Answer:

The IRR is 10%.

Explanation:

a) Calculation of Internal Rate of Return (IRR):

We choose a discount rate, say 10% and use it to discount the cash flows to their present values.  If the net present value (NPV) of all the cash flows equals zero, then that discount rate is accepted as the IRR.

b) Without 10% discount rate, the discount factors are for:

1st year = 1.1 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 1

2nd year = 1.21 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 2

3rd year = 1.331 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 3

c) These discount factors will divide the cash inflows for each year:

1st year, NPV = $15,364/1.1 = $13,967.27

2nd year, NPV = $15,364/1.21 = $12,697.52

3rd year, NPV = $15,364/1.331 = $11,543.20

Total NPV of inflows                 = $38,209 approximately

NPV of outflows                         -$38,209

NPV of inflows and outflows      $0

So, the IRR is 10%.

IRR is a capital budgeting metric to measure profitability by using a discount rate which makes the net present value of all cash flows to become zero.  To get a suitable rate, trial and error is involved, or one can make use of educated best guess.

Gemiola [76]

Answer: Gross pay- $1750.00

Net pay - $1,215.75

Explanation: Gross pay = Nomal time =$28*40= $1,120. Overtime = $28*1.5*15= $630 Total= $1,750

Net pay = $1,750 less Security tax, Medicare tax, federal income tax withheld.

= $1,215.75

If the quantity supplied by producers is relatively insensitive to price changes, supply is ______. Multiple choice question.
luda_lava [24]

If the quantity supplied by producers is relatively insensitive to price changes, supply is price inelastic.

Inelastic demand is demand for which the change in quantity demanded is small due to changes in price. Demand is elastic if the formula yields an absolute value greater than 1. In other words, quantity changes faster than price. If the value is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

For example, consumers are less price relatively insensitive if the product or service is unique or has few alternatives. Consumers are less price sensitive when total costs are low relative to total revenues. The total effort compared to the total cost of the final product also influences price sensitivity.
