Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1. Calculate each project's payback period.

Payback period packaging machine = the positive cash flows are lower than the initial outlay

Payback period molding machine = 4.45 years

2. Calculate the NPV for each project.

Using a financial calculator

NPV for packaging machine = -$4,178.24

NPV for molding machine = -$2,907.50

3. Calculate the IRR for each project.

IRR for packaging machine = -0.86%

IRR for molding machine = 3.5%

4. If the two projects are independent of each other, which projects, if any, should be selected? Explain why or why not.

None should be selected since the NPVs are negative

5. If the two projects are mutually exclusive, which project, if any, should be selected? Explain why.

None should be selected since the NPVs are negative

Answer:

GDP [Expenditure Approach] is $7,040, Depreciation is $920

Explanation:

The formula for calculating GDP [Expenditure Approach] is Consumption expenditure + Investment + Government expenditure + Exports − Imports

Mathematically,

Y = C + I + G + (X − M)

Where C = $7,000, I = $160, G = $180, (X-M) = -$300

Y = 7000 + 160 + 180 - 300 = $7,040

GDP [Expenditure Approach] is $7,040

Depreciation = GDP - NDP

NDP = wages + profits + interest + rent + net factor income of unincorporated businesses

Where wages = $5,900, profits + interest + rent = $220, net factor income from abroad = $0

NDP = 5900 + 220 + 0 = $6,120

Applying Depreciation = GDP - NDP, we have:

Depreciation = 7040 - 6120 = $920

N.B: The depreciation is a measure of the statistical discrepancy between the GDP and NDP

Degger [83]

Answer:

510,000 units

Explanation:

Note: The data in the questions are merged together and they are first separated before answering the question as follows:

Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory

Raw material 52,000 62,000

Finished goods 92,000 62,000

The explanation to the answer is as follows:

Beginning inventory of finished goods + Units of finished goods manufactured = Ending inventory of finished goods + Units of finished goods sold

Units of finished goods manufactured = Ending inventory of finished goods + Units of finished goods sold - Beginning inventory of finished goods

Therefore, we have:

Units of finished goods manufactured = 62,000 + 540,000 - 92,000 = 510,000

Consider the market for plane tickets to Hawaii. A bad winter in the mainland United States increases demand for tropical vacati

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Consumer surplus means the difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to pay and the actual market price of a product

Producer surplus means the difference between the market price and the lowest price a producer is willing to take for his product.

The addition of the two gives total surplus which is also known as economic surplus.

In economics, market price and quantity of a good are obtained when supply and demand curves intersect. The space before the intersection of the two curves is where the consumer is ready to pay higher than the price which suppliers is ready to a given quantity the good. There is therefore surplus for both of them at the market price.

If the demand curve shifts to the right while the supply curve remains constant, the market price will rise and this will lead to increase both consumer and producer surplus increase. By implication, total surplus will rise since it is the addition of both consumer and producer surplus.

Therefore, total surplus will increase if a bad winter in the mainland United States increases demand for tropical vacations, which shifts the demand curve to the right while the supply curve stays constant.

I wish you the best.
