Answer:
The closest answer is option A,$7649
Explanation:
The net present value of the investment is the present value of annual cost savings minus the initial cost of investment.
present of cash flow=cash flow/(1+r)^n
r is the discount rate of 12%
n is the year the cash flow relates to ,for instance year zero for the initial investment
NPV=-$54,000+$16,000/(1+12%)^1+$16,000/(1+12%)^2+$16,000/(1+12%)^3+$16,000/(1+12%)^4+($16,000+$7,000)/(1+12%)^5=$ 7,648.41
note that the project gives $7,000 in salvage value in year 5
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous. An example of a public good is a statue in a public park Everyone has assess to the statue and because one person is enjoying the view of the statue does not means another person cannot enjoy the view of the statue
Answer:
-The technology that is available for the market.
- The nature of the products
Explanation:
Latest technology often able to produce larger amount of products with significantly lower time. This will help reduce the overall cost of production in the long run. Business owner need to consider this and calculate whether the initial investment that needed to be made to install the technology will worth the value in the long run.
Nature of the products consisted of all the characteristics that our products process. For example food products tend to not have a long shelf life unlike fashion product. This difference in characteristics influence the type of production method that business owners could implement.
For example, It is impossible for business owners to mass produce produce food products with the expectation that it can maintain their quality in the warehouse, but producer of fashion products could make that expectation.
Answer:
b) 100 cars per day.
Explanation:
With the information above, we can conclude that each worker washes 20 cars per day, and earns a wage of $60 per day.
So the total labor costs per day is $60 wage per worker X 4 workers = $240
The total sales revenue per day is: 80 cars washed per day X $5 per wash = $400.
So, we can see that with four workers, the firm has a good profit of = $400 - $240 = $160.
If the firm hired a fifth worker, labor costs would increase to $320 ($240 + $60), the amount of cars washed would increase to 100, and the sales revenue would increase to $500 (100 x $5).
So, profits would increase to $180 ($500 - $320) if the firm hired a fifth worker.
However, productivity should still be stable, so a worker who washed less than 20 cars per day should not be hired, this is why the A option is wrong.
