Answer:

A) Project A = 0.83 year

B) NPV of Project B = $14,609.66

C) Answer B

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Payback period = Last year with negative cumulative cash flows + (Absolute value of last year's cumulative cash flow ÷ Cash flow of the following year's negative cumulative cash flow)

Or, Payback period = A + ( B ÷ C)

                             Project A                                       Project B

Year   Cash Flow   Cumulative Cash Flow    Cash Flow  Cumulative Cash Flow

0 (A)   -$10,000      -$10,000 (B)                     -$10,000        -$10,000 (B)

1           $12,000 (C)      2,000                           $10,000(C)                 0

2              8,000         10,000                               6,000             6,000

3              6,000         16,000                              16,000           22,000

Payback period for project A = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 12,000) = 0 + 0.833 = 0.83 year

Payback period for project B = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 10,000) = 0 + 1 = 1 year

X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project A because it can return the investment earlier than project B.

Requirement B

We can use excel to find the Net Present Value for both the projects with a cost of capital of 10%.

The following image shows the NPV for project A and B.

From the calculation of NPV, X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project B as that project yields more present cash flows.

Requirement C

A firm should generally have more confidence in answer b because money can produce more logical sense than a year. Yes, it is easy to understand how many years a company will need to get back its cash flow. Still, the present value of cash flows provides a more specific evaluation of how to utilize the initial investment.

Economic theory and the data in the table show that the average total cost curve and the marginal cost curve are related in that the MC curve passes through the minimum point of the ATC curve.

<h3>What is the relationship between the MC and ATC curves?</h3><h3 />

The data given by the table (which is accurately filled up) shows that the MC curve will intersect the ATC curve at its lowest point.

We see this from the fact that before the lowest ATC of 0.107, the marginal cost was less than the ATC. After the lowest ATC however, the marginal cost becomes higher than the ATC.

This shows that the MC curve intersected the ATC at its lowest point of 0.107 and then kept rising above it.
