Answer:

Elastic; Inelastic; If a good is narrowly defined

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded with any change in the price level of the product.

(a) If the price elasticity of demand is greater than one in absolute terms then the demand for that product is said to be elastic. Therefore, the demand for Post Raisin Bran cereal is elastic.

(b) Alternatively, if the price elasticity of demand is less than one in absolute terms then the demand for that product is said to be inelastic. Therefore, the demand for all types of breakfast cereals is inelastic.

(c) If the goods are narrowly defined, this means that there are large number of substitutes available. This indicates that the demand for these goods is elastic. Alternatively, if the goods are broadly defined then there are less number of substitutes are available. This means that the demand for these products is inelastic.

Answer:

The Net Present Value is - $20324

Explanation:    

We can use our financial calculator to work out the NPV using the cashflows from the different periods and using the discount rate given. Which is 18%.

We have 11 periods. Starting off with CF 0. ( CF = cashflow ) We will work in Thousands to make it easier to read and compute. $ ' 000

CF 0 Machine Investment (750) Working Capital Investment (25) Total=(775)

CF 1 160 inflow

CF 2 160 inflow

CF 3 160 inflow

CF 4 160 inflow

CF 5 160 inflow

CF 6 160 inflow

CF 7 160 inflow

CF 8 160 inflow

CF 9 160 inflow

CF 10 160 inflow

CF 11 160 inflow. 35 salvage value from machine. Working capital 25. Total Cashlow = 220

We now use our financial calculator and input these amounts into the calculator.

We start of by entering the data and hitting ENT and do so for every Cash flow. At the end we press 2nd function CFI on our calculator. We then enter the discount rate of 18%. and press down button to get to NPV and then press COMP.

We get an answer of -20,32400407

We now need to put the amount into thousands. Thus = -20324,004

rounded to the nearest dollar we get - $ 20324
