Answer:

The firm should: ___________

c. Reject the project because the NPV is negative $120,921

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Pro Forma Income Statement:

Sales           $237,000

Total Cost      137,000

Depreciation 100,000

EBIT              $0

Taxes             0

Net income $0

Cost of machine = $500,000

Required rate of return = 10%

Annual revenue from new machine = $237,000

Annual operational costs = $137,000

Annual net cash flow = $100,000

Depreciation expense = $100,000

Annuity factor at 10% for 5 years = 3.791

PV Annuity of $100,000 = $100,000 * 3.791 = $379,100

NPV = $379,100 - $500,000 = $120,900

b) The Net present value of the project is $120,900 (the difference between the total present value of cash inflow of $379,100 and the initial cash outflow of $500,000).

Private brands are normally run by a small group of people making and selling. Over a large company or international brands who are more focused on marketing and making more money then they put into their product and pour their money into factory and factory employees to make their products for them. Which would result in making the quality and details not as paid attention to as a private brand would focus on.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:substitution

Explanation:The substitution bias is a weakness in the Consumer Price Index that overstates inflation because it does not account for the substitution effect, when consumers choose to substitute one good for another after its price becomes cheaper than the good they normally buy.

when the price of a product in the consumer basket increases substantially, consumers tend to substitute lower-priced alternatives.
