Your buddy in mechanical engineering has invented a money machine. The main drawback of the machine is that it is slow. It takes

one year to manufacture $ 200. ​However, once​ built, the machine will last forever and will require no maintenance. The machine can be built​ immediately, but it will cost $ 2 comma 000 to build. Your buddy wants to know if he should invest the money to construct it. If the interest rate is 11.5 % per​ year, what should your buddy​ do?

Answer: He should decline production of the machine.

Explanation:

Analyzing the problem, we can determine if he should proceed or not by calculating the Net present value. That is present value of the machine in terms of perpetuity as it will be used forever and the cost incurred in its production.

Given the following ;

To manufacture $200 = 1 year, meaning

Amount or yearly payment = $200

Cost of machine = $2,000

Interest rate(r) = 11.5% = 0.115

Recall;

Present the value if perpetuity ;

(Payment per period ÷ rate)

= $200 ÷ 0.115 = $1739.13

Net present value = $1,739.13 - $2000 = - 260.87

Given the negative value of NPV, the cost outweighs the benefit, hence, he should decline.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

3 cases

Explanation:

Marginal product refers to change in the total output when an additional input is employed. For example, output is 5 units when 2 laborers are employed. When another unit of input i.e 3rd laborer is employed, the output rises to 9 units. In this case marginal product of the 3rd unit of labor would be 9 - 5 i.e 4 units.

In the given case, before Atul is hired, the production was 4 cases per week. After his being hired, it rose to 7 cases per week. Thus Atul's marginal product in the given case would be 7 - 4 i.e 3 cases.
