Answer:

b. the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Poaching can be defined as an illegal or illegitimate procurement (purchase) of protected wildlife living organisms such as elephants, fish, trees, gaming, etc.

In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists tend to point out that the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching in accordance with the law of supply.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

rewona [7]

Answer:

The PV of future cash flow is $22,925,764, therefore the company should take on the project

Explanation:

In order to know if the company should take on the project we have to calculate the PV of future cash flow as follows:

PV of future cash flow= D1

RE-g

To calculate this formula we requre to calculate the WACC and the discount rate as follows:

WACC=(1.00/1.80×0.11)+0+(0.80/1.80×0.046)

WACC=0.0611+0+0.02044

WACC=0.081556

WACC=8.16%

After having calculated the WACC we can calculate the project discount rate as follows:

project discount rate=WACC + Additional risk factor

=8.16%+3%

=11.16%

Therefore, PV of future cash flow= $2,100,000

0.1116-0.02

PV of future cash flow= $2,100,000

0.0916

PV of future cash flow=$22,925,764

The PV of future cash flow is $22,925,764, therefore the company should take on the project
