Answer:

A farmer is the one that owns the cattle and is ready to sell it on the market demand, while the meatpacker is the one who buys the product and sells it in different parts to the end consumers.

Since they both are using the commodity market to reduce the risk, the farmer will be the one who agrees to sell the cattle in the future at a fixed rate, while the meatpacker will be the one who agrees to buy the cattle in the future at a specified price fixed by him.

Hope this helps. ThankYou.

Crockin Corporation is considering a machine that will save $9,000 a year in cash operating costs each year for the next six yea
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

IRR = 16.5%

Explanation:

T<em>he IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero  </em>

<em>If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation  </em>

<em>If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation  </em>

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost

PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years

NPVa  at 10% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000×  1-1.1^-6)/0.1 =   39,197.35  

NPV =    65,328.91 - 33,165 =  6,032.35  

NPVb at 20% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000×  1-1.2^-6)/0.2=  (3,235.41)

NPV = 29,929.59  -33,165 = (3,235.41)

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

IRR = 10% + ( (6,032.35/(6,032.35 +3,235.41) )× (20-10)%= 16.51%

IRR = 16.5%
