Answer: Infrastructure Challenge.
Explanation:
A major problem in developing countries is insufficient and often damaged infrastructure. There are lack of roads and other mean of access to quite some areas in the country and those routes that do have road networks sometimes see trade still hampered by damage to those road networks.
Sometimes there would be potholes that require careful maneuvering and sometimes the roads would be washed out. In this case Escents is experiencing Dela due to washed-out roads or faulty bridges which are examples of infrastructural damage.
Simply put, Decision making is defined as the process involved in making a decision. It involves comparing alternatives and finding a solution to a problem.
The four styles of decision making are directive, analytical, conceptual and behavioral. Each style is a different method of weighing alternatives and examining solutions.
Kyle prefers to base decisions on lots of data, both objective data from information systems and qualitative data from people - Analytical decision style
Bill prefers simple, clear-cut solutions to problems. - Directive decision style.
Josie likes to talk to people one on one to find out how the decision will affect them - Behavioural decision style.
Answer:
d. Choose Option B because it has a higher NPV
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Option A:
Investment = $10 million
Present Value of cash flows = Cash flow ÷ Discounting rate
= $2 ÷ 10%
= $20 million
Now
NPV = $20 - $10
= $10 million
We know that
IRR is the rate at which the NPV will be zero
So, 2 ÷ r - 10 = 0
r = 20%
For Option B:
Investment = $50 million
Present Value of cash flows = $6.5 ÷ 10% = $65 million
NPV = $65 - $50 = $15 million
we know that
IRR is the rate at which the NPV will be zero
So, 6.5÷ r -50 = 0
r = 13%
Based on NPV, Option B should be selected as it contains higher NPV as compared to option A.
However, Based on IRR, Option A should be chosen as it contains higher IRR and a higher IRR represent a higher profit percentage
The correct answer is that the price elasticity of demand is elastic.
Price elasticity occurs when a change in price results in a change in demand. In this example, a 20 percent increase in the price of the drinks resulted in a 25 percent decrease in the demand for the product. Because the price increase resulted in a demand decrease the price is elastic.
