Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
Answer:
The answer would be PRICE SIGNALING
Explanation:
Price signaling may occur when consumers have imperfect information about product quality. To infer quality, consumers may rely on previous experience or may use some of the product’s observable characteristics, such as the product’s price. We examine the scenario whereby the firm can endogenously change consumers’ beliefs about the product’s quality by altering both the price and quality of its product. Our main findings are that, in this type of setting, price signaling causes the firm to raise its price, lower its quality, and dampen the degree to which it responds to cost shocks. If the cost of adjusting quality is sufficiently high, the dampening effect is pronounced in the downward direction, meaning that price signaling causes prices to respond less to cost decreases than cost increases.
Answer: C.) Horizontal sum of all the individual firm's supply curve
Explanation: A perfectly competitive market, is that in which sellers or suppliers of a certain product are numerous such that a slight increase in price, and demand could fall to 0. Here, an individual seller has no control over the price of commodities. The supply curve tells how much quantity will be produced at different prices. Therefore the market supply curve is determined by all individual sellers individual price in other to determine the overall quantity to be produced at varying market price. Prices are drawn horizontally from the y-axis to determine quantity produced at different prices for each indivudual seller which is summed to generate the market supply curve.
Answer:
A monopsony is market where there is only one buyer, e.g. the government is the sole buyer for nuclear submarines in the US.
The demand curve of a monopsony is similar to the demand curve of any other type of market, i.e. it is downward sloping. Since there is only 1 buyer, the demand curve is also the supply curve. If the monopsonist wants to increase the quantity demanded at a lower price, the supplier (or suppliers) must be able to lower its costs and that generally results in lower labor costs.
