The best mechanisms known today for efficiently providing goods and services are:

Project A has a required return on 9.2 percent and cash flows of −$87,000, $32,600, $35,900, and $43,400 for Years 0 to 3, respe

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Accept Project B , Reject Project A

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be found using a financial calculator

For project A ,

Cash flow in year 0 = $-87,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,600

Cash floe in year 2 = $35,900

Cash floe in year 3 = $43,400

I = 9.2%

NPV = $6,288.17

For project B,

Cash flow in year zero = −$85,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $14,700

Cash flow in year 2 = $21,200

Cash flow in year 3 = $89,800

I = 12.7%

NPV = $7,468.93

Based on the NPV, the second project would be chosen because it has a higher NPV.

Both projects are profitable but because the projects are mutually exclusive, only the more profitable project can be chosen.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Identify whether each statement in the following table best illustrates the concept of consumers’ surplus, producers’ surplus, o

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1. Neither ; 2. Consumer Surplus ; 3. Producer Surplus

Explanation:

Consumer Surplus is the difference between a good's price paid by consumer, & maximum price the consumer is willing to pay for the good.

Producer Surplus is the difference between a good's price received by a seller, & minimum price at which the seller is willing to sell the good.

1. Willing to pay $209 for watch, buyer willing to sell at $196, no trade as price ceiling at $190 : It illustrates neither concept as transaction has not actually occurred, so no price established.

2. Willing to pay $39 for sweater, purchased it for $32 : It illustrates 'Consumer Surplus' case = $7 , as it shows difference between maximum willingness to pay by buyer ($39) & the actual buy price ($32)

3. Willing to sell laptop at $190, sold it at $199 : It illustrates 'Producer Surplus' case = $9 , as it shows difference between minimum willingness to sell price ($190) & actual sale price ($199)

Ted purchased an annuity today that will pay $1,000 a month for five years. He received his first monthly payment today. Allison

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The correct option is E,Ted's annuity has a higher present value than Allison's

Explanation:

Both annuities do not have equal amount today as $1000 received today is higher in value terms than $1000 receivable in a month's time since cash receivable earlier is much more valued than the one receivable later.

Ted's annuity is an annuity due not an ordinary annuity

Allison's annuity is an ordinary annuity not annuity due

Allison's annuity has a lower present value than Ted's and not the other way round.

The only correct statement is option E,since Ted is expected to receive $1000 today, his annuity has a higher present value compared to Allison's

Bill spent most of his month’s allowance for expensive tickets to a rock concert after Lorene said she would go with him. On the

aksik [14]

<span>Tony did not breach a contract because it was all up to Lorene and who she wanted to go with. Lorene is not obligated to go with either. Although Bill spent most of his allowance, he could still ask someone else, sell his ticket and or even go by himself. I do not think Tony could be held liable even if he knew. It was not a nice thing to flake on Bill, but ultimately, it was Lorene's decision to make.</span>
