Answer:
$109,688.89
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of given data are as follows,
Formula for Net present value are as follows,
NPV = -Investment in fixed asset - Net working Capital + Operating cashflow × ( 1 - 
) ÷ r + Net working capital ×
Where, r = rate of return
n = number of years
By putting the value, we get
NPV = -28,000 - 2,800 + 32,500 × ( 1 - 
) ÷ 0.14 + 2,800 ×
By solving the above equation, we get
NPV = $109,688.89
Answer:
a. Accept the order
b. Increase in short-term profit of $50,000
Explanation:
<em>Note : Blowing Sand has "enough excess capacity" this means that fixed cost will be the same in the range or they will be ocurred whether or not the special order is accepted.</em>

Answer:
0.66
Explanation:
the fourfirm concentration ratio is the sum of the concentration ratio of the four largest firms in the industry.
The sales of the second largest firm = $35 million - ( $10 million + $4 million+ $2 million + $12 million ) = $7 million
concentration ratio of firm 1 = $10 million / $35 million = 0.29
concentration ratio of firm 2 = $7 million / $35 million = 0.2
concentration ratio of firm 3 = $4 million / $35 million = 0.11
concentration ratio of firm 4 = $2 million / $35 million = 0.06
Adding the ratios together = 0.66
