Lagoon has two food stores Buck's and Combo's. It costs $1 to make one of Buck's bread loaves and $2 to make one of Combo's chee

se rounds. Let P1 denote Buck's price and P2 denote Combo's price per product. Let Q1 and Q2 denote the demand for each store's product. The store's demands are given by:
Q1 = 14 - P1 - 0.5P2,
Q2 = 19 - 0.5P1 - P2
a. Are the store's products substitutes or complements? How do you know?
b. Write the profit function for Buck's in terms of P1 and P2. Write the profit function for Combo's in terms of P1 and P2.

Answer:

a. Complements

b. X(P_1,P_2) =-P_1^2-P_2^2-P_1P_2+16P_1+21.5P_2-52

Explanation:

a. Analyzing the demand equations for both products, a negative relationship between demand and price can be observed for both goods. This means that an increase in price for the cheese rounds causes a decrease in demand for bread, while an increase in price for bread causes a decrease in demand for cheese rounds. This relationship is exhibited when goods are complements.

b. The profit from each store is given by:

X_1 = Q_1*(P_1-\$1)\\X_2 = Q_2*(P_1-\$2)

Total profit is given by:

X_1 =(14-P_1 - 0.5P_2)*(P_1-\$1)\\X_1=14P_1-P_1^2 - 0.5P_1P_2-14+P_1 + 0.5P_2\\X_2 = (19 - 0.5P_1 - P_2)*(P_2-\$2)\\X_2=19P_2-0.5P_1P_2-P_2^2-38+P_1+2P_2\\X(P_1,P_2) =X_1+X_2\\X(P_1,P_2) =-P_1^2-P_2^2-P_1P_2+16P_1+21.5P_2-52

Korolek [52]

Answer:

$12.50

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Annual dividend next year = $0.75

Growth rate = 4%

Required rate of return = 10%

So by considering the above information, the price of the share is

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

= $0.75 ÷ (10% - 4%)

= ($0.75) ÷ (6%)

= $12.50

Hence we considered all the information which is given in the question

Maxwell Feed & Seed is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a p
Kay [80]

Answer:

13.31%

Explanation:

some information is missing:

Year        Cash flows

0              −$1,100

1                  $450

2                 $470

3                 $490

the easiest way to calculate the IRR is by using a financial calculator, IRR = 13.31%

but if we don't have one at hand, the IRR is the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0

1,100 = 450/(1 + r) + 470/(1 + r)² + 490/(1 + r)³

to simplify the formula we must use trial and error:

since we already know the real IRR, I will start with a close number like 10%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.1) + 470/(1 + 0.1)² + 490/(1 + 0.1)³

1,100 = 409.09 + 388.43 + 368.14

1,100 ≠ 1,165.66

since the NPV is still positive, we must increase the discount rate. following the example we can use 12%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.12) + 470/(1 + 0.12)² + 490/(1 + 0.12)³

1,100 = 401.79 + 374.68 + 348.77

1,100 ≠ 1,125.24

we must increase the discount rate even more to 13%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.13) + 470/(1 + 0.13)² + 490/(1 + 0.13)³

1,100 = 398.23 + 368.08 + 339.59

1,100 ≠ 1,105.90

we keep increasing the discount rate to 14%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.14) + 470/(1 + 0.14)² + 490/(1 + 0.14)³

1,100 = 394.74 + 361.65 + 330.74

1,100 ≠ 1,087.13

since now the NPV is negative, the discount rate must be between 13-14%

we continue this way until we finally reach 13.31%
