Answer:

<em>The slope of the demand curve at point A is </em><u><em> </em></u><u>- $0.40/unit</u>

<em>The slope of the demand curve at point B is </em><u>- $0.14/unit</u>

Explanation:

See the file attached with the figure corresponding to this question.

<em>The slope of a curve</em> at a given point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.

<em><u>Point A:</u></em>

The tangent line to the <em>demand curve at point A is</em> drawn and passes through the points (20, 34) and (45, 24).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (34 - 24) / (20 - 45) units

slope = - $10 /25units = - $2/5units = - $0.40/unit.

The minus sign indicates the that price decreases when the quantity increases

<u><em>Point B:</em></u>

<em>The tangent line to the demand curve at point B</em> passes through the points (90, 12) and (140, 5).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (12 - 5) / (90 - 140) units

slope = - $7 /50units = - $7/50units = - $0.14/unit.

Again, the negative sign indicates that when the number of units increase the price decreases.

Using a 14% cost of capital, calculate the net present value for each of the independent projects shown in the following table,

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

For project A ,

NPV = $-4,351.65

The project A isn't acceptable because the NPV is negative

For project B ,

NPV = $67,678.24

The project is acceptable because the NPV is postive

For project C,

NPV = $-76,528.17

The project C isnt acceptable because the NPV is negative

For project D,

NPV = $98,189.82

Project D is acceptable because the NPV is postive.

For project E ,

NPV = $8,548.44

Project E is acceptable because the NPV is postive.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A,

Cash flow in year 0 = -20,000

Cash flow each year from year 1-10 = 3,000

I = 14%

NPV = $-4,351.65

The project A shouldn't be embarked on because the NPV is negative

For Project B,

Cash flow in year 0 = $ -600,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 120,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 145,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 170,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 190,000

Cash flow in year 5 =220,000

Cash flow in year 6= 240,000

I = 14%

NPV = $67,678.24

The project should be embarked on because the NPV is postive.

For Pr. C ,

Cash flow in year 0 = -150,000,

Cash flow in year 1 = 18,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 17,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 16,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 15,000

Cash flow in year 5 = 14,000,

Cash flow in year 6 = 13,000

Cash flow in year 7 = 12,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 11,000

Cash flow in year 9= 10,000

I = 14%

NPV = $-76,528.17

The project C shouldn't be embarked on because the NPV is negative

For Pr. D,

Cash flow in year 0 = -760,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = 185,000

I = 14%

NPV = $98,189.82

Project D should be embarked on because the NPV is postive.

For Pr. E,

Cash flow in year 0 = -100,000

Cash flow each year for year 1 to 3 = 0 cash flow in year 4 = 25,000

Cash flow in year 5 = 36,000

Cssh flpw in year 6 = 0

Cash flow in year 7 = 60,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 72,000

Cash flow in year 9 = 84,000.

I = 14%

NPV = $8,548.44

Project E is profitable and can be undertaken.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

QS 20-26A Merchandising: Cash payments for merchandise LO P4 Garda purchased $610,000 of merchandise in August and expects to pu

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The cash payments for September are $646000

Explanation:

The cash payments for merchandise are divided into to parts. The previous month's 70% payments and this month's 30% payments. Thus, the cash payments for the month of september will be 70% for AAugust purchases and 30% for september's purchases.

Thus the cash payments for merchandise will be,

Cash Payments = 0.7 * 610000 + 0.3 * 730000 = $646000

The computation is executed using excel. Here is the explanation for same:

There are two loan choices available. We must calculate the total payments for both alternatives and choose the one with the lowest cost.
The first option is to pay $193.60 per month with 10% interest for 3 years.
The second option is to pay $158 per month for four years at 12% interest.
Total cost for option 1 is $969.60.

Explanation:

The theory of planned behavior was developed in 1985, based on the Theory of Reasoned Action. This theory contains five variables that include behavior, intention, attitude, subjective norm and control of perceived behavior.

Unlike the theory of reasoned action, the control of perceived behavior is added to the theory of planned behavior, which refers to a person's perceptions of the presence or absence of resources and opportunities required, however, this element it is not presented in the theory of reasoned action, and the theory of planned behavior has proven to be superior to the theory of reasoned action for predicting behavior.
