Answer:
- Project A and C given a budgetary constraint of $15,000.
- Pick all projects if there was not constraint as they all have positive NPVs.
Explanation:
Find the NPVs of the various projects.
Project A:
= Present value of inflows - Cost
= 4,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 4,000 / 1.085³ - 7,500
= $2,716.09
Project B:
= 3,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 3,000 / 1.085³ - 8,000
= $511.52
Project C:
= 2,500 / 1.085² - 2,000
= $123.64
Seeing as she has only $15,000 to embark on projects, she should pick projects A and C.
Project A should be picked because it has the highest NPV and Project C should be picked because it can still be invested in after Project A given budgetary constraints.
Answer:
Edgar
The amount he will owe on this debt in 2 years for quarterly compounding is:
= $7,387.28
Explanation:
Accumulated loan debt = $5,000
Interest rate per year = 20%
Period of loan = 2 years
Interest compounding = quarterly
From an online financial calculator:
N (# of periods) 8
I/Y (Interest per year) 20
PV (Present Value) 5000
PMT (Periodic Payment) 0
Results
FV = $7,387.28
Total Interest $2,387.28
Answer:
B
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
A company has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries
Allocative efficiency occurs in efficient markets when goods, services or capital are distributed in a way that is efficient to all the parties involved.
When countries trade in the goods for which they have a comparative advantage in its production, all the parties in the trade gains
Answer: (a) $197,500
(b) $ 189,500
Explanation:
Given : The marginal cost function : 
To find the cost function, we need to integrate the above function with respect to x.
Now, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 100 units to 150 units will be:-
![\int^{150}_{100}\ C'(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{150}_{100} (4000-0.4x)\ dx\\\\=[4000x-\dfrac{0.4x^2}{2}]^{150}_{100}\\\\=[4000(150)-\dfrac{0.4(150)^2}{2}-4000(100)+\dfrac{0.4(100)^2}{2}]\\\\=[600000-4500-400000+2000]\\\\=197500](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cint%5E%7B150%7D_%7B100%7D%5C%20C%27%28x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cint%5E%7B150%7D_%7B100%7D%20%284000-0.4x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000x-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4x%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5E%7B150%7D_%7B100%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000%28150%29-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28150%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D-4000%28100%29%2B%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28100%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B600000-4500-400000%2B2000%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D197500)
Hence, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 100 units to 150 units= $197,500
Similarly, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 500 units to 550 units :-
![\int^{550}_{500}\ C'(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{550}_{500} (4000-0.4x)\ dx\\\\=[4000x-\dfrac{0.4x^2}{2}]^{550}_{500}\\\\=[4000(550)-\dfrac{0.4(550)^2}{2}-4000(500)+\dfrac{0.4(500)^2}{2}]\\\\=[2200000-60500-2000000+50000]\\\\=189,500](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cint%5E%7B550%7D_%7B500%7D%5C%20C%27%28x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cint%5E%7B550%7D_%7B500%7D%20%284000-0.4x%29%5C%20dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000x-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4x%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5E%7B550%7D_%7B500%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B4000%28550%29-%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28550%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D-4000%28500%29%2B%5Cdfrac%7B0.4%28500%29%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B2200000-60500-2000000%2B50000%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D189%2C500)
Hence, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 500 units to 550 units = $ 189,500
Answer/Explanation:
A. Increase in import WOULD NOT lead to a decrease in national income because it would lead to increase in revenue derived from import duties.
B. A decrease in interest (leakage) WOULD lead to decrease in national income because it will increase borrowing and reduces investment.
C. A decrease in money supply (money available in an economy) WOULD NOT lead to decrease in national income because it reduces inflational rate.
D. An increase in exchange rate WOULD lead to decrease in national income because it would encourage capital flight.
E. A decrease in foreign income WOULD lead to decrease in national income because it reduces revenue earnings.
