Answer: d. employ less capital and more labor.

Explanation: Given the marginal product of labor equals 10 and a marginal product of capital equals 50, since the marginal product of capital is now considerably larger than that of labor, increasing labor should be prioritized at this point, because due to the marginal returns on capital may soon start to diminish especially with the high capital rate. And also, high capital rate of $100, which is considerably higher than the labor wage rate of $20, the firm should employ less capital and focus more on labor

Suppose China exports TVs and uses the yuan as its currency, whereas Russia exports vodka and uses the ruble. China has a stable
Damm [24]

Answer:

The real exchange rate would result in a growth of the relative price of Chinese TVs over the price of Russian Vodka.

This is because Chinese TVs are becoming more technologically advanced, increasing both their nominal and real value, while Russian Vodka is being produced en masse, but without technological progress, decreasing both its nominal and real value.

The nominal exchange rate would result in the ruble depreciating strongly against the Yuan.

The quick growth of money supply in Russia means inflation, and this added to the loss of value of the Vodka exports, results in the decrease of nominal value for the ruble against the Yuan, which has a moderate growth in money supply (meaning moderate inflation), and benefits from the exports of a good that is appreciating (the Chinese TVs).

Olegator [25]

Answer:

It should obtain at least:  $  17,363,986.04

Explanation:

we have several cash flow of different magnitude. As thisi s a finite sum of cash flow, we solve using present value of each lump sum using our WACC as discount rate:

\frac{Nominal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

\frac{8,500,000}{(1 + 0.15)^{1} } = PV

\frac{7,500,000}{(1 + 0.15)^{2} } = PV

\frac{5,000,000}{(1 + 0.15)^{3} } = PV

\frac{2,000,000}{(1 + 0.15)^{4} } = PV

\frac{500,000}{(1 + 0.15)^{5} } = PV

Year      Nominal Cash Flow Present Value

1   8,500,000.00      7,391,304.35

2   7,000,000.00    5,293,005.67

3   5,000,000.00       3,287,581.16

4   2,000,000.00      1,143,506.49

5      500,000.00       248,588.37

Total Present value  17,363,986.04
