<span>Choice (D) is the most correct. When the marginal benefit (or utility) exceeds the marginal cost, then a person would gain from consuming the good or service. However, this only continues to the point where marginal utility is increasing. When the marginal utility starts to decrease (or fall below the marginal costs), consumption should cease.</span>

Blue Co. has a patent on a communication process. The company has amortized the patent on a straight-line basis since 2014, when
raketka [301]

Answer:

Appropriate patent amortization expense = $10 million

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Annual amortization expense = Cost ÷ Time

= $36 ÷ 9

= $4 million

Year 2018 Amortization Expense 4 Years = $4 million × 4

= $16 million

Unamortized cost = $36 million - $16 million

= $20 million

Year 2018 Amortization expense 4 years = $20 million ÷ 2

= $10 million

goblinko [34]

Answer:

                                             Project A                  Project B

Initial investments               ($170,000)               ($115,000)

CF Year 1                              $42,500                  $34,500

CF Year 2                             $58,500                  $52,500

CF Year 3                             $82,795                  $68,500

CF Year 4                             $92,900                  $68,500

CF Year 5                             $67,500                  $68,500

using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function, the internal rate of return of each project is:

  • Project A's IRR = 26.02%
  • Project B's IRR = 36.31%

We can use the discount rate (12%) to calculate the projects' NPV, we do not need it to calculate their IRR:

  • Project A's NPV = $70,855
  • Project B's NPV = $88,815
