Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is presented in the attachment below:
For project A, the net present value is $91,771.53 and for project B, the net present value is $79,390.69
It is computed after considering the discounting factor that comes from
= 1 ÷ (1 + discount rate)^number of years
for year 1, it is
= 1 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
The same applied for the remaining years
Answer:
option (c) $600
Explanation:
Given:
Tax = $4 per unit
Initial equilibrium quantity = 2,000 units
Final equilibrium quantity = 1,700 units
Decrease in consumer surplus = $3,000
Decrease in consumer surplus = $4,400
Now,
Deadweight Loss is calculated using the formula:
Deadweight loss
= × Tax × (Original equilibrium quantity - New equilibrium quantity)
on substituting the respective values, we get
Deadweight loss = × 4 × (2,000 - 1,700)
or
Deadweight loss = 2 × (3) = $600
Hence,
the correct answer is option (c) $600
