HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air, which requires investment spending. The table below shows the level of R&D spending necessary to achieve different rates of return (due to higher ticket revenue). Private Rate of Return Level of R&D Spending 12% $100 10% $200 8% $300 6% $400 4% $500 If the opportunity cost of financial capital for HighFlyer Airlines is 6%, how much should the firm invest in R&D? Assume that the social rate of return for R&D is an additional 2% on top of the private return; that is, an R&D investment that had a 7% private return to HighFlyer Airlines would…

Suppose a group of cattle ranchers each have $100 to spend. The farmers can either purchase a steer for $100, and let it graze in a common grazing area, or they can buy a bond with the $100 which receives an interest rate of 9%. The table below gives the value of each steer after it has been grazing for one year. # of steers Price per steer 1 $160 2 $150 3 $140 4 $130 $120 6 $110 7 $100 If the ranchers put their steers in the grazing area one at a time and act alone (only in their self interest), there will be [ Select ] v steers on the grazing area. However, if the ranchers work together to maximize their total income, there will be [Select ] steers on the grazing area.

A university spent $1.5 million to install solar panels atop a parking garage. These panels will have a capacity of 200 kilowatts (kW) and have a life expectancy of 20 years. Suppose that the discount rate is 10%, that electricity can be purchased at $0.30 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), and that the marginal cost of electricity production using the solar panels is zero. Hint: It may be easier to think of the present value of operating the solar panels for 1 hour per year first.

What process does the net present value method use to help management determine whether a project is acceptable to a company? Options : A. It discounts net cash flows to their present value and then compares that value to the capital outlay required by the project.B. It determines the interest rate that will cause the present value of the capital expenditure to equal the present value of the expected net cash flows.C. It divides the present value of net cash flows by the initial investment to determine the profitability index of the project.D. It identifies the time period required to recover the cost of the capital investment from the net annual cash flow produced by the project.
