Mattice Corporation is considering investing $720,000 in a project. The life of the project would be 11 years. The project would
require additional working capital of $22,000, which would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The annual net cash inflows would be $154,000. The salvage value of the assets used in the project would be $32,000. The company uses a discount rate of 18%. (Ignore income taxes) Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 128-2 to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided Required Compute the net present value of the project. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answer:
The Project should be rejected.
The Net present value is lower than zero. Meaning the returns on the investment yields a loss, as we are not able to cover our initial investments.
Explanation:
The Present value of the inflow and outflow should be considered before deciding the viability of the project.
Using the Net Present Value approach, we will want to consider against the outflows and at a certain cost of capital/rate of return if this projects meets at least the minimum threshold of breaking even. At this point the net cash flow would be at least zero for the project to be accepted.

Answer: Correct. When there is an increase in supply and an increase in demand, the new equilibrium quantity increases but whether the equilibrium price increases or decreases is unknown.
Explanation:
When the demand for the shoes increased, it had the effect of shifting the demand curve to the right. At the same time, with six more firms coming into the market, the supply increased as well which had the effect of shifting the supply curve right as well.
The new equilibrium as a result of these movements will see the quantity increase. However, due to the shift of both the supply and the demand curve in the same direction, it is uncertain if the price will change or not.
The general rule is that if the rise in supply is more than rise in demand then the price will decrease. If they rise by the same amount then price will remain the same. It shows therefore that if both supply and demand rise at the same time, the effect on equilibrium price is unknown.
