Net Present Value and Competing Projects For discount factors use Exhibit 12B.1 and Exhibit 12B.2. Spiro Hospital is investigati

ng the possibility of investing in new dialysis equipment. Two local manufacturers of this equipment are being considered as sources of the equipment. After-tax cash inflows for the two competing projects are as follows: Year Puro Equipment Briggs Equipment 1 $320,000 $120,000 2 280,000 120,000 3 240,000 320,000 4 160,000 400,000 5 120,000 440,000 Both projects require an initial investment of $560,000. In both cases, assume that the equipment has a life of 5 years with no salvage value. Required: Round present value calculations and your final answers to the nearest dollar. 1. Assuming a discount rate of 14%, compute the net present value of each piece of equipment. Puro equipment: $ Briggs equipment: $ 2. A third option has surfaced for equipment purchased from an out-of-state supplier. The cost is also $560,000, but this equipment will produce even cash flows over its 5-year life. What must the annual cash flow be for this equipment to be selected over the other two

Answer:

1. Assuming a discount rate of 14%, compute the net present value of each piece of equipment.

  • Puro equipment: $255,203
  • Briggs equipment: $318,944

2. A third option has surfaced for equipment purchased from an out-of-state supplier. The cost is also $560,000, but this equipment will produce even cash flows over its 5-year life. What must the annual cash flow be for this equipment to be selected over the other two

  • $256,021

Explanation:

Year      Puro Equipment       Briggs Equipment

0             -$560,000                    -$560,000

1               $320,000                      $120,000

2              $280,000                      $120,000

3              $240,000                      $320,000

4               $160,000                      $400,000

5               $120,000                      $440,000

I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate the NPVs

the PV of the third equipment's annual cash flow should be higher than $878,944  (PV of Brigg's cash flows = $560,000 + $318,944)

now I used a annuity table: annuity factor for 5 years and 14% is 3.4331

cash flow x 3.4331 ≥ $878,944

cash flow ≥ $878,944 / 3.4331 = $256,021

Andreyy89

Answer:

$112.425

Explanation:

breakeven is

first we need to understand the concept of breakeven:

breakeven in sales makes reference to the amount of revenue in dollars at which a company has a profit of zero ($0.00). covering the underlying fixed expenses of a busines

with this concept we have that :

Total Costs   = fixed annual operating cost + variable cost + sold units

Revenue = Total Costs

14.99 * sold units = 75,000 + 4.99 * units

10 * sold units = 75,000

breakeven  = 7,500  units

now we can have the breakeven in dollars doing the convertion

breakeven = breakeven in units * prices

breakeven= 7,500 units * $14.99/unit  

breakeven = $112,425

Suppose Antonio and Caroline are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff ma
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: See explanation column for answer

Explanation:

                                Caroline

                           left           Right

Anthonio   left   6,6             6,3

                  Right  4,3            5,5

The first digits in both left and right  is Anthonio's best response payoff given what Caroline chooses. Also, the second digit on both left and right is Caroline's best response payoff  based on what Anthonio chooses.

When Antonio chooses left, Caroline should choose left so as to get a payoff of 6, also when Antonio chooses right, Caroline chooses right to get a payoff of 5. therefore, there is no dominant strategy for Caroline.

The dominant strategy for Antonio occurs  

When Caroline chooses left, Antonio will have to choose left to get a payoff of 6, also when  Caroline chooses right, Antonio should choose left to get a payoff of 6. So, the dominant strategy for Antonio is to choose left.

The only dominant strategy in this game is for Antonio, to choose left.

b).  For Nash Equilibrum, Antonio will have to choose his dominant strategy, that is to choose left, which will make  Caroline is to choose left so as to get a payoff of 6. So, the Nash equilibrium is for Antonio to choose <u>left </u>and caroline chooses<u> left</u> too
