Answer:

The only two projects that actually yield a positive benefit are extra cameras (EC) and new sensors (NS). Since you have to decide based on which project yields the highest return, then you should choose extra cameras (EC) since its IRR is 92% which is the highest.

Explanation:

we have to determine the NPV of each project:

Extra cameras:

initial outlay = -$38,000

net benefit per year (for the 10 year period) = $110,000 - $26,000 - $49,000 = $35,000

NPV = $207,825

IRR = 92%

New sensors:

initial outlay = -$87,000

net benefit per year (for the 10 year period) = $160,000 - $21,000 - $64,000 = $75,000

NPV = $439,768

IRR = 86%

Steel tubing:

initial outlay = -$99,000

net benefit per year (for the 10 year period) = $74,000 - $32,000 - $42,000 = $0

NPV = -$99,000

Access controls:

initial outlay = -$61,000

net benefit per year (for the 10 year period) = $52,000 - $14,000 - $38,000 = $0

NPV = -$61,000

The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders
Arada [10]

Answer:  Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.

Explanation:

The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.

Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.

Agricultural output is affected by the weather. Excessively high temperatures and a lack of rainfall are detrimental too crop yi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

<u>Scenario:</u>

1. Agricultural output is affected by the weather.

2. Excessively high temperature + lack of rainfall = less crop yields.

3.  Farmers desire to maximize crop yields under the best growing conditions and accept whatever the weather offers.

4. For a particular crop, actual yield < desired yield.

<u>Solution: </u>

1. Conditions for less than desired yield to be beneficial for farmers revenue:

a) Higher market demand:  The market demand for the crop this year may be far higher than the supply since the yield is less than desired.

b) With market demand outstripping supply, price for the crop will skyrocket, according to the law of demand and supply.

c) Total revenue may become more this year, given the increased demand, less supply, and increased price per unit.

2. a) The surprising result is possible, because more people will want to buy the crop.  The total quantity they may require will be higher than the actual quantity available for sale.  The sellers will take advantage of this situation to raise the price per unit.

b) For example, yam tubers cost $2 per pound last year.  The total pounds of yam produced was 200 pounds.  The total revenue for all sellers would not exceed $400 ($2 * 200 pounds).  If the yam produced this year is 50 pounds and the price per pound is $10.  The farmers revenue will be $500 ($10 * 50 pounds).  With this hypothetical example, it can be clearly seen that total revenue increased by $100 despite the reduced crop yield.

Explanation:

What is operational here is the economic law of demand and supply.  The law states that when the demand is higher than the supply, the price will be higher.  On the other hand, when the supply is higher than the demand, the price will be lower.  Equilibrium price is achieved when demand equals supply, all things being equal.

All things are equal when there is a perfect market with information available equally to sellers and buyers.  This enables transactions to be carried out at an arm's length between knowledgeable buyers and sellers.  The implication is that buyers and sellers do not take advantage of the other party to cheat on price or act on a cartel basis.
