Answer:

b. your demand for peanut butter increases today.

Explanation:

If the price of a commodity would increase at a later date, consumers would increase demand for the good today. Consumers would be willing to buy as much as they can at the lower price. This would shift the demand curve to the right.

Two investment opportunities are as follows:________. Alt A Alt B First Cost 200 100 Uniform annual benefit 32 27 End of useful
Talja [164]

Answer:

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Alt A              Alt B

First Cost                                           200                 100

Uniform annual benefit                       32                   27

End of useful life salvage value         20                    0

Useful life, in years                              10                     5

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculation of NPV of Alt A

First Cost = 200

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (2)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 32

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 32 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^10) / 0.10) = 32 * 6.14456710570468 = 196.63

PV of Salvage value = FV / (1 + r)^n ..................... (2)

Where;

FV = End of useful life salvage value = 20

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The normal formula for calculating the present value (PV) is being used here to calculate the PV of Salvage value

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of Salvage value = 20 / (1 + 0.10)^10 = 20 / 2.5937424601 = 7.71

Net present value (NPV) of Alt .A = PV of uniform annual benefit + PV of Salvage value - First cost = 196.63 + 7.71 - 200 = 4.34

b. Calculation of NPV of Alt B

First Cost = 100

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (3)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 27

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 5

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is also being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 27 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10) = 27 * 3.79078676940845 = 102.35

NPV of Alt B = PV of uniform annual benefit - First cost = 102.35 – 100 = 2.35

c. Decision

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Projects S and L both have normal cash flows, and the projects have the same risk, hence both are evaluated with the same WACC,
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

E. If Projects S and L have the same NPV at the current WACC, 10%, then Project L, the one with the lower IRR, would have a higher NPV if the WACC used to evaluate the projects declined.

Explanation:

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

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is Banks view franchises as having fewer risks than other start-up businesses.

Explanation:

Franchising as an investment opportunity offers great advantages over other systems, this is an attractive alternative to develop a business; However, it will always be necessary to consider the pros and cons, before making a decision to franchise my business or not.

When I evaluate the possibility of franchising my business I have to be willing to assume a greater or lesser risk, that is, I am free to choose how much risk I am willing to accept in the development of my business model under the franchise scheme, and it is precisely this knowledge of the situation, which allows us to make the best decision about whether to expand my business (and under what conditions) or on the contrary wait for the business model to be at a more advanced stage of maturity before starting a project of franchise development.
