Answer:
A. the iso-quant line is tangent to the iso-cost line.
Explanation:
Cost minimization refers to the decrease in level of cost of production for certain specified level of production.
Iso quant line represents the labor and capital combinations keeping the total cost same. The least combination represents the tangent to isoquant, basically representing the idle choice of labor and capital.
In this manner the company chooses the idle way of cost minimization.
Answer:
year net cash flow
0 -$150,000
1 $80,000
2 $65,000
3 $50,000
4 $40,000
A) NPV = -$150,000 + ($80,000 x .87) + ($65,000 x .756) + ($50,000 x .658) + ($40,000 x .572) = -$150,000 + $69,600 + $49,140 + $32,900 + $22,880 = -$150,000 + $174,520 = $24,520
B) Yes , because the net present value indicates that the return on the proposal is greater than the minimum desired rate of return of 15%. Since the NPV is positive ($24,520), it means that the cash inflows are higher than the cash outflows when we use a 15% discount rate.
Answer:
the value of the stock is $21
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the stock is given below:
= Annual dividend per share ÷ required rate of return
= $2.10 ÷ 10%
= $21
Hence, the value of the stock is $21
We simply divided the annual dividend from the required rate of return so that the value of the stock could come
