Answer:

1. Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

2. Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

3. I would recommend that company accept Project B.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the requirement are omitted. The requirements are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Perit Industries has $135,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are:

                                                                       Project A           Project B

Cost of equipment required                         $ 135,000                $ 0

Working capital investment required                 $ 0               $ 135,000

Annual cash inflows                                       $ 25,000           $ 63,000

Salvage value of equipment in six years        $ 9,800                $ 0

Life of the project 6 years 6 years

The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 17%.

Required:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Cost of equipment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $25,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $89,729.62

The present value (PV) of the salvage value can be calculated as follows:

PV of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $9,800 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $3,820.42

Net present value of Project A = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of salvage value - Cost of equipment required = $89,729.62 + $3,820.42 - $135,000 = -41,449.96

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Working capital investment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $63,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $226,118.64

The present value (PV) of the Working capital investment required can be calculated as follows:

PV of Working capital investment required = Working capital investment required / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $135,000 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $52,628.21

Net present value of Project B = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of Working capital investment required - Working capital investment required = = $226,118.64 + $52,628.21 - $135,000 = $143,746.85

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

From parts 1 and 2 above, we have:

Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

Since the Net present value of Project A is negative, it should be rejected.

Since the Net present value of Project B is positive, it should be accepted.

Therefore, I would recommend that company accept Project B.

You have been asked to appraise the market value of a three-bedroom house with two bathrooms that is going to be sold tomorrow.
Vladimir [108]

Answer: $252,000

Explanation:

Property worth $275,000, 4 weeks ago had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

House to be appraised has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms meaning it has one less bathroom than the other house.

Value of bathroom is $15,000 so;

= 275,000 - 15,000

= $260,000

House to be appraised was worth $260,000 4 weeks ago.

Prices have been reducing at $2,000 per week for four weeks.

= 2,000 * 4

= 8,000

Value of house = 260,000 - 8,000

= $252,000

yaroslaw [1]
Six sigma is a philosophy and set of methods companies use to eliminate defects in their products and processes<span>. It also seeks to reduce variation in the processes that lead to product defects. It measures quality, process for Continuous Improvement and enabler for culture change so culturally six sigma means companies must learn how to be nearly flawless in executing key processes and achieving business imperatives. Quantitatively six sigma means the average process generates no more than 3.4 defects per million. Therefore, based on the figures given above the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 15, 333 and the defective rate us 1.533% and the passed rate is 98.467%.</span>

20. Which of the following is not a difference between monopolies and perfectly competitive markets? a. Monopolies can earn prof
Naily [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market has a large number of buyers and sellers. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by the market forces. Thus the monopoly firms face a horizontal demand curve. This horizontal line represents price, average revenue, and marginal revenue. The equilibrium is obtained where price, (average revenue and marginal revenue) is equal to marginal cost. There is no restriction on entry and exit of firms in the long run. That's why firms face a break-even in the long run.  

While in a monopoly market there is a single firm. This firm fixes price higher than marginal cost. The demand curve of the monopoly is a downward sloping showing relatively elastic demand. A monopoly firm can earn profits in both the short run as well as the long run.
