Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the Pi is shown below:

As we know that

Profitability index = Present value of cash inflows ÷ Initial investment

where,

The Present value of cash inflows is

PVA = Periodic amount ×  (1 - (1 + interest rate) - time period ÷ interest rate)

= $67,000 ×  (1 - (1 + 13%) - 7 ÷ 13%)

= $67,000 × (1 - ( 1+ 0.13) - 7 ÷ 0.13)

= $67,000 × (1 - ( 1.13) -7 ÷ 0.13)

= $67,000 × (1 - 0.42506064374) ÷ 0.13)

= $67,000 × (0.57493935626 ÷ 0.13)

= $67000 × 4.422610432

= $296,314.90

Now the Profitability index is

= $296,314.90 ÷ $325,000

= 0.9117

As the PI is less than 1 so the project should not be accepted

Gallons per Week Total Benefit Marginal Benefit
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Marginal Benefit = 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 .

Optimal  Equilibrium = 4 units of consumption

Explanation:

Marginal Benefit is addition to total benefit when an additional unit is consumed.

Marginal Benefit = Total Benefit @ n - Total Benefit @ n-1

MB = 15-8 = 7

21- 15 = 6

26 - 21 = 5

30 - 26 = 4

33 - 30 = 3

35 - 33 = 2

36 - 35 = 1

Optimal Equilibium is where Marginal Benefit = Price . Such because : before that - MB > Price , increasing consumption is better for consumer. MB< Price , decreasing consumption is better for consumer.

In this case : Price i.e $4 = MB 4 at 4th gallon . So , this is optimal equilibrium.

Equipment purchased for $85,000 on January 1, 2010, was sold on July 1, 2013 for $30,000. The company uses the straight-line met
gregori [183]

Answer:

B) $59,500

Explanation:

The equipment was purchased for 85,000 and has no salvage value which means that all 85,000 will be depreciated over it lifetime. It has a life of 5 years and because it uses straight line method it means that it will depreciate equally each year. The equipment is bought on JAN 1 2010 and sold on July 1 2013 which means that the equipment is used for 3.5 years and in order to find its depreciation we will divide 3.5 by 5 and multiply it by 85,000.

3.5/5*85,000=59,500
