- firm decides to invest X units of capital in Project A and Yunits of labour in Project B. iv. The expected return for each unit of investment is $500 in Project A and $1500 in Project B. However in order to meet the expectations of the firm's ethical and environmental policy values of X and Y must satisfy the constraint x+y-5x-6y= 210. How many units of each type should firm buy in other to maximize total volume? What is the implication of a unit change in investment in capital and (or) Labour Economic Analysis?Limitless Ltd. is planning to buy a new warehouse to store its production output. The investment would require £500,000 to be paid upfront. Thanks to the new warehouse, the company expects to increase its profits by £120,000 annually for the next five years, and then £60,000 for the following five years. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of this investment opportunity if the cost of capital is 12%. Should Limitless Ltd. go ahead with the purchase of the new warehouse? Explain your reasoning. What is the payback period of this investment? Suppose the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of this investment opportunity is 15%. Based on this information alone, should Limitless Ltd. make the investment? Why? Would this decision be consistent with that from B? Explain your reasoning. Suppose that, instead of paying the initial £500,000 now, Limitless Ltd. decides to pay it in equal instalments over the next 10 years. How much would the company need to pay each year to make all…Can you please explain what to do with p1=10 and p2=5
- Q8. Which one of the following is NOT true: Options - We do not need to know the functional form of heteroskedasticity to perform White's test for heteroskedasticity. Lagrange Multiplier test for heteroskedasticity requires us to specify a functional form for heteroskedasticity. Heteroskedasticity makes OLS estimator biased. Jarque-Bera test does not test for heteroskedasticitySuppose the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of this investment opportunity is 15%. Based on this information alone, should Limitless Ltd. make the investment? Why? Would this decision be consistent with that from B? Explain your reasoning. Suppose that, instead of paying the initial £500,000 now, Limitless Ltd. decides to pay it in equal instalments over the next 10 years. How much would the company need to pay each year to make all these payments equivalent to £500,000 today? Now assume that an alternative project would generate immediate (time zero) net profits of £500,000 upfront, but after that, it would result in annual losses of £120,000 over the next five years, and then the annual losses of £60,000 over the following five years. The cost of capital is 12% and the IRR is 15%. Should you start this project? Explain your reasoning. Would you make the same decision based on NPV and IRR? Why?Kusho Industries produces and sells computer chips. Its (hourly) production function is Q=4K 0.4L 0.6 while its (hourly) cost function is C=20L+80K. Furthermore, Kusho must produce q0=400 computer chips per hour. a. Which levels of L and K satisfy the first-order conditions for the constrained minimisation of Kusho’s cost? Use the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) method. Also, find and interpret the value of the Lagrangemultiplier b. Show that MRTS=w at the constrained cost minimising levels of L and K obtained above
- Clare is contemplating her possible consumption patter for this year and next. She know that she will have income of $50,000 this year and $55,000 next yea. Her plan is to consume $40,000 this year (t=0). She is also going to invest 30,000. This investment has a positive NPV of $450. She decides to take the investment; in addition, the return on the investment is 9.62%. What consumption she can expect at t=1? (show a detailed procedure)A Lagrangian equation for total profit was solved, giving a Lagrangian multiplier of 94 and an output of 28. Which of the following statements is/are true? (i) If output increases by 100%, total profit will be increased by 94%. (ii) The marginal profit is exactly 94 when Q = 28. (iii) Profit will be maximised when output is at 94. (iv) If an additional item costs less than 94, it should be produced. a.(i) and (iv) only b.None of these other available answer choices is correct c.(i) only d.(ii) and (iii) only e.(iii) onlyProminent Sdn Bhd produces furniture at several factories. Its Seberang Prai factoryproduces office chairs. Management aims to increase production in the coming year to 800units per month. Therefore, management is exploring two production strategies for thecoming year. The first strategy is to continue operations with the existing machine, MachineA, and the second strategy is to rent a new machine, Machine B, to produce the office chairs.The monthly rental of Machine B is RM14,000. Machine B takes half an hour to produce oneoffice chair. However, it requires a more skilled labour force with an hourly rate of RM30 perhour.Comparatively, continuing to use Machine A means that costs will remain the same. MachineA is 5 years old and is operating below capacity. The hourly labour rate is RM20 and thematerials required for each unit is RM30. Each office chair is assembled within an hour. Eachunit of the finished office chair is sold for RM120.The fixed monthly running costs of thefactory is…

How much is the additional savings? show the computationsNow suppose you invest in both a factory and the research for the production of Green jetpacks. Look at the factory and research as a total investment. Calculate the net present value (NPV) before tax on the investment based on the following information: The investment cost is paid in full in quarter 0, and the cost of the factory is 100000 while the cost of the research is also 100000. The factory has a lifetime of 20 quarters (5 years) and the value of the factory at the end of quarter 20 is 0 Only green jetpacks should be produced at the factory throughout its lifetime. There is no investment in research to streamline production or material consumption. Suppose the quarterly demand in the market is constant and given at P = 338 - 0.018 * Q, where P is price and Q is the number of jetpacks in demand. There are 5 competitors in the market (including you), and all sell the same number of jetpacks each quarter at the price of 248 each. You produce as much as you sell. The costs…
