romanna [79]

Answer:

We see that Prog A will give an annual CF of 75%*$6000 = $4500

Prog B will give annual CF of 95%*$6000 = $5700

Disc Rate Kd = 20%

So PV of Annuity of $1 for 5 yrs with Kd = 20% is 2.9906

So NPV of Prog A = CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -12000+2.9906*4500 = $1,458

So NPV of Prog B= CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -20000+2.9906*5700 = $(2,954)

So Prog A is more effective as it gives a Positive NPV

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Costs

where :

Sales = 2,700 units x $664 = $1,792,800

Variable Costs = Costs of Goods Sold + Variable Selling Costs + Variable Administrative Cots

= 2,700 units x $405 + 2,700 units x $48 + 2,700 units x $13

= $1,258,200

therefore,

Contribution margin = $1,792,800 - $1,258,200 = $534,600

I am trying to understand the Opportunity cost. Can anyone help me please? I can't seem to get Economics, I really need help. Yo

sesenic [268]

Basically "Opportunity cost" is what you're going to lose (or have a potential to lose) if you chose a different action than what you're presented with. In the example, you're working for $15 an hour, but if you decide instead to skip a pratrice to go to the fair you're losing out of the $15 an hour you'll be paid and have to pay $9 to go to the fair. All total, you're opportunity costs for that will be $24 (fifteen you would have made plus the nine dollar fee.) This is also assuming, of course, they don't fire/dock you for just skipping work.
