Answer:

a) MOVEMENT ALONG THE CURVE

b) MOVEMENT ALONG THE CURVE

c) SHIFT TO THE LEFT

d) MOVEMENT ALONG THE CURVE

Explanation:

There is a MOVEMENT ALONG THE CURVE when there is a variation in the price of the good.

On the other hand, there is a SHIFT when any of the variables other than the price of the good changes (for example: the income of the consumers, the tastes of the consumers, the prices of related goods -substitutes or complementary-, the size of the market). When the curve shifts to the left this indicates a decrease in demand. When it moves to the right it indicates an increase in demand.  

a) A drought hits corn-growing regions, cutting the supply of corn. MOVEMENT ALONG THE CURVE. The decrease of the offer will cause an increase in the price, and consequently a decrease in the quantity demanded.

b) The government announces a new subsidy for biofuels made from corn. MOVEMENT ALONG THE CURVE. As a result of the subsidy, the demand for corn by biofuel manufacturers will increase, which will cause an increase in the price of corn, and consequently a decrease in consumer demand.

c) A global recession reduces the incomes of consumers in poor countries, who rely on corn as a staple food (assuming corn is a normal good). A SHIFT TO THE LEFT IN THE DEMAND CURVE. The reduction of income will cause a decrease in demand.

d) A new hybrid variety of corn seed causes a 15 percent increase in the yield of corn per acre. MOVEMENT ALONG THE CURVE. Corn supply increases and consequently the price decreases, which causes an increase in demand.

X-treme Vitamin Company is considering two investments, both of which cost $10,000. The cash flows are as follows:Year Project A
liq [111]

Answer:

A) Project A = 0.83 year

B) NPV of Project B = $14,609.66

C) Answer B

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Payback period = Last year with negative cumulative cash flows + (Absolute value of last year's cumulative cash flow ÷ Cash flow of the following year's negative cumulative cash flow)

Or, Payback period = A + ( B ÷ C)

                             Project A                                       Project B

Year   Cash Flow   Cumulative Cash Flow    Cash Flow  Cumulative Cash Flow

0 (A)   -$10,000      -$10,000 (B)                     -$10,000        -$10,000 (B)

1           $12,000 (C)      2,000                           $10,000(C)                 0

2              8,000         10,000                               6,000             6,000

3              6,000         16,000                              16,000           22,000

Payback period for project A = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 12,000) = 0 + 0.833 = 0.83 year

Payback period for project B = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 10,000) = 0 + 1 = 1 year

X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project A because it can return the investment earlier than project B.

Requirement B

We can use excel to find the Net Present Value for both the projects with a cost of capital of 10%.

The following image shows the NPV for project A and B.

From the calculation of NPV, X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project B as that project yields more present cash flows.

Requirement C

A firm should generally have more confidence in answer b because money can produce more logical sense than a year. Yes, it is easy to understand how many years a company will need to get back its cash flow. Still, the present value of cash flows provides a more specific evaluation of how to utilize the initial investment.

The aggregate quantity of goods and services demanded changes as the price level rises because
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

The aggregate quantity of goods and services demanded changes as the price level rises because real wealth falls causing interest rates to rise, and this in term causes the dollar to appreciate since the interest rates are for products and services within the country and not foreign goods or services. Which as the dollar appreciates it means that foreign goods and services will become cheaper or that their relative price will fall.

aliina [53]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing cost= $287,000

Useful life= 8 years

Estimated residual value= $37,400

To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (287,000 - 37,400) / 8

Annual depreciation= $31,200

<u>Depreciation remains constant during the useful life of the asset.</u>

We can calculate exactly the annual depreciation for the first year.

Year 1= (31,200/365)*360= $30,772.60
