Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $500

Number of months= 50

Monthly interest rate= 0.07/12= 0.00583

First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= cash flow

FV= {500*[(1.00583^50) - 1]} / 0.00583

FV= $28,928.06

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 28,928.06/(1.00583^50)

PV= $21,631.67

This is a case of forward integration because BlockWood Inc., which was facing similar difficulties with other buyers too, eventually stopped supplying raw materials and took to manufacturing furniture instead. SO they decided to fabricate their own furniture.

Companies make this decision as a process of vertical integration to expand and grow their business. In this case to produce and control their own products, eliminating the retailer that had decided to pay less money for the raw materials.
