. Which one of the following businesses would be the most difficult to get funding for?

You are scheduled to receive annual payments of $60,000 for each of the next 20 years. The annual rate of return is 8 percent. W

babymother [125]

Answer:

= $ 219,657.43

Explanation:

FV of annuity = P x [(1+r) n -1/r]

P = Periodic payment = $ 20,000

r = Periodic interest rate = 0.08

n = Number of periods = 20

FV = $ 60,000 x [(1+ 0.08)20 -1/0.08]

= $ 60,000 x [(1.08)20 -1/0.08]

= $ 60,000 x [(4.66095714384931 -1)/0.08]

= $ 60,000 x (3.66095714384931/0.08)

= $ 60,000 x 45.7619642981163

= $ 2,745,717.85788698 or $ 2,745,717.86

FV of annuity due =(1+r) x P x [(1+r) n -1/r]

= (1+0.08) x $ 2,745,717.85788698

= 1.08 x $ 2,745,717.85788698

= $ 2,965,375.28651794 or $ 2,965,375.29

Difference in FV of ordinary annuity and annuity due

= $ 2,965,375.29 - $ 2,745,717.86

= $ 219,657.43

In a homogeneous-good Cornet model where each of the n firms has a constant marginal cost m and the market demand curve is p = a

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

$Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n=1 (monopoly) we have $Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be $Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}$

Explanation:

In the case of a homogeneous-good Cournot model we have that firm i will solve the following profit maximizing problem

$Max_{q_i} \,\, \Pi_i=(a-b(\sum_{i=1}^n q_i)-m)q_i$

from the FPC we have that

$a-b\sum_{i=1}^n q_i -m -b q_i=0$

$q_i=\frac{a-b \sum_{i=2}^n q_i-m}{2b}$

since all firms are homogeneous this means that $q_i=q \forall i$

then $q=\frac{a-b (n-1) q-m}{2b}=\frac{a-m}{(n+1)b}$

the industry output is then

$Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n=1 (monopoly) we have $Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be $Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}$

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$218,917 –$16,419 1 25,700 5,985 2 5

cluponka [151]

Answer:

I will choose Project B

Payback period of Project A is 4.2 years

Explanation:

IRR shows the percentage rate at which the net present value of the cash flows are zero. The more IRR rate of the project the more beneficial it is.

IRR

Project A = 31%

Project B = 38%

In this Question the IRR of Project B is higher so, it will be more beneficial and I will select it based on IRR ignoring all other factors.

Payback period of Project A is 4.2 years means 4 years, 2 months and 12 days.

What is market power?

Sedbober [7]

I would say the correct answer is B. t<span>he ability of a company to change prices and output like a monopolist. Market power is basically the power of a particular company to manipulate the price of the product and thus affect all other participants, as well as customers. Monopolists have the greatest market power; conversely, in an ideally balanced economy, nobody would have market power. All participants would have equal chances and nobody would dictate the terms to others.</span>

In a large city, two taxi companies own all the licenses that the city will grant to operate taxis. consumers don't care which c

liberstina [14]

Answer:

this situation can be classified as an duopoly

Explanation:

An duopoly is similar to a monopoly but instead of only supplier there are two suppliers that share total market power and control. Both companies also offer basically the same product or service. Competition exists between the companies but it is not significant, both companies decide to coexist. Customers are forced to choose between one company or the other.

In this case, there are only two taxi companies and the customers really don't care what company they use since they both offer similar services. None of the companies even bothers to offer a better service to try to gain a larger market share.
