Answer:

both companies should invest because the NPV of both companies are positive

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.  

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = - $8.4 million

Cash flow in year 1-7 =  $2.2 million

NPV of Lester with I of 15.8% = 0.54 million

NPV of Med Inc with I of 13.7% = 1.12 million

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Batches of apples produced in one hour = 35/100 = 0.35

Batches of peaches produced in one hour = 70/100 = 0.70

total hours it would take to produce 15 batches of apples = 15 / 0.35 = 42.86 =  43 hours

this would leave (100 - 43) 57 hours to make peaches

Batches of peaches that can be made in 43 hours = 57 x 0.7 = 39.9 = 40 batches
