Answer:
Countries become better at making the product they specialize in. Consumer benefits: Specialization means that the opportunity cost of production is lower, which means that globally more goods are produced and prices are lower. Consumers benefit from these lower prices and greater quantity of goods.
Explanation:
Answer:
The false statement is letter "A": The effect of compounding is great over short time periods, but then it begins to decline as the horizon grows.
Explanation:
Interest on interest or Compound Interest is the money accrued out of an interest rate plus all the interest earned accumulated on a certain period of time. The compound interest can be calculated on a daily, monthly or yearly basis. If the frequency of the compound interest is set in shorter periods of time, it will be more beneficial for the investor.
In that sense, option letter "A" is false since interest on interest does not decline over time but increases.
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
Out of all the options, only option A is the odd one out. Discount rate for determining net present value of an investment is never dependent upon the present value of the proposal's future cash flows.
Discount rate is dependent upon option B because for selecting a particular investment, alternative investment opportunities must have been considered and if the discount rate for alternative investment was better, it would have been preferred.
Also for Option C. Discount rate for risky investment will be different from the less risky.
It is also dependent upon option D because the cost of equity is always higher than the cost of debt. So it will be different.
Answer:
Year Dry Prepreg discounted cash flow
0 -$30,000 -$30,000
1 10,000 8,772
2 10,000 7,695
3 10,000 6,750
4 10,000 5,921
5 10,000 5,194
Year Solvent Prepreg. discounted cash flow
0 -$90,000 -$90,000
1 28,000 24,561
2 28,000 21,545
3 28,000 18,899
4 28,000 16,578
5 28,000 14,542
a. Calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project
Dry Prepreg
NPV = $4,330
IRR = 19.86%
MIRR = 17.12%
payback = 3 years
discounted payback = 4.17 years
Solvent Prepreg
NPV = $6,130
IRR = 16.80%
MIRR = 15.51%
payback = 3.21 years
discounted payback = 4.58 years
b. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?
- both projects, since their NPV is positive
c. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?
Dry prepreg becuase its IRR, MIRR are higher, and its payback and discounted payback periods are shorter.
