Notice that the project will increase your profits a total of $7 million dollars, BUT that benefit is spread over a 6 year period while the cost is paid now. Find the present value for each year if the interest rate is 6% and then add them together for the total present value of future revenue.

Total PV = ?

If the price of the software is $5 million is it profitable to buy the software?

7.What is the future value in 10 years of $1 million if the interest rate is 4%?

Explanation / Answer

2.The marginal revenue product curve is equivalent to the _FACTOR PRICE curve for the input

4.

EV=.6 * 70,000 EV=.5 * 80,000

EV= 42,000 EV=40,000

5. you should subtract $1400 accounting costs and the $100 return from the $1800 which would leave you with $300 for the land value

Total PV = 5941980

Yes the software should be purchased as the PV of the cash flow is greater than the price of the software.

7. Future Value = 1000000*(1+4%)^10 = $ 1480244
