Answer:

NPV = $246764705.88

Explanation:

The net present value of the stadium can be calculated by deducting the present value of cash outflow from the present value of cash inflow.

DATA

Initial price = $800,000,000

Revenue from sale of previous equipment = $85,000,000

Goverment provided fund to discount the price = $300,000,000

Discount factor for year 1 at 2% = 0.9804

Future Cash inflow = $675,000,000

Solution

NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows

NPV = $661,764,705.88 - $415,000,000

NPV = $246,764,706

Working

PV of Cash inflow = $675,000,000 x 0.9804

PV of cash inflow = $661,764,706

PV of Cash outflow = Initial price - Revenue form sale - Goverment fund

PV of cash outflow = $800,000,000 - $85,000,000 - $300,000,000

PV of cash outflow = $415,000,000

Elena L [17]

Answer:

A) The current supply will shift to the left

Explanation:

The supply curve shifts to the left when the total quantity supplied decreases, which results in a price increase at any given quantity.

If everyone expects that the football team will have a great season, the quantity demanded for tickets will increase, which will increase their price. But the suppliers will also hold to their tickets until a day or two before the games to increase expectations and fans' anxieties. That way the price will increase even more, and they will make a higher profit.
