Answer:
Projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
Optimal Capital is $5,750,000
Explanation:
The accept-or-reject rule, using the IRR method, is to acceptthe project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is higher than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital(k) [r>k]. The project shall berejected if its internal rate of return is e lower than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital cost of (r<k)
Accept if r>k
Reject if r<k
Mayaccept if r = k
If the Weighted Average Cost of Capitl (WACC) is less than IRRrate, then the project has positive NPV; if it is equal to IRR, theproject has a Zero NPV, and if it is greater than the IRR, theproject has negative NPV.
The projects should be accepted as the rate of return on theproject is higher than the WACC(10.8%) which means that theprojects will be profitable as the returns are higher than the costof the project (capital). Considering this projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
And considering the sizes the Optimal Capital is $5,750,000 (the addition of sizes of all projects)
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": industry-wide differentiation strategy.
Explanation:
An industry-wide differentiation strategy aims to broaden the scope of a business that is specially dedicated to the retail of products of a certain industry. The company keeps focusing on the same industry but supplying more related products consumers their typical consumers are likely to purchase. Part of the strategy implies reaching new markets, thus, investment in new locations might be necessary.
Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Answer:
Premium, value
Explanation:
Premium Pricing Strategy: this a strategy used by companies to drive up the prices for their products. This strategy is used when customers can be convinced that a company will offer a higher value than its competitors.
For example, looking at the prices of a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Toyota, one costs $450,000 and the other costs $25,000, both will take you from your office to your house, but some customers will prefer to buy the Rolls Royce, this is because of the value the Rolls Royce offers.
Value: this is the worth or usefulness of something. Therefore, if a company can offer value for money, customers will be willing to pay.
