Final Finishing is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives for a new polisher. Each alternative has an expected life o

f 10 years and no salvage value. Polisher 1 requires an initial investment of $20,000 and provides annual benefits of $4,465. Polisher 2 requires an initial investment of $10,000 and provides annual benefits of $1,770. Polisher 3 requires an initial investment of $15,000 and provides annual benefits of $3,580. MARR is 15%/year.

Answer:

1. 18.09%

2. 12%

3. 20.02%  

Explanation:

As the MARR is 15%, we will accept projects which have IRR more than 15%. As the projects are mutually exclusive, we will choose only one project.

An IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the rate which makes the NPV (Net Present Value) = ZERO.

The formula to calculate IRR is: 0 = P0 + P1/(1+IRR) + P2/(1+IRR)2 + P3/(1+IRR)3 + . . . +Pn/(1+IRR)n where P0 = Initial cash outflow

And P1, . . . Pn equals the cash inflows in periods 1, 2, . . . n, respectively.      

1) IRR of project 1:

0 = -$20,000 + $4,465/(1+IRR)1 + $4,465/(1+IRR)2 + $4,465/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $4,465/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 18.09%

2) IRR of project 2:

0 = -$10,000 + $1,770/(1+IRR)1 + $1,770/(1+IRR)2 + $1,770/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $1,770/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 12%

3) IRR of project 3:

0 = -$15,000 + $3,580/(1+IRR)1 + $3,580/(1+IRR)2 + $3,580/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $3,580/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 20.02%

We will choose project 3 as it has the highest IRR.

In the long run, the competitive firm's supply curve is the a. entire marginal-cost curve. b. portion of the marginal-cost curve
Mars2501 [29]

The long run will see the supply curve of a completive firm changing to the b. portion of the marginal-cost curve that lies above the average-total-cost curve.

<h3>What is the long-run supply curve in a perfect competition?</h3>

In a perfect competition, a company will only produce goods and services at a level where the marginal cost curve is above the average total cost in the long run.

This means that the supply curve will be the marginal cost curve but only the portion of this curve that is above the long-run average total cost curve.

The reason for this is that in the long-run., all the costs in a perfectly competitive firm are considered variable and so they can afford to avoid supply mishaps in the short term.

In conclusion, option B is correct.

You have a portfolio that is invested 11 percent in Stock R, 56 percent in Stock S, and the remainder in Stock T. The beta of St
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The beta of stock T is 1.82

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is made up of the weighted average of the individual stock betas in the portfolio.

The formula for portfolio beta is,

Portfolio beta = wA * beta of A + wB * beta of B + ... + wX * beta of X

The weight of stock T in the portfolio is = 1 - (0.11 + 0.56)   = 0.33 or 33%

Let beta of Stock T be x. The beta of Stock T is:

1.47 = 0.11 * 0.84  +  0.56 * 1.39  +  0.33 * x

1.47 = 0.0924 + 0.7784 + 0.33x

1.47 - 0.0924 - 0.7784 = 0.33x

0.5992 / 0.33 = x

x = 1.815 rounded off to 1.82

When managers are flexible, creative and willing to learn from mistakes, they are addressing which aspect of emerging public iss
defon

Managers are handling complexity when they are adaptable, imaginative, and prepared to learn from mistakes.

Describe complexity.

According to the scientific theory of complexity, certain systems exhibit behavioral traits that are utterly outside the scope of any traditional examination of the system's component pieces. These phenomena, also known as emergent behavior, appear to be present in a variety of complex living organism-based systems, such as the stock market and the human brain. For instance, according to complexity theorists, a stock market crash is an emergent result of the activities of several individual investors on a complex financial system, just as human awareness is an emergent characteristic of a complex network of neurons in the brain.
