If the midwest experiences a severe drought that damages the corn crops, we should expect the:_________.

Business
1 answer:
kozerog [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B) The Supply of corn will decrease and the price of corn will rise.

Explanation:

Option B is correct because the drought has damaged the corn crops. Therefore, this will affect the supply of corn in the market. Moreover, the damage of corn crops will shift the supply curve leftwards and this shift in the supply curve will push the prices upwards. Thus, the damage of corn crops will increase the prices due to a decrease in its supply.

At the high level of activity in November, 12000 machine hours were run and power costs were $22000. In April, a month of low ac
NISA [10]

Answer:

The estimated fixed cost element of power costs is $10,000

Explanation:

For computing the fixed cost first we have to calculate the variable cost per unit which is shown below:

= (High power cost -  low power cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($22,000 - $15,000) ÷ (12,000 - 5,000)

= $7,000 ÷ 7,000

= $1

Now the fixed cost would be

= (High power cost) - (high machine hours × variable cost per unit)

= $22,000 - 12,000 × $1

= $22,000 - $12,000

= $10,000

Your company is considering purchasing a machine for $270,000. This machine will bring revenues of $100,000 in the second year,
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Yes we should go with this project because it has a positive NPV of $4,350

Explanation:

We need to calculate the net present value of the machine to decide whether to invest in the machine or not.

As per Given Data

Costs $270,000

Cash Inflows

Year 2      $100,000

Year 3      $150,000

Year 4      $75,000

Interest Rate = 6%

Net Present Value

As we know Net Present value is calculated by discounting each years cash flows using using the Weighted Average cost of Capital.

Year       Cash Inflows    Discount factor 13%  Present values

Year 0      $(270,000)     (1+6%)^-0                 $(270,000)

Year 2      $100,000        (1+6%)^-2                 $89,000

Year 3      $150,000        (1+6%)^-3                 $125,943

Year 4      $75,000          (1+6%)^-4                 <u>$59,407  </u>

Net present value                                            <u>$4,350   </u>

Consumers know that some fraction x of all new cars produced and sold in the market are defective. The defective ones cannot be
fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

Given :

The $\text{consumers value}$ the non defective cars = $\$ 10,000$

We will consider all the defective $\text{ cars are used cars}$ only. This is only because the value of the used car is $ 2000 and it is lower than the price of a good car that is $10,000. Thus only defective cars are being sold as the old cars.

For a risk neutral customer, the price that he is ready to give for the new car is the reservation price of a non defective car. It means that (the amount of $ 8000 is the value of the good car x chances of getting a good car) +( the value of the bad car x chances of getting a bad car).

Since we know that x is the fraction of all the cars sold in the market are defective, it means that the fraction of the good cars is 1 - x. Thus putting the values,

$x\times 2000+(1-x)\times 10000=8000$

$10000-8000x=80000$

$8000x=2000$

$x=\frac{2}{8}$

  = 0.25

Thus the value of :

$x=\frac{2}{8} = 0.25$
