Explanation: When the price of gold an input used in the production of processors increases, it leads to a rise in the cost of producing processors. As a result of this, producers will cut down their production and decrease supply. The supply curve for processors will shift upward to the left from S1 to S2 leading to a rise in the price of processors from P1 to P2 and a fall in the quantity of processors being sold in the market from Q1 to Q2.
Answer:
A. 2 years
B. 86.96
C. 16.46%
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time taken to recoup the initial investment made on a project.
The net present value substracts the present value of tax adjusted cash flows from the amount invested in the project.
Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:
Cash flow for year 0 = -500
Cash flow for year 1 = 300
Cash flow for year 2 = 200
Cash flow for year 3 = 150
Interest rate = 6%
NPV = $86.96
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the tax adjusted cash flows from a project to the original amount invested.
Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:
Cash flow for year 0 = -500
Cash flow for year 1 = 300
Cash flow for year 2 = 200
Cash flow for year 3 = 150
Interest rate = 6%
IRR = 16.46%
