51 15,810
8 47,500 0.47 22,325
9 55,500 0.42 23,310
10 29,200 0.38 11,096
Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407
IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%
On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.
b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure

Answer:
Effect on income= $140 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Production costs:
Direct material= 10
Direct labor= 1.2
Variable overhead= $1.5
Selling price= $12
Number of units= 200
<u>Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs. </u>
Effect on income= Units sold*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 200*(12 - 10 - 1.2 - 1.5)
Effect on income= $140 decrease
