Major Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annu

al increase in cash flow of $130,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $665,000 and have an 8-year life. The equipment has no salvage value. The hurdle rate is 8%. Ignore income taxes. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.)
a. What is the net present value?
b. What would the net present value be with a 12% hurdle rate? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Based on the NPV calculations, in what range would the equipment’s internal rate of return fall? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

a. $ 82, 063

b. - $ 19,206

c.  11.24%

Explanation:

Net Present Value is calculated by taking the Present Day (Discounted) value of all future Net Cash flows based on the company`s Cost of Capital and subtracting the Initial Cost of the Investment.

<em>Using a Financial Calculation</em>

a.

Cash flow Amount

Cf0 = ($665,000)

Cf1  = $130,000

Cf2 = $130,000

Cf3 = $130,000

Cf4 = $130,000

Cf5 = $130,000

Cf6 = $130,000

Cf7 = $130,000

Cf8 = $130,000

i = 8%

NPV = $ 82, 063

b.

Cash flow Amount

Cf0 = ($665,000)

Cf1  = $130,000

Cf2 = $130,000

Cf3 = $130,000

Cf4 = $130,000

Cf5 = $130,000

Cf6 = $130,000

Cf7 = $130,000

Cf8 = $130,000

i = 12%

NPV = - $ 19,206

c.

Internal Rate of Return = P  + ((N-P)×p/(p+n))

                                      = 8% + ((12%-8%)×$ 82, 063/($ 82, 063+ $ 19,206))

                                      = 11.24%

Dovator [93]

Answer:

3 cases

Explanation:

Marginal product refers to change in the total output when an additional input is employed. For example, output is 5 units when 2 laborers are employed. When another unit of input i.e 3rd laborer is employed, the output rises to 9 units. In this case marginal product of the 3rd unit of labor would be 9 - 5 i.e 4 units.

In the given case, before Atul is hired, the production was 4 cases per week. After his being hired, it rose to 7 cases per week. Thus Atul's marginal product in the given case would be 7 - 4 i.e 3 cases.

You are an economic advisor to the president. You observe a decrease in gross investment. Assume the economy was operating at th
melomori [17]

Answer:

a. Increase in Net Exports, Increase in AD, real GDP will stay same

b. Excess Demand

c. Appropriate Contractionary Fiscal Policy : decrease tax & or increase government expenditure

d. Actions smooth business cycle by brining actual real GDP towards full employment

Explanation:

Aggregate Demand is the total value of goods & services all the sectors of an economy are planning to buy during a given period of time

Aggregate Demand [AD] = Consumption [C] + Investment [I] + Government Expenditure [G] + Net Exports [NX = Exports (X) - Imports (M)]

Aggregate Demand > Aggregate Supply at full employment level is Excess Demand. Aggregate Demand < Aggregate Supply at full employment level is Deficit Demand

Decrease in Investment leads to fall in Aggregate Demand. It creates Deficit Demand & decreases real GDP. It can be corrected through demand expansionary fiscal policy of decreasing taxes & increasing govt. expenditure.

Increase in exports leads to increase in net exports & in turn increase in aggregate demand. This causes Excess demand problem & real GDP will remain same (economy already at full equilibrium, GDP cant be increased more). Appropriate Fiscal Policy [Contractionary Fiscal Policy] includes decreasing taxes & or increasing govt. purchase.

These actions will smooth out business cycle by bringing actual real GDP back to full employment level.

Select all that apply Benefits of small amounts of inflation include Multiple select question. more expansionary monetary policy
EleoNora [17]

Benefits of small amounts of inflation include more expansionary monetary policy, the placebo effect, and the facilitation of relative price changes.

<h3>What is meant by inflation?</h3>

Inflation is the term used to describe the rate of price rise for goods and services.

It is sometimes used to categorize inflation according to cost-push, demand-pull, and built-in factors.

The two most popular inflation measures are the Consumer Price Index and the Wholesale Price Index.

Inflation can be viewed favorably or badly depending on the perspective and rate of change.

Inflation may be advantageous for those who own tangible assets since it will raise the value of their holdings, such as real estate or goods that are kept in storage.

Inflation's primary causes include:

  • Consumer-driven inflation
  • Price-driven inflation
  • more money available
  • Devaluation
  • increasing pay
  • Regulations and policies

Benefits of Inflation: In order to meet increasing demand, production must increase. Additionally, debtors benefit from inflation because they can return their loans with funds that are less valuable than the funds they borrowed. This promotes borrowing and lending, which boosts expenditure on all levels once more.
