What basic economic question helps determine the career path of individuals?

We are evaluating a project that costs $1.68 million, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is

Answer:

Best-Case Worst-Case

NPV NPV

PV of cash inflows $2,897,706 $3,187,477

PV of project cost $1,680,000 $1,848,000 ($1,680,000 * 1.1)

NPV $1,217,706 $1,339,477

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial project cost = $1.68 million

Project's estimated life = 6 years

Salvage value = $0

Depreciation expense = $280,000 ($1.68 million/6)

Income Statement:

Sales revenue (90,000 * $37.95) = $3,415,500

Cost of goods sold:

Variable cost (90,000 * $23.20) = 2,088,000

Gross profit = $1,327,500

Fixed costs = 815,000

Income before tax = $512,500

Income tax (21% of $512,500) = 107,625

Net income = $404,875

Add depreciation expense 280,000

Annual cash inflows = $684,875

PV annuity factor for 6 years at 11% = 4.231

PV of annual cash inflows of $684,875= $2,897,706 ($684,875 * 4.231)

Annual cash inflows = $753,363 ($684,875 * 1.1)

PV of annual cash inflows of $753,363 = $3,187,477 ($753,363 * 4.231)

Jenny has a degree in social work and is looking for her first job out of college. It is most important to her that she have a j

kondaur [170]

Remark
If Jenny takes option A by a month later between people's problems and her late nights working, she's going to be completely worn out, but her student loan will begin to get paid off. That's a plus.

If she takes B she does not get the career fulfillment that she wants. No job is perfect and that student loan is like a massive weight around her neck. She could do volunteer work on the weekends.

C is completely out of the question. She's piling debt on debt. If she meets with one of life's catastrophes, she will be in real trouble. C is not an option at all.

D
D to me is an option. Working with kids, she will discover, is career advancement enough. If she get's tenure, she's set.

Based on just what is in the question and nothing more, I would pick D. If you are allowed to add circumstances then B is a good choice. Depends on what kind of questions you had before. I'll stick with D, but it depends on what your marker is like. A machine is merciless and expects only one answer. A person might let you say something and give you credit for what you say.

D<<<< answer.

The supply and demand curves show data for trendy smartphone covers. How would the graph change if the producer hired a popular

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: The correct answer is option B; Add D2 to the right of D, showing an increase in demand and increase in equilibrium price.

Explanation: The demand for a commodity is usually affected either positively or negatively by some factors or determinants. Foremost among the factors of demand is price of the commodity. Other factors include;

(a) Price of substitute commodities

(b) Consumers preferences

(c) Population

(d) Weather conditions

(e) Advertising

In the question above, the use of a popular actor as the spokesperson of the product is a form of advertising that is intended to improve upon the perception of the commodity and hence encourage consumers to buy more of it. If the popular personality endorses a product, there is an almost one hundred percent likelihood that consumers would see the product as a preferred choice and this would cause the demand to go up or increase.

An increase in the market demand would be signified by the outward shift of the demand curve to the right from D to D2. Since the x-axis shows the quantity demanded increasing towards the right hand side, then an increase in market demand would be reflected by a shift of the demand curve to the right.

As a result of that, the price would now move from P to P2 which shows an increase in equilibrium price. Also the quantity demanded would move from Q to Q2 which also indicates an increase in demand.

The price of Chive Corp. stock will be either $86 or $119 at the end of the year. Call options are available with one year to ex

Oliga [24]

Answer and Explanation:

a). Step 1: Calculate the option value at expiration based upon your assumption of a 50% chance of increasing to $119 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $86.

The two possible stock prices are:

S+ = $119 and S– = $86. Therefore, since the exercise price is $85, the corresponding two possible call values are:

Cu= $34 and Cd= $1.

Step 2: Calculate the hedge ratio:

(Cu– Cd)/(uS0– dS0) = (34 – 1)/(119 – 86) = 33/33 = 1

Step 3: Form a riskless portfolio made up of one share of stock and one written calls. The cost of the riskless portfolio is:

(S0– C0) = 97 – C0

and the certain end-of-year value is $86.

Step 4: Calculate the present value of $86 with a one-year interest rate of 5%:

$86/1.05 = $81.90

Step 5: Set the value of the hedged position equal to the present value of the certain payoff:

$97 – C0= $81.90

C0 = $97 - $81.90 = $15.10

b). Step 1: Calculate the option value at expiration based upon your assumption of a 50% chance of increasing to $119 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $86.

The two possible stock prices are:

S+ = $119 and S– = $86. Therefore, since the exercise price is $115, the corresponding two possible call values are:

Cu= $4 and Cd= $0.

Step 2: Calculate the hedge ratio:

(Cu– Cd)/(uS0– dS0) = (4 – 0)/(119 – 86) = 4/33

Step 3: Form a riskless portfolio made up of four shares of stock and thirty three written calls. The cost of the riskless portfolio is:

(4S0– 33C0) = 4(97) – 33C0 = 388 - 33C0

and the certain end-of-year value is $86.

Step 4: Calculate the present value of $86 with a one-year interest rate of 5%:

$86/1.05 = $81.90

Step 5: Set the value of the hedged position equal to the present value of the certain payoff:

$388 – 33C0= $81.90

33C0 = $388 - $81.90

C0 = $306.10 / 33 = $9.28
