Young Pharmaceuticals is considering a drug project that costs $2.42 million today and is expected to generate end-of-year annual cash flows of $211,000 forever. At what discount rate would the company be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

At 8.72% the company would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project

Explanation:

To be indifferent to accepting or rejecting the project, the initial cost of the project should equal the present value of all expected cash inflow to the project i.e. the Break-even point which is the point at which revenue = cost, thereby generating zero profit.

From the question, Young Pharmaceuticals is investing $2.42 million and expects an annual year end cash flow of $211,000 forever. We therefore apply the annuity to perpetuity formula

PV of perpetuity = Periodic cashflow/interest rate

cross multiply and make Interest the subject of the formular

= Interest = Periodic cashflow/PV of perpetuity

i = 211000/2420000

= 0.0872

= 8.72%

A firm derives revenue from two sources: goods X and Y. Annual revenues from good X and Y are $10,000 and $20,000, respectively. If the price elasticity of demand for good X is -4.0 and the cross-price elasticity of demand between Y and X is 2.0, then a 2 percent decrease in the price of X will _______.

Answers

Answer:

X demand would rise by 8% ; Y demand would fall by 4%

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness in demand quantity, due to change in good's price

P.Ed = % change in demand / % change in own price

Cross Price Elasticity is the responsiveness in a good's demand quantity, due to change in other good's price

C.Ed = % change in demand (Y) / % change in other good's price (X)

Given {Good X Elasticities} : P.Ed = (-) 4 ; C.Ed = 2

Price of X decrease = 2%

P.Ed = 4 = % change in demand / 2

% change in demand of X = 2 x 4 = 8%

P.Ed absolute value ignoring negative has been taken due to law of demand price - demand inverse relationship already depicting it. So, 2% fall in price of X increases it's quantity demanded by 8%

C.Ed = 2 = % change in Y demand / 2

% change in Y demand = 2 x 2 = 4%

Cross Price Elasticity of demand is positive in case of substitute goods. These goods can be interchange-ably used to satisfy a particular want. Substitutes price & demand are directly related;- as price fall of a good makes it relatively cheap, increases its demand, decreases other good's demand. So, 2% decrease in good X price decreases good Y demand by 4%

Y = F(K, L) = K1/2L1/2. Suppose that both countries start off with a capital stock per worker of 2. What are the levels of income per worker and consumption per worker? Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Income per worker = 1.41 ; If rate of savings is 20% or 0.20 - Savings = 0.28

Explanation:

Y is output or income per worker, is given as a function of factors - Capital & Labour.

Y = F (K,L) = K^1/2.L^1/2

Given : 'Capital per worker' = 2

So, labour = 1 & capital = 2

Income [Y] per worker = (2)^1/2 . (1)^1/2

I.4 x 1

= 1.41

Savings [S] is a function of Income [Y]

S = f (Y)

S = s.f(Y) ; where s represents ratio / proportion of income saved.

Example : If 's' savings rate is 20% i.e 0.20

S = (0.20) (1.41)

= 0.28

On January 1, Song Corp. receives a $100,000, two-year, note receivable from a customer in exchange for payment of goods. The note has a 12% effective interest rate. On December 31, when Song records interest for the year, Song will record

Answers

Answer:

$9,566.33

Explanation:

We need to determine the present value of the notes receivable using the pv excel function below:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the interest rate of 12%

nper is the number of years before the amount on the note is received which is 2 years

pmt is the amount of fixed interest(there is no fixed interest in this case)

fv is the future value of the loan in year 2 i.e $100,000

=-pv(12%,2,0,100000)=$79,719.39

Now,after a year 12% interest is applied to the pv:

interest=$79,719.39 *12%=$9,566.33

Answers

Answer:

loss = $1,000

Explanation:

the customer will receive $5 (call price) + $44 (call price) = $49 for every share that he/she owns.

since the market price was $59, then the customer lost $59 - $49 = $10 for every share that he/she owned, resulting in a total loss = $10 per share x 100 shares = $1,000

Answers

Answer:

Shoe-leather Costs.

Explanation:

In Business management, Shoe-leather costs can be defined as the costs of time and effort people take to counteract the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by visiting banks or other financial institutions regularly in order to limit inflation tax they pay on holding cash.

Metaphorically speaking, in a bid to protect the value of money or assets, people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to the bank regularly.

Hence, Shen is practicing a shoe-leather cost.
