A company has the opportunity to take over a redevelopment project in an industrial area of a city. No immediate investment is r

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

1-a. The are multiple IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. Rate of return = 7.58%

2. This is NOT a good investment because the NPV is negative.

Explanation:

Note: The estimated Net Cash Flow for the 4th year in the data is erroneously stated in the question as a positive value instead as a negative value since it is a cost.

The estimated net cash flows correctly before answering the question as follows:

Year End Net Cash Flow

1 $500,000

2 $300,000

3 $100,000

4 –$2,400,000

5 $150,000

6 $200,000

7 $250,000

8 $300,000

9 $350,000

10 $400,000

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

1-a. Tabulate the PW versus the interest rate and determine whether multiple IRRs exist.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the tabulation of the PW versus the interest rate.

From Part 1-a of the attached excel file, it can be observed that multiple IRRs exist. This is because there two IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. If so, use the ERR method when e 8% per year to determine a rate of return.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the calculation of total future value of income when e = 8% per year.

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost not income. Therefore,

From attached excel, we have:

Total Future Value of Income = $3,661,508.81

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost (not income) of $2,400,000. Therefore, it future value is not calculated. However, the present of the cost can be calculated as follows:

Present value of cost in year 4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + e)^4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + 8%)^4 = $1,764,071.65

The rate of return can now be calculated as follows:

Rate of return = ((Total Future Value of Income / Present value of cost in year 4)^(1/Number of period)) - 1 = (($3,661,508.81 / $1,764,071.65)^(1/10)) - 1 = 0.0758, or 7.58%

2. Use the PW method and a MARR of 18% to determine whether this is a good investment.

Note: See Part 2 of the attached excel file for the calculation of net present value (NPV).

From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:

Net present value = –$21,043.15

Since the net present value is negative, this implies that this is NOT a good investment.

During a recession, a number of workers have their hours reduced by their employers. All else the same, the unemployment rate wi

devlian [24]

Incomplete question. I answered from a general economic standpoint.

Answer:

stay the same; decrease

Explanation:

Remember, in this scenario, it wasn't as though the mentioned workers lost their jobs, they only had their hours reduced by their employers; so they are not unemployed. This, therefore, implies that the unemployment rate will stay the same.

The labor force participation rate in simple words refers to the percentage of those who are currently employed or looking for a job within an economy. If the working hours are reduced, it may diminish the zeal among the workforce of an economy to work or find work because they may perceive they''ll earn less.

Game design:

Incorporates the feedback of users to make better games.
Is quite iterative.
Requires that many different people from different careers work in different teams.

Game design is a STEM career because it requires people with expertise in science, technology, and engineering. It would be false to say that these careers are not present in game design.

In conclusion, option B is correct.

garri49 [273]

Answer: Matched pairs design

Explanation:

A matched pairs design is a type of study used when 2 treaments are present in an experiment. The individuals in the design can be divided into pairs using a blocking variable, and each pair can then be allocated to treatments at random. This is thus a special type of randomized block design.

In this case the blocking variable can be the various urban areas as 1968 is matched against 1972. Each city can be compared based on 2 measurements. From their each individual can be grouped into pairs and allocated to different treatments.

A decrease in the demand for eggs due to changes in consumer tastes, accompanied by a decrease in the supply of eggs as a result

Mariana [72]

Answer:

a decrease in the equilibrium quantity of eggs; the equilibrium price may increase or decrease

Explanation:

Here are the options

a decrease in the equilibrium quantity of eggs and no change in the equilibrium price.

a decrease in the equilibrium quantity of eggs; the equilibrium price may increase or decrease.

a decrease in the equilibrium price of eggs; the equilibrium quantity may increase or decrease.

a decrease in the equilibrium price of eggs and no change in the equilibrium quantity.

Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.

Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :

1. a change in consumers' expectation

2. a change in the taste of consumers

3. a change in income

A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.

Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :

1. A change in the price of input

2. A change in the number of suppliers

3. Government regulations

A decrease in the demand for eggs would lead to a leftward shift of the demand curve for eggs. Price and quantity would fall as a result.

a decrease in the supply of eggs would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve for eggs. Price would increase and quantity would fall.

Taking these two effects together, there would be a fall in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price can either rise or fall depending on if demand or supply has a greater effect.
