The market mechanism benefits the community where the public can know the price of the product by the demand and supply so that the community can determine what products will be purchased in which the market mechanism will make the demand and supply prices balanced.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

The market mechanism is the tendency in a free market for a price to change until the market becomes balanced (the amount offered is the same as the amount requested).

1. Request

Demand is the desire of consumers to buy an item at various price levels over a certain period, which is accompanied by a willingness and ability to buy the item.

The law of demand reads: "The higher the price of an item, the less the number of goods requested or sold and vice versa".

2. Offer

Offer is the number of goods that producers want to offer (sell) at various price levels during a certain period.

The law of the offer reads: "if the price goes up, then the amount offered also goes up and vice versa".

A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows:

Murrr4er [49]

Answer: MIRR (project x ) = 3.42% , Project Y = 4.51%

Explanation:

Modified internal Rate of return

Project X

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $100 year 1 , $280 year 2 , 370 year 3 ,$700 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = 100/(1+0.08)^1 + 280/(1+0.08)^2 + 370/(1+0.08)^3 + $700/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 95.592592593 + 240.05486968 + 293.71792918 + 514.5208969

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $1143.8862884

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[4]{\frac{1143.8862884}{10000} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.034178971

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 3.41789971 = 3.42%

Project Y

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $1100 year 1 , $110 year 2 , $50 year 3 ,$55 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = $1100/(1+0.08)^1 + $110/(1+0.08)^2 + $50/(1+0.08)^3 + $55/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 1018.5185185 + 94.307270233 + 39.691612051 + 40.42641904

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $10192.9438198

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[4]{\frac{1192.9438198}{10000} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.0450931421

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = = 4.50931421 = 4.51%

= $11,720,000-$370,000-$175,000

= $11,175,000

Hence the Net sales last year for Lang Company is $11,175,000
