Answer: Project X

Explanation:

The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.

Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;

= 68,000/24,000

= 2.83 years

Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;

= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback

Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000

= $56,000

This means that the third year is the year before payback.

60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000

Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000

= 3.2 years

Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.

3. Explain why price is equal to marginal revenue in pure competition but not in a monopoly. Include in your explanation why the
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The answer is in a perfect competition profit is maximized when marginal cost equal marginal revenue and price is equal to average revenue and marginal revenue, while in monopolist profit is maximized when marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue.

Explanation:

The firm in a perfectly competitive market is a price taker,the price in the market is determined by the market forces of demand and supply. The firm has to sell their product at the ruling market price.The demand curve facing the firm in perfectly competitive market is horizontal or perfectly elastic, profit is therefore maximized when the marginal cost is equal to average revenue and marginal revenue. The firm in the market operate at the output level in which the price and marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. Whatever prices that change the market demand or supply will change the demand curve faced by the firm.The firm cannot do anything to this than to accept the market price and the demand curve.

In a monopoly the demand curve is identical to the demand curve of the firm, because industry demand curve is downward sloping.The monopolist can either set the price or quantity not the two.when one is determined the value of the other will be determined by the demand function. The profit maximization of the monopolist also requires that marginal cost must be equal to marginal revenue just like in the case of perfect completion.when the monopolist equates MR and MC the monopolist determines its output and the market price for the product. The revenue curve is steeper than the demand curve,because the straight line is the market demand. The firm will have to reduce The price of the product if they want to sell more of their product the unit of the product sold is the AR which is equal to the price.Therefore the AR curve of the monopolist and the perfect competition MR and AR are both identical that informed the reason why the marginal revenue curve is steeper than the demand curve for a single price monopolist.

When maria comes home from work, she finds that her yard has been mowed and trimmed. an hour later, a man comes to her door to c
Andreyy89

Answer:

d. maria would not have to pay anything.

Explanation:

In this scenario Maria did not form a contract with the man to cut her lawn and had not even met him before. So there is no contract formed voluntarily, neither is it an implied contract.

Maria was enriched in this process because she will benefit from the cutting of the lawn. She was however not unjustly enriched because the man was not unduly influenced to carry out the task.

Maria can however pay the man after the fact at her discretion.

You have $12,500 you want to invest for the next 30 years. You are offered an investment plan that will pay you 7 percent per ye
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Balance after 30 years = $151,018.50

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we will calculate the future value on an amount invested, gaining interest over the years of investment, and this is given by:

FV = PV (1 + r)^{t}

where:

FV = future value

PV = present value

r = interest rate

t = time in years.

Hence the future value is calculated as follows:

1. For the first 10 years at 7% interest:

7% interest = 7/100 = 0.07

FV = 12,500 (1 + 0.07)^{10}

FV = 12,500 (1.07)^{10}\\FV = 12,500 * 1.967 = 24,589.392

2. For the last 20 years at 9.5%(0.095) interest:

Note that for the remaining 20 years, the present value (PV) used = 24,589.392, as ending balance after the first 10 years

FV = 24,589.392 (1 + 0.095)^{20}

FV = 24,589.392 (1.095)^{20}\\FV= 24,589.392 * 6.1416\\FV = 151,018.496

Total Future value earned = $151,018.50
