Answer:

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

Explanation:

<em>To determine whether or not the investment was right, we will need to determine the net present value of the investment (NPV). </em>

<em>The NPV is the difference between the present value PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite. </em>

NPV of an investment(NPV)

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow

The cash inflow is an annuity.

PV of annuity= A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r

A- Annual cash flow ,- 23,400 r - discount rate - 8%, number of years- 3

Present Value of cash inflow =23,400 × (1- (1.08)^(-3)/0.08 = 60,304.06

Initial cost = 57,000

Net Present Value = 60,304.06 - 57,000 = 3,304.069

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

<em>Kindly note that a discount rate of 8% was used as it is the opportunity cost of capital for the investment.</em>

If the price of a product increases, the demand for the resource used in producing that product decreases.
valentina_108 [34]

Economists call this the law of demand. As the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded decreases (but the demand itself remains the same). If the price falls, the quantity demanded will increase.

Resource Prices – Rising resource prices lead to a decrease in supply or a leftward shift in the supply curve. Falling resource prices lead to an increase in supply or a rightward shift in the supply curve.

An increase in demand shifts the demand curve to the right and a decrease in supply shifts the supply curve to the left.

A decrease in demand leads to a decrease in the equilibrium price. Less quantity to deliver. An increase in supply leads to a  product decrease in the equilibrium price, all other things being equal. Demand increases.

Identify the characteristics that have enabled Singapore to become one of the world’s most prosperous nations. Correct Answer(s)
ella [17]

Answer:

The answers are : Stable financial system; Strategic location; High literacy rate.

Explanation:

Singapore is a small island, highly populated country without much natural resources and little resources are paid to agricultural sector and energy sector thus lack of self-sufficiency in regard to water, food (due to limited land, lack of water supply and high labor cost). Currently, more than 40% of the country's water consumption are exported from Malaysia.

However, thanks to its strategic location lying in the center of the trade flow between the America, Europe, Middle East - Africa and Asia and the heart of Asia; its stable financial system which is one of the financial centers of Asia and the world due to its pretty open economy; its highly-educated citizens ( according to UNESCO Singapore literacy rate has been going up from nearly 83% in 1980 to more than 97% in 2018), the country is among one of the most prosperous countries in the world.

Indiana Co. began a construction project in 2021 with a contract price of $163 million to be received when the project is comple
iragen [17]

Answer: Recognized $12.68 million gross profit on the project in 2022

Explanation:

Firstly we would need to ascertain the percentage of completion in 2022. We will do this by using the costs.

The cost incurred till date is,

= $32 million (incurred in 2021) + $59 million (incurred in 2022)

= $91 million. (1)

A further $37 million is estimated to remain in costs by project completion so the total cost would be,

= $91 million + 37 million

= $128 million is the total cost to be incurred. (2)

Dividing (1) by (2) to find out how much costs have been incurred vs how much is life we have,

= 91 / 128

= 0.7109

= 71 %

71 % of the project has been completed.

We will now find out the revenue for that very year using the percentage of the project completed.

The Total Revenue is $163 million so we will take 71% of that,

= 0.71(163)

= $115.73 million can be recognized as revenue TILL DATE. (3)

To find out the Revenue for the year then we can deduct the revenue of the previous year from the Revenue till date to find out the revenue for 2022.

But first we need to find the revenue of 2021 using the same method we used to calculate the Revenue this far

= 32 million / (32 + 86 million) * 163 million

= $44.01 million in revenue in 2021 (4)

Subtracting (4) from (3) to get the revenue for 2022 we have,

= 115.73 - 44.01

= $71.72 million is therefore the revenue for the year 2022

Calculating the gross profit for the year 2022 then we can subtract the cost in 2022 from the revenue for 2022.

= 71.72 million - 59 million

= $12.72 million

The answer we got is off by $0.04 from option C so we will pick Option C as the correct answer with the discrepancy going down to rounding off errors in the Intermediate Calculation.
