Answer:
The NPV of the project is $765.91 and option A is the correct answer.
Explanation:
To calculate the initial outlay or cost of the project, we will use the payback period of the project. The payback period is the time taken by the project's cash flows to cover up the initial cost.
A payback period of 2.5 years means that the initial cost was,
Initial cost = 2000 + 3000 + 3000 * 0.5
Initial cost = $6500
To calculate the NPV of the project, we use the following formula,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial cost
Where,
- CF1, CF2 , ... represents the cash flow in year 1, cash flow in year 2 and so on.
- r is the cost of capital
NPV = 2000 / (1+0.12) + 3000 / (1+0.12)^2 + 3000 / (1+0.12)^3 +
1500 / (1+0.12)^4 - 6500
NPV = $765.9137794 rounded off to $765.91
Answer: True
Explanation;
Generally, manufactured goods cost more than the commodity goods that they were manufactured from due to the value that has been added to them. This is what the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis argues, that commodity prices decline overtime in relation to manufacturing good prices.
This is a fate that has befallen many developing countries as many of them export commodity goods to developed countries who then add value to them, turning them into manufactured goods and then selling them back to developing countries at a higher price thereby negatively affecting their balance of trade.
