Answer: Alternative 3 will be selected.

Explanation:

The system that should be selected is the alternative that is better than the other alternatives by being higher than MARR if selected.

First compare A1 to A0

The rate of return here is 18% which is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 1 should be chosen over A0 which is to do nothing.

Compare A1 to A2

If A2 is chosen over A1, the incremental return is 10% which is less than the MARR of 15% so A2 should not be chosen over A1. A1 should instead be chosen over A2.

Compare A1 to A3

If A3 is chosen over A1 then the incremental return would be 18%. This is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 3 should be chosen over Alternative 1.

Alternative 3 should be chosen over A1 which should be chosen over A2 and A0.

A3 will therefore be selected.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

(I) Price elasticity = 1/6

(II) the $2.5 price gives the higher revenue: 1,250

Explanation:

(I) price elasticity

E_s =\frac{\frac{Q2 - Q1}{(Q2+Q1)/2}}{\frac{P2 - P1}{(P2+P1)/2}}

↑Q (500 - 300)/((500+ 300) / 2)

↑Q 200 / (800/2) =  200/400 = 1/2

↑P (3.5 - 2.5)/((3.5+2.5)/2)

↑P 1/(6/2) = 1/3

Es = \frac{1/2}{1/3}  = 1/6

(II) total revenue

3.5 x 300 = 1,050

2.5 x 500 = 1,250

Poder Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback?Year 0 1 2 3Cash flows
boyakko [2]

Answer:

c. 2.36 years

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

In year 0 = $750

In year 1 = $300

In year 2 = $325

In year 3 = $350

If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $625

Now we deduct the $625 from the $750 , so the amount would be $125 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $350

So, the payback period equal to

= 2 years + ($125 ÷ $350)

= 2.36 years

In 2.36 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.
