Consider a city of 200 people (100 rich and 100 poor) and two neighborhoods (100 people in each). Both groups generally prefer t

o live with rich people and are willing to pay a premium for living with a fraction of rich people that is larger than 50%. Poor people’s premium curve is given as P(poor)= 0.9x^2, where x is the percentage ofrich above 50% (e.g., if there are 52% rich, x will be 2). Rich people’s premium curve is given by P(rich)= 35x-0.1x^2. What is the equilibrium outcome? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1. Given information.

  • City of 200 people
  • 100 rich, 100 poor.

Step 2. Formulas needed to solve the exercise.

  • P(poor) = 0.9x^2
  • P(rich)= 35x-0.1x^2

Step 3. Calculation and step 4. Solution.

P(poor) = p (rich)

0.9x2 = 35x - 0.1x2

1x2 = 35x

x = 35

x is the percentage of rich above 50%, thus there are 35% rich people above 50%.

P (poor) = 1102.5

P (rich) = 1102.5

The equilibrium premium is $1,102.5

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

A group bonus system

Explanation:

In relationship-oriented cultures, group bonuses are very common, and they are not like the regular yearly bonuses given out at Christmas, specially in Japan. In Japan, there are two bonuses per year, one paid during mid-year and the other one at the end of the year. These bonuses can amount to 3-6 months worth of salary, but they are also paid to the whole group of workers. That means that either everyone in the team gets a bonus or no one does.

Relationship-oriented cultures are based upon the well being, motivation and satisfaction of the whole team.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

machine's cost = $200,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 = $240,000

useful life of 4 years

salvage value of $25,000, depreciable value = $215,000

MACRS 3-year asset:

  • 0.333 x $215,000 = $71,595
  • 0.445 x $215,000 = $95,675
  • 0.148 x $215,000 = $31,820
  • 0.074 x $215,000 = $15,910

incremental sales of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

  • 1,250 x $200 = $250,000
  • 1,250 x $206 = $257,500
  • 1,250 x $212.18 = $265,225
  • 1,250 x $218.55 = $273,188

incremental COGS of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

  • 1,250 x $100 = $125,000
  • 1,250 x $103 = $128,750
  • 1,250 x $106.09 = $132,613
  • 1,250 x $109.27 = $136,588

net working capital increases by 12% of sales revenue = $250,000 x 12% = $30,000

WACC = 10%

tax rate = 40%

initial investment = $240,000 (machine cost) + $30,000 (working capital) = $270,000

  • net cash year 1 = [($250,000 - $125,000 - $71,595) x (1 - 40%)] + $71,595 = $103,638
  • net cash year 2 = [($257,500 - $128,750 - $95,675) x (1 - 40%)] + $95,675 = $115,520
  • net cash year 3 = [($265,225 - $136,588 - $31,820) x (1 - 40%)] + $31,820 = $92,295
  • net cash year 4 = [($273,188 - $136,588 - $15,910) x (1 - 40%)] + $15,910 = $88,324 + $25,000 (salvage value) + $30,000 (net working capital) = $143,324

to calculate the present value:

PV = $103,638/1.1 + $115,520/1.1² + $92,295/1.1³ + $143,324/1.1⁴ = $94,216 + $95,471 + $69,343 + $97,892 = $356,922

NPV = $356,922 - $270,000 = $86,922
