Answer:

the payback period = 4.86 years

Explanation:

Seattle's cash flows are as following:

Year                Cash flow                         Accumulated cash flows

0                     -$150,000                                -$150,000

1                         $30,000                                -$120,000

2                        $30,000                                 -$90,000

3                        $30,000                                 -$60,000

4                        $30,000                                 -$30,000

5                        $35,000                                    $5,000

6                        $35,000                                  $40,000

etc.

The payback period is between year 4 and 5:

  • 4 years + ($30,000 / $35,000) = 4.86 years or
  • year 4 + [($30,000 / $35,000) x 365 days] = 4 years and 313 days

Suppose a monopolist discovers a way to perfectly price-discriminate. Under this scenario, consumer surplus is . What are the ef
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is: zero; zero.

Explanation:

If a monopolist discovers a way to perfectly discriminate, it means that the monopolist will charge equal to the willingness to pay from each consumer.

The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay and the price it actually pays.

Since each consumer is paying price equal to its willingness to pay, the consumer surplus will be zero.

There will be no efficiency costs. The monopolist will sell output where the maximum price the consumer is willing to pay is equal to or greater than the marginal cost. So all efficient trades will occur, there will be no efficiency costs.

The consumer price index (CPI) and the producer price index (PPI) actually measure the same economic factors.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The statement is False.

Explanation:

First lets see what CPI and PPI are.

Consumer price index measures the change in the average prices of consumer goods and Services. The weighted average price of a selected consumer market is used for this.

Producers price index measures the changes in the prices of the output produced by the domestic producers.

However, there are certain factors that these 2 indices include and do not include.

  • CPI includes the sales and taxes paid for the products and services as they influence the consumers. however, PPI does not take in the sales and taxes.
  • PPI is somewhat broader than the CPI: PPI considers the change in average prices of producers in USA while CPI only take in to account the goods and services consumed by the US Urban consumers.
  • Because it is aimed at the consumers, CPI includes Imports. However, PPI does not include Imports.
