Answer:

NPV = - $ 2

Explanation:

given data

costs = $200 million

present value successful = $270 million

unsuccessful = $120 million

probability of success = 52%

to find out

expected NPV

solution

we know cost is = $200

and Cash flows if Successful = $270 and Probability = 52%

so

Cash flows if unsuccessful = $120 and Probability will be= 100% - 52% = 48 %

so

expected Present value of the venture will be

expected Present value of the venture  = $270 × 52% + $120 × 48 %

expected Present value of the venture  =  $198

so NPV = $198 - $200

NPV = - $ 2

icang [17]

Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.
