Answer:
If discount rate is 11.7% Project B should be accepted.
If discount rate is 13.5% both projects should be rejected
Explanation:
If the Net present value of Project A is higher than that of project B, we will accept project A and vice versa.
<u>Under 11.7% Discount Rate</u>
Net Present Value-Project A = -82000 + 34000 / 1.117 + 34000 / 1.117² + 34000 / 1.117³ = $85.099
Net Present Value-Project B = -82000 + 115000 / 1.117³ = $516.029
Project B should be accepted as it has a higher NPV.
<u />
<u>Under 13.5% Discount Rate</u>
Net present Value-Project A = -82000 + 34000 / 1.135 + 34000 / 1.135² + 34000 / 1.135³ = - $2397.49
Net Present Value-Project B = -82000 + 115000 / 1.135³ = - $3347.91
Both projects should be rejected as both have negative NPVs

Answer:
A) Janice will purchase 3 pounds of potatoes since she will buy them until her consumer surplus ≤ 0. The fourth pound of potatoes costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay only $0.30, so her consumer surplus s negative (-$0.70).
Consumer surplus is the difference between the price that a customer is willing and able to pay for a good and the good actual price.
B) If Janice only had $2 to spend, she would buy 2 pounds of potatoes, since her consumer surplus is positive at 2 pounds.
first pound costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay $1.50, consumer surplus = $0.50
second pound costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay $1.14, consumer surplus = $0.14
