Answer:

Part 1. NPV $346,465

Part 2. IRR is 19.8%

Part 3. 3 Years

Part 4. 13.33%

Explanation:

<u>Part 1.</u>

 4      800,000  0.5921        473,664          0.4823          385,802

 5      800,000  0.5194       <u> 415,495 </u>         0.4019            <u> 321,502</u>

                             NPV              $346,465                                    -$7510

IRR can be calculated by using the following formula:

IRR = R at lower %age  + (R at Higher %age - R at Lower %age) * NPV at lower Percentage / (NPV at Higher %age - NPV at Lower %age)

Now by putting values, we have:

IRR = 14%   +  (20% - 14%)  *  346,465 / (346,465 +  7510)

IRR = 14%   +  5.8%  = 19.8%

<u>Part 3.</u>

Now by putting values, we have:

Payback Period = Initial Investment / Cash flow Per Period

Payback Period = $2,400,000 / $800,000  =  3 Years

<u>Part 4.</u>

As we know that:

Simple Rate Of Return = Net operating income ÷ Initial investment

Now by putting values, we have:

Simple Rate Of Return = $320,000 / $2,400,000 = 13.33%

The following schedule shows the technology of production at Mahalo Macadamia Nut Farm for​ 2015: Workers Total Pounds of Macada
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

MRPL= $200 = wage rate when there are 5 workers

and MRPL = $1,200 = wage rate when there are 2 workers.

Explanation:

The computation of unionized is shown below:-

Marginal revenue product of labor = Marginal product × Price per unit

Workers   Total Production    Marginal Product     MRPL

                   (per day)

a                    b                        b × $8

0                   0

1                   200                         200                      $1,600

2                   350                          150                      $1,200

                                               (350 - 200)

3                   450                           100                    $800

                                               (450 - 350)

4                   500                          50                        $40

                                               (500 - 450)

5                   525                           25                       $200

                                               (525 - 500)

6                    510                         -15                        -$120

                                               (510 - 525)

From the above table MRPL = $200 = wage rate when there are 5 workers

and MRPL = $1,200 = wage rate when there are 2 workers.
