Answer:

PV = $18,265.6

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of the first investment ussing the annuity factor

annuity per year x factor = PV

8,000 x 2.2832 =  18,265.6

Then we calculate the PV of the second investment by multiplying the third year cash flow by the present value of $1 in 3 years

nominal x factor = PV

24,000 x 0.6575 = 15,780

the first alternative PV is higher than the second, so it is a better option

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The elasticity of Diet Pepsi rose, and its ability to raise revenues through price increases fell.

Explanation:

When a good has very close substitutes, like Diet Pepsi does with respect to Diet Coke, said good has a elastic price elasticity of demand, because the quantity demanded of it falls proportionally more than an increase in price since consumers turn to the substitute good when said good becomes more expensive.

If the price of Diet Pepsi rises, people can simply buy Diet Coke, potentially reducing revenue for Pepsi even more, despite the price increases.
