Answer:

a) Identify which project should the company accept based on NPV method.

  • Project 2 has a higher NPV = $98,960

b) Identify which project should the company accept based on simple pay back method if the payback criteria is maximum 2 years.

  • Project 2 has a shorter payback period = 2 years and 5 months

c) Which project Giant Machinery should choose if two methods are in conflict.

  • If two projects are in conflict, then you must choose the project based on their NPV.

Explanation:

                              Project 1      Project 2

Cost                      $175, 000    $185 ,000

Future Cash Flows

Year 1                     $76,000    $83,000

Year 2                    $67,000    $65,000

Year 3                    $55,000    $87,000

Year 4                    $78,000    $69,000

Year 5                    $65,000    $57,000

NPV:

Project 1 = -175000 + 76000/1.09 + 67000/1.09² + 55000/1.09³ + 78000/1.09⁴ + 65000/1.09⁵ = $91,090

Project 2 = -185000 + 83000/1.09 + 65000/1.09² + 87000/1.09³ + 69000/1.09⁴ + 57000/1.09⁵ = $98,960

Payback:

Project 1 = -175000 - 76000 - 67000 = 32000 after 2 years, then 32000 / 55000 = 7 months

Project 2 = -185000 - 83000 - 65000 =  37000 after 2 years, then 37000 / 87000 = 5 months

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

price-taking assumption.

free entry assumption.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is one in which different firms compete for consumers of their products. The characteristics of the perfectly competitive market are:

- products are nearly identical

- all the firms are price takers. That is they are not able to determine price independently

- buyer knowledge of information about products is perfect and available to all

- free entry and exit to the market

- resources are perfectly mobile

In the given scenario above two of these rules are not obeyed.

Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world.

So they determine the price ( they are not price takers)

Also since they own nearly all the aluminium reserves there is no free entry for new firms
