Answer:

a. $0.09

b. $0

c. -$0.09

Explanation:

Real rate = Nominal rate - inflation rate

a. Real rate = 2% - 1%

= 1%

Change in real wage = 9 * 1% = $0.09

b. = 2% -2% = 0%

Change in real wage = 9 * 0% = 0

c. = 2% - 3%

= -1%

Change in real wage = 9 * -1% = -$0.09

Projects A and B are mutually exclusive and have an initial cost of $82,000 each. Project A provides cash inflows of $34,000 a y
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

If discount rate is 11.7% Project B should be accepted.

If discount rate is 13.5% both projects should be rejected

Explanation:

If the Net present value of Project A is higher than that of project B, we will accept project A and vice versa.

<u>Under 11.7% Discount Rate</u>

Net Present Value-Project A = -82000 + 34000 / 1.117  +  34000 / 1.117²  +   34000 / 1.117³  = $85.099

Net Present Value-Project B = -82000 + 115000 / 1.117³ = $516.029

Project B should be accepted as it has a higher NPV.

<u />

<u>Under 13.5% Discount Rate</u>

Net present Value-Project A = -82000 + 34000 / 1.135 + 34000 / 1.135² + 34000 / 1.135³   = - $2397.49

Net Present Value-Project B = -82000 + 115000 / 1.135³  = - $3347.91

Both projects should be rejected as both have negative NPVs

Which of the following is an advantage of the corporate form of business when compared to sole proprietorships and partnerships?
Rudiy27

Answer:

D. Limited Partnership

Explanation:

Sole proprietorship is business owned , run & managed by single owner. Partnership is a business owned , run & managed by small group of people - deciding to share its profits .

Entrepreneurs in these have Unlimited Liability on personal assets, in case business assets are insufficient to settle business liabilities .

Corporation is a separate legal entity, distinct from its huge group of owners , guided by a board of directors. In case of any claim / sue case : it is against corporate entity & not the people, so they don't have any unlimited liability risk on personal assets to fulfil company's claims .

Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.3 milli
laiz [17]

Answer:

a)

MACRS 3 year depreciation schedule

33.33% x $2,300,000 = $766,590

44.45% x $2,300,000 = $1,022,350

14.81% x $2,300,000 = $340,630

carrying value at end of year 3 = $170,430

net after tax cash flow from salvage value = $210,000 - [($210,000 - $170,430) x 22%] = $201,294.60

cash flows:

year 0 = -$2,300,000 - $270,000 = -$2,570,000

year 1 = [($1,720,000 - $628,000 - $766,590) x 0.78] + $766,590 = $1,020,410

year 2 = [($1,720,000 - $628,000 - $1,022,350) x 0.78] + $1,022,350 = $1,076,677

year 3 = [($1,720,000 - $628,000 - $340,630) x 0.78] + $340,630 + $201,294.60 + $270,000 = $1,397,993

b)

NPV = $297,794, and IRR = 16.12%

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Price skimming.

Explanation:

Price skimming is a pricing strategy in which an organization gradually lowers it's selling price after initially charging it's customers a high price in order to attract more price-sensitive customers. It is mostly used by a first-mover who faces lesser competition in business.

In this scenario, Cosmeticon had no competitors in that segment of the Indian cosmetics market, so it set a very high price for its products in order to reach the premium, price-insensitive segment of the market.
