Answer:

The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21

Explanation:

The equivalent today of the 950,000 would be the future value compounded at 7% per year.

FV =  PV × (1+r)^n

FV - ?, PV - value 4 years ago, n- number of years, r- rate of return

PV - 950,000, n- 4, r-7%

FV = 950,000 ×(1.07^4)=  1,245,256.21  

The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21

soldi70 [24.7K]

B7= 0.23*600,000= 138,000

K6= 0.50*600,000= 300,000

X9= 0.27*600,000= 162,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ferrier Chemical Company makes three products, B7, K6, and X9, which are joint products from the same materials. In a standard batch of 150,000 pounds of raw materials, the company generates 35,000 pounds of B7, 75,000 pounds of K6, and 40,000 pounds of X9. A standard batch costs $600,000 to produce.

weighted average:

B7= 35,000/150,000= 0.23

K6= 75,000/150,000= 0.5

X9= 40,000/150,000= 0.27

Allocated cost:

B7= 0.23*600,000= 138,000

K6= 0.50*600,000= 300,000

X9= 0.27*600,000= 162,000

Two companies share a market, in which they currently make $5,000,000 each. Both need to determine whether they should advertise
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Two Companies. We shall call them A and B.

If A and B decide not to advertise, they both get $5,000,000.

If A advertises and B does not then A captures $3 million from B at a cost of $2 million meaning their payoff would be,

= 5 million - 2 million + 3 million

= $6 million.

A will have $6 million and B will have $2 million as $3 million was captured from them. This scenario holds true if B is the one that advertises and A does not.

If both of them Advertise, they both reduce their gains by $2 million while capturing $3 million from each other so they'll essentially both have just $3 million if they both decide to advertise.

With the above scenarios, it is better for both companies to ADVERTISE if there is NO COLLUSION. This is because it ensures that they do not get the lowest payoff of $2 million if the other company decides to advertise and they do not.

However, if they DO COLLUDE. They must both decide that NONE of them SHOULD ADVERTISE and this would leave them with their original $5 million each which is a higher payoff than the $3 million they will both receive if they were both advertising.
