If individuals face discrimination and perceive themselves as unequal to other groups within their society, it is clear they will experience unhappiness, which can adversely affect their professional lives. Unhappiness can result in reduced effort and potential at work, ultimately leading to diminished profits for the company.
That's my perspective, anyway.:)

Answer:

NPV = negative 37,599

Explanation:

To determine the NPV of the new sewing machine, we subtract the investment from the present value of anticipated cash inflows.

Initial investment = Cost of machine + Training expenses - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should refrain from acquiring the new machine since the NPV is negative.      

Answer: To optimize profit, the production will entail: 400 luxury units and no standard ones. Explanation: For luxury items, raw material and labor yield higher profitability.
