Answer:

NPV = $-43246.56103 rounded off to - $43246.56

Explanation:

The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project.

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  + CFn / (1+r)^n  -  Initial Cost

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
  • r is the required rate of return

NPV = 74000 (1+0.12)  +  74000 (1+0.12)^2  +  74000 (1+0.12)^3  +  74000 (1+0.12)^4  +  74000 (1+0.12)^5  -  310000

NPV = $-43246.56103 rounded off to - $43246.56

Cynthia​ Knott's oyster bar buys fresh Louisiana oysters for ​$3 per pound and sells them for ​$8 per pound. Any oysters not sol
iragen [17]

Answer:

111 pounds

Explanation:

The number of pounds Cynthia should order each day can be calculated as follows

Calculation

Standard deviation = 20

Mean = 100

Cost of actual utilization = 8-3 = 5

Cost of Under utilization = 4-2 = 2

Probability of sale = Co/(Cu+Co)

Probability of sale = 5/(5+2)

Probability of sale =0.714

Z score at above probability = z = 0.57

hence cynthia should order= mean+z*standard deviation

Order = 100+0.57*20

Order = 111.4 or 111 pounds

Why might one firm have positive cash flows and be headed for financial trouble?
Katena32 [7]
A cash flow statement merely describes the net change in a company's cash flow in investment, operational, and financial activities at a given period in time. As such, a bad debt in the company's portfolio cannot be reflected correctly in the cash flow statement. A company can also result to selling products at a much lower prices than it purchased them. While this is reflected in the cash flow statement, it does not translate into overall profitability of the concerned company.

Bill currently uses his entire budget to purchase 5 cans of Pepsi and 3 hamburgers per week. The price of Pepsi is $1 per can, t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

INCREASE the consumption of Pepsi and REDUCE the consumption of Hamburger

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that Bill uses his whole budget to purchase the following :

5 cans of Pepsi

3 Hamburgers per week

And the following were the price:

Pepsi costs $1 per can

Hamburger cost $2

Bill marginal utility:

Pepsi 4

Hamburgers 6

Based on the above details this means that Bill could increase his utility by INCREASING Pepsi consumption and REDUCING hamburger consumption reason been that 5 cans of Pepsi costs $1 per can which will gives us income of $5 ($5×1) while 3 Hamburgers per week cost $2 which will give us income of $6 ($3×2) which typically means that the Hamburgers has more income that Pepsi.

Secondly since the marginal utility for Pepsi is 4 while that of Hamburgers is 6 which means that Hamburgers has higher MARGINAL UTILITY than that of Pepsi because the consumption of Hamburgers is higher than the consumption of Pepsi.

Therefore the best thing that Bill could do in order to increase his Pepsi utility is for Bill to increase Pepsi consumption and reduce hamburger consumption.

Mr. And mrs. Atoll are planning a party for 10 people and want to make sure they have enough soda for everyone to have two bottl
melomori [17]

The option that makes the most sense for the party by Mr and Mrs Atoll is one case of 24 sodas at $18.50.

<h3>Why this option is the cheapest</h3>

The reason for this is that given the guests they are entertaining, this option is the most cheapest and effective.

How to calculate for the way that the drink would go round

a. Each bottle is $1.5. Two bottles for 1 = 1.5x2 = 3 dollars

b. six packs at 5$. One= $0.88

c. A case of 24 sodas at $18.5. one soda is going to be  18.5/24 = $0.77

d. Two cases of 24 soda at 18.5 = $1.54

Given the calculations that have been done above, option c at $0.77 is the cheapest. It would require them to send the less money in getting sodas that would go round twice for 10 people.
