Problem Solving:
1. ABC Firm plans to engage in an investment A that will cost the firm Php.
750,000.00 and would earn them revenues for the next five years. But, if the
money was used to invest in other ventures, it would gain a 5% interest rate. Should
the firm spend Php. 750,000.00 or just leave the money in the bank? The table
below shows the amount that will be earned by the firm using the new machine for
the next five years:
Amount
Year Present Value
in Php
0 -750,000.00
1 80,000 76,190.48
2 90,000 81,632.65
3 100,000 86,383.76
4 200,000 164,540.50
5 250,000 195,881.54
NPV = -145,371.07
Computation:
YEAR 1:
NPV = [CF/(1+r)^t] Since the NPV is in a negative figure, ABC Firm should
NPV = 80,000 / (1+0.05)^1 just invest their Php750,000 to other ventures rather than
NPV = 76,190.47619 investing in investment A. In that way, they would gain
NPV = 76,190.48 more income in the next five years.
YEAR 2:
NPV = [CF/(1+r)^t]
NPV = 90,000 / (1+0.05)^2
NPV = 81,632.65306
NPV = 81,632.65
YEAR 3:
NPV = [CF/(1+r)^t]
NPV = 100,000 / (1+0.05)^3
NPV = 86,383.75985
NPV = 86,383.76
YEAR 4:
NPV = [CF/(1+r)^t]
NPV = 200,000 / (1+0.05)^4
NPV = 164,540.495
NPV = 164,540.50
YEAR 5:
NPV = [CF/(1+r)^t]
NPV = 250,000 / (1+0.05)^5
NPV = 195,881.5416
NPV = 195,881.54
2. Compute for the demand, supply, and equilibrium of each demand and supply
function. Input your answers for the demand and supply on the table given below
(no need for computation). While for the answers on the equilibrium computation,
type in your complete computation below (like what we discussed).

Qd = 176-6P
C. Qs = 509+213P

D. Qs = 80 + 3P
Qd = 500 – 2P
2.2 Solve for the Equilibrium Price, Demand Function, and Supply Function
A. Qs = 33+10P; Qd = 68-6P
Equilibrium Price:
Qd = Qs
68 – 6P = 33 + 10P
10P + 6P = 68 – 33
16P = 35
P = 2.1875
P = 2.18
Supply Function:
Qs = 33 + 10P
Qs = 33 + 10(2.1875)
Qs = 54.87
Demand Function:
Qd = 68 – 6P
Qd= = 68 – 6(2.1875)
Qd = 54.97
B. Qs = 331+12P; Qd = 176-6P
Qd = Qs
176 – 6P = 331 + 12P
12P + 6P = 176 – 331
18P = -155
P = -8.61111
P = -8.61
Supply Function:
Qs = 331 + 12P
Qs = 331 + 12(-8.6111)
Qs = 227.66
Demand Function:
Qd = 176 – 6P
Qd = 176 – 6(-8.6111)
Qd = 227.66
C. Qs = 509+213P; Qd=104-22P
Qd = Qs
104 – 22P = 509 + 213P
213P + 22P = 104 – 509
235P = -405
P = 1.7234
P = -1.72
Supply Function:
Qs = 509 + 213P
Qs = 509 + 213(-1.7234)
Qs = 141.91
Demand Function:
Qd = 104 – 22P
Qd = 104 – 22(-1.7234)
Qd = 141.91
D. Qs = 80 + 3P; Qd = 500 – 2P
Qd = Qs
500 – 2P = 80 + 3P
3P + 2P = 500 – 80
5P = 420
P = 84
Supply Function:
Qs = 80 + 3P
Qs = 80 + 3(84)
Qs = 332
Demand Function:
Qd = 500 -2P
Qd = 500 – 2(84)
QD = 332
E. Qs = 90+4P; Qd = 60-3P
Qd = Qs
60 – 3P = 90 + 4P
4P + 3P = 60 – 90
7P = -30
P = -4.2857
P = -4.28
Supply Function:
Qs = 90 + 4P
Qs = 90 + 4(-4.2857)
Qs = 72.85
Demand Function:
Qd = 60 – 3P
Qd = 60 – 3(-4.2857)
Qd = 72.85
3. Given the demand equation of Qd = 70 – 2Px + 7Py – 4M + 1A, determine the price,
cross-price, income, and advertising elasticity given the following: Px = 10, Py = 5,
M = 15, and A = 20.
Qd = 70 – 2Px + 7Py – 4M + 1A
= 70 – 2(10) + 7(5) -4(15) +1(20)
= 70 – 20 + 35 – 60 + 20
Qd = 45
4. Given the demand equation of Qd = 100 – 4Px + 4Py – 2M + 15A, determine the
price, cross-price, income, and advertising elasticity given the following: Px = 4, Py
= 30, M = 50, and A = 1.
