You are 30 years old today and are considering studying for an MBA. You just received your annual salary of $50,000 and expect i

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes, you should take the MBA because the NPV of taking the MBA is positive.

Explanation:

the total economic costs of taking the MBA program include the lost wages + the costs of taking the MBA and any interest you could have earned by investing it on something else = ($50,000 x 1.03) + ($50,000 x 1.03²) + (2 x $30,000 x 1.08) = $51,500 + $53,045 + $64,800 = $169,345

the present value of your total economic costs:

$51,500/1.08 + $53,045/1.08² + $32,400/1.08 + $32,400/1.08² = $47,685.19 + $45,477.54 + $30,000 + $27,777.78 = $150,940.51

if you continued to work, your salary at year 3 would be $54,636.35 and it would continue to increase by 3% every year. The salary that you can earn with an MBA is $80,000 and it will grow by 4% per year. I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate future salaries and the differential amount between them. Then I calculated the PV at the beginning of year 3 of the differential income.

The PV of the differential income today = $560,281.31 /1.08³ = $444,769.38

the NPV of taking an MBA = $444,769.38 - $150,940.51 = $293,828.87

Suppose that Roots' marginal cost of a jacket is a constant $100.00 and the total fixed cost at one of its stores is $1 comma

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

What is this store's average total cost of a jacket sold before the advertising begins and after the advertising begins.

before advertising costs increase:

marginal cost is constant, so we can state that the total variable costs are $100 per jacket

total fixed costs = $1,000 per day / 15 jackets = $66.67 per jacket

average total cost per jacket before increasing advertising expense = $100 + $66.67 =) $166.67

after advertising costs increase:

total variable costs are $100 per jacket

total fixed costs = $2,000 per day / 55 jackets = $36.36 per jacket

average total cost per jacket after increasing advertising expense = $100 + $36.36 =) $136.36

Can you say what happens to the price of a Roots jacket, Roots' markup, and Roots' economy?

Roots is experiencing economies of scale since average total cost per jacket decreased as the total number of jackets sold increased. But in order to sell that new amount of jackets, their price probably decreased. If the price hadn't changed, then the profit maximizing number of jackets sold per day would be close to 30, but it clearly isn't. That means that the company's markup decreased, but the company is now better off since it is maximizing its profits even though its expenses increased and the markup decreased.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Unrelated Diversification

Explanation:

The reason is that the company has entered in a number of product offering that are unrelated to each other. This means the company has subtantially reduced its industry risk by managing a portfolio of products that are different from each other from industry perspective. This is an example of unrelated diversification because comics are unrelated to sports figures, music videos and motion pictures.
