Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.

Answer:
$1 or 100% of the tax
Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.
The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.
Answer:
335.43 million gallons
Explanation:
price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price
PED = -1.9% / 10% = -0.19, very inelastic
expected price increase $0.40
% change in price = ($3.45 - $3.05) / $3.05 = 13.11%
% change in quantity demanded:
-0.19 = D / 13.11%
D = 2.49%
quantity demanded will decrease by 2.49%, from 344 million gallons to 335.43 million gallons
Answer:
On the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost
Explanation:
Given that:
- Daily operating costs of $500
- Purchasing cost for the item: $10,000
- Lease amount: $700
Let x is the number of days the purchase cost be the same as the lease cost. As we now that:
The total cost should be equal to the total lease received
<=> 10,000 + 500x = 700x
<=> 200x = 10000
<=> x = 50
Hence, on the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost
