Answer:

NPV = $1.49  million

Explanation:

<em>The NPV is the difference between the 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>

<em>NPV of an investment:  </em>

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

But we will need to work out the discount rate to be used for discounting the cash flows. Hence, we need to determine the cost of capital as follows:

Step 1: After-tax cost of debt

After tax cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1-tax rate rate)

                                 = 9%× (1--0.3)=6.3%

Step 2 : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC)

WACC=( 0.25×6.3%) + (0.75× 13%) =11.325 %

Step 3:Net Present Value (NPV)

PV of cash inflow= (1- (1.11325^-5)/0.11325)× 13.5 = 49.49  million

Initial cost = $48 million

NPV = 49.49  million -  $48 million  =$1.49  million

NPV = $1.49  million

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Kelvin buys more donuts at $0.80 per donut than at $0.95 per donut, other things equal.

Explanation:

The demand law states that if the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded for that good or service will increase. On the other hand, if the price of a god or service increases, the quantity demanded will decrease. The price-quantity demanded of the demand law is inversely proportional, <em>ceteris paribus</em>.

Thus, Kelvin's case is an example of the demand law since he purchases more donuts when the price is lower ($0.80) and purchases fewer donuts when the price is higher ($0.95).
