Answer:
At 9.70% discount rate would you be indifferent between these two plans.

$14,000/r = $20,000. /r[1 - (1 + r)^-13]
(1 + r)^-13 = 1 - $14,000/$20,000.
(1 + r)^13 = 10/3
r = 9.70%
Therefore, at 9.70% discount rate would you be indifferent between these two plans.

Answer:
They are too restrictive in economic freedom
Explanation:
Answer:
The market that characterizes the industry in which Forey competes is a market where competition is at its greatest possible level and it is a perfectly competitive market and the reason is because its returns decrease with the entering of new firms, also four-firm concentration ratio and Herfindahl Hirschman index are both quite small, so no one has significant market power to set or even influence the market price. In the short-run Forey Inc’s profit will decrease as more and more new firms enter the market and in the long-run Forey Inc will receive only normal (zero) economic profit.
