Answer:

PV or value of the firm = $147058.8235

Explanation:

To calculate the worth of the firm, we first need to determine the required rate of return of this firm. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the required rate of return to be,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on market

r = 0.04 + 0.4 * (0.11 - 0.04)

r = 0.068 or 6.8%

As the firm is expected to generate a constant cash flow forever, it can be treated as a perpetuity. To calculate the value of the firm, we use the present value of perpetuity. The formula for present value of perpetuity is,

PV = Cash flow / r

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return

PV or value of the firm = 10000 / 0.068

PV or value of the firm = $147058.8235

NISA [10]

Answer:

The old machine should be replaced.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the the analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.

From the attached excel file, the following calculation are made:

Variable Manufacturing cost of Retain = Initial Variable Manufacturing cost * remaining useful life of old machine = $592,600 * 5 = $2,963,000

Variable Manufacturing cost of Replace = New Variable Manufacturing cost * Remaining useful life of new machine = $505,500 * 5 = $2,527,500

From the attached excel, it can be observed that the total cost of Retain is $32,200 higher than the total cost of Replace. This therefore implies that the old machine should be replaced.

Ede4ka [16]

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.
