Answer:

 

Explanation:

a ) We shall calculate the NPV of the project . If it is positive , then money can be invested

Cash outflow in the beginning =1000

Present value of perpetual annuity of 100 at 9.5 %

100 / .095

= 1052.63

which is more than initial cash outflow

So NPV is positive

Hence money can be invested.

b )

If machine takes one year to build , first year cash outflow of 100 will be absent

Present value of 100 after 1 year

= 100 / 1.095

= 91.32

So present value of annuity

= 1052.63 - 91.32

= 961.31

This is less than 1000 so

NPV is negative.

Hence money can not be invested.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The Pandemic has made chicken more expensive, in order to offset this effect to consumers, government subsidized the price of chickens by a per-unit subsidy. If it wants to study the substitution effect of this subsidy, the government should imposed a Lump-sum tax.

False

Explanation:

The government should have imposed a lump-sum subsidy if it really wanted to study the substitution effect of the subsidy instead of imposing a lump-sum tax.  This subsidy should be granted to chicken farmers to reduce their production costs, which will in turn reduce the cost of chicken to the consumers.  A lump-sum tax sounds like a contradictory effort to offset the high cost of chicken on the consumers.
