Answer:

NPV = $-1,225.37

No. The return is less than 14%, because the net present value is negative

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-13,000

Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = 420

Cash flow in year 3 = $420 + $16,000 = $16,420.

I = 14%

NPV = $-1,225.37

The return is less than 14%, because the net present value is negative

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Smith Jones Inc.'s stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If seve

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Small individual investors will benefit the most.

Explanation:

From the case given, it can be established that small individual investors represent the bulk of shareholders or business owners.

Also, from Smith Jones stock, we see that Pension and Mutual Fund constitute a bulk in the share position, and the direct intervention of shareholders motivate the management.

From the foregoing analysis, the shareholders holders have thus seek to incorporate corporate governance in the organization as a tool to reduce the agency problem between business owners and management. By this, management objectives and the shareholders could be aligned. The business owners singular objective is the profit maximization of their wealth, while the management is interested in their job security, status, mutual funds, pension and all. Since this objective of management has been duly taken care of by the shareholders, it is believer that this will boost the management morale and ultimately improve their performance. The result is thus increase in organisational performance with resultant growth in profit, share price and returns from the business. These are benefits to the individual investors.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The crabs are a Common Good. They means can run out of supply if their use gets too much by society. Therefore, the decline of the Alaska king crab fishery can be explained by stating that the plenty types of boats such as those from California and Japan, has caused people to overfish, excessive fishing has brought about a decline in the supply of crabs.

b. There are 2 ways to avoid this

1. fishing permits have to be sold to the fishermen coming to fish for the crabs. Then the persons with the highest willingness to pay will come and buy the permits to fish.

2. Issuing just a particular amount of permits this would cause the fishermen to trade these permits. These open-market strategies have proved to be effective in organizing economic activity and are good stimulators in an economy.

c. They have been successful because regulations have been placed on fishing by the government. Also, if there are restrictions on other countries using up their spots and Canadians are the only ones fishing salmon, then there will be reduction in the decay rate of the population of the salmon, the salmon can easily repopulate, then Canadians would be able to come back the next year to fish again..
