Suppose you are considering becoming a driver for Uver, a new ride service in your town. You estimate you can buy a car that will be of acceptable Uver standards with $27,000.00 that you saved up. The car is electric, and with free charging stations all over town, you do not have any expenses for using the car. You expect that the car will be useful as an Uver car for the next 3 years. After the 3 years, the battery will be depleted, so the car will not be worth much anymore. The car therefore will not have any residual value after 3 years. You expect to make $15,000.00 per year as an Uver driver. Uver, however, has an odd business model: they pay their drivers at the end of the year. Therefore, while you will spend the $27,000.00 on the car today, you will receive your first $15,000.00 1 year from now, the next $15,000.00 a year after that, and the last $15,000.00 1 year after that.
Suppose the interest rate is 19.00%. The net present value of becoming an Uver driver is ___________.
Suppose the interest rate were instead 33%. You would_______ .

Answer:

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of future cashflows less the investment spent on the project.

Net Present value assuming a rate of 19%:

= -27,000 + (15,000 / ( 1 + 19%)) + (15,000 / ( 1 + 19%)²)  + (15,000 / ( 1 + 19%)³)

= $5,098.75

Net Present value assuming a rate of 33%:

= -27,000 + (15,000 / ( 1 + 33%)) + (15,000 / ( 1 + 33%)²)  + (15,000 / ( 1 + 33%)³)

= -$866.13

Janet Gilbert is director of a lab. She has some extra capac- ity and has contracted with some small neighboring hospitals to run some of their lab tests. She has recently had a study conducted and has determined that her costs for these contracts are $50,000, of which $7,000 is the variable cost of supplies. The rest is non- avoidable fixed cost. She currently charges an average of $30 per test. She is thinking of lowering her price by 20 percent in hopes of raising her current volume of 20,000 tests by 25 percent. If she does so, she expects her variable cost per test will go up by 5 percent. Determine the current and predicted (a) revenues, (b) variable costs, and (c) total contribution margin and product margin. What should she be recommended to do

Suppose there are only two producers of aircraft in the world, AirCraft in the United States and AirEurope in the European Union. The following hypothetical payoff matrices show the profits (in millions of dollars) for each company. In the absence of subsidies, if only one company makes aircraft, it receives a profit of $90 million. If both companies decide to produce, they each lose $3 million. When a company decides not to produce, it earns zero profit.

Air Europe
Produce Not produce
Aircraft Produce -3,-3 65,0
Not Produce 0,65 0,0

Suppose that the European Union considers aircraft a strategic industry gives Air-Europe a $9 million subsidy if it produces.
With a $9 million subsidy, regardless of whether Aircraft produces Or not, AirEurope _______produce if it wants to maximize its profit.

Because AirEurope will enter the market if given a $9 million subsidy, AirCraft should also produce in this industry.

a. True
b. False

Amanda, one of Abigail's fellow workers at BOSS, was surprised to learn that her department's schedule was changed from a standard 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. day, with an hour for lunch, to a work day that began at 8 a.m. and ended at 6 p.m., and that included a two-hour lunch. BOSS was located in the far suburbs, and there was little Amanda could do during the two-hour lunch period. What especially upset Amanda was the realization that when she got off work at 6 p.m. and drove 30 minutes to pick up her child at day care, she would be at least an hour late for daycare and would have to pay a very costly penalty. There were no day care facilities closer to the job, so Amanda had little recourse. She raised this concern to her supervisor, and when she was told that the new schedules were going to remain 8-6 with a two-hour lunch, Amanda began a campaign to pressure BOSS to change that schedule back. She wrote letters to the local newspaper, and called a local TV station. When Amanda's employer learned of Amanda's actions, it discharged her under Employment at Will (EAW). Amanda filed suit for wrongful discharge, claiming that this was a public policy exception to EAW because it constrained her Constitutional First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech. Which of the following is most correct?

a. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.
b. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge unless the court decides that Amanda had legal standing to bring the case.
c. Amanda will win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge unless the court decides that BOSS had legitimate business necessity for changing the schedule.
d. Amanda will win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.
