Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

If the marginal cost of producing one extra unit is larger than the marginal revenue earned by selling one extra unit, then the production should either be reduced or halted.

Generally in very competitive industries, like car industries, when the marginal cost exceeds the marginal revenue then the company should stop production in the short run until the price increases.

One real life example we can use is the traditional sales battle to decide who sells the most sedan cars in America between Honda and Toyota. Toyota has the advantage of fleet selling over Honda, since Honda is not willing to offer steep discounts on fleet sales as Toyota does. But does selling more sedans equals larger profits? Not necessarily, since fleet sales require steep discounts, Toyota's profitability is reduced or nearly eliminated. Honda decides to lower their production levels so that their marginal costs don't exceed their marginal revenue.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A. The first cash flow of an annuity due is made on the first day of the agreement.

G. The last cash flow of an ordinary annuity is made on the last day covered by the agreement.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Future value after 4 years is

= Annual deposit  × Cumulative FV factor at 9% for 4 periods of an ordinary annuity

= $6,000 × 4.57313

= $27,439

Therefore the above statements are true and the same is to be considered

Hence, all other statements are incorrect

X-treme Vitamin Company is considering two investments, both of which cost $10,000. The cash flows are as follows:Year Project A
liq [111]

Answer:

A) Project A = 0.83 year

B) NPV of Project B = $14,609.66

C) Answer B

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Payback period = Last year with negative cumulative cash flows + (Absolute value of last year's cumulative cash flow ÷ Cash flow of the following year's negative cumulative cash flow)

Or, Payback period = A + ( B ÷ C)

                             Project A                                       Project B

Year   Cash Flow   Cumulative Cash Flow    Cash Flow  Cumulative Cash Flow

0 (A)   -$10,000      -$10,000 (B)                     -$10,000        -$10,000 (B)

1           $12,000 (C)      2,000                           $10,000(C)                 0

2              8,000         10,000                               6,000             6,000

3              6,000         16,000                              16,000           22,000

Payback period for project A = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 12,000) = 0 + 0.833 = 0.83 year

Payback period for project B = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 10,000) = 0 + 1 = 1 year

X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project A because it can return the investment earlier than project B.

Requirement B

We can use excel to find the Net Present Value for both the projects with a cost of capital of 10%.

The following image shows the NPV for project A and B.

From the calculation of NPV, X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project B as that project yields more present cash flows.

Requirement C

A firm should generally have more confidence in answer b because money can produce more logical sense than a year. Yes, it is easy to understand how many years a company will need to get back its cash flow. Still, the present value of cash flows provides a more specific evaluation of how to utilize the initial investment.
