Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
Answer:
should specialize in the production of goods for which they have a lower opportunity cost of production than their trading partners
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Country A should specialise in the production of beans and B should specialise in the production of rice
Answer:
Comet's E&P will decrease by $50,000 due to the exchange.
Explanation:
50 of Pam's shares are worth 50 x $1,000 = $50,000, since the corporation is redeeming them, it will do so by decreasing its earnings and profits (retained earnings account).
Generally when larger corporations buy back stocks (AKA treasury stocks), they will credit cash and debit treasury stocks, but since Pam's stocks are being retired, they are not going to be held as treasury stocks, therefore E&P must decrease.
Answer:
so value of the mistake is $311685.71
Explanation:
given data
present value = $1,200,000
time = 6 year
discount rate = 18%
discount rate = 8%
to find out
What is the dollar value of the mistake
solution
we get here present value that is express as for both rate that is
present value = 
put here value
present value = 
present value 1 = $444517.85
and
present value = 
present value 2 = $756203.55
so
difference is $756203.55 - $444517.85
difference is = $311685.71
so value of the mistake is $311685.71
Answer:
$500 million
Explanation:
The solution of the money supply and its effect is here below:-
Decrease in money supply = $50 million ÷ reserve ratio
= $50 million ÷ 10%
= $500 million
If $50 million were used to repay loans, that will have raised money supply. Thus, buying $50 million in government securities from the fed reduces the supply of capital.
