Scenario 18-3 sam has two jobs, one for the winter and one for the summer. in the winter, he works as a lift attendant at a ski
resort where he earns $13 per hour. during the summer, he drives a tour bus around the ski resort, earning $11 per hour. refer to scenario 18-3. during the winter months, what is sam's opportunity cost of taking an hour off work to go skiing? a. $13
b. less than $11
c. $11
d. between $11 and $12
<span>A) -$13. The reason being that, opportunity cost is the benefit that a person could have received, but gave up,in order to take another course of action, which in this case is skiing. And since his salary per 1 hour in the winter months is $13, skiing for one hour instead of working during that hour will cost him $13</span>
The first part was true. A higher WACC results in a lower NPV simply because a higher discount rate results in a lower present value.
E.g. 100 / (1 + 6%)³ = 83.96, but if we increase r to 10%, then 100 / (1 + 10%)³ = 75.13
The second part is wrong because under the IRR method, the decision rule is very simple, all projects are accepted if their IRR is higher than the project's WACC (or discount rate). I.e. if hte project's WACC increases, so does the chance of the project being rejected because the IRR might be lower than the WACC.
Companies aim to acquire data from computer customers by surveying their business in the worldwide production market. This kind of data collecting delivers a more comprehensive survey than individual data gathering, is less costly, and saves time, and has a high response rate.
According to the present market circumstances, I recommended utilising a postal survey and in-person interviews study as a company researcher.
