(Risk-adjusted discount rates and risk classes) The G. Wolfe Corporation is examining two capital-
budgeting projects with 5-year lives. The first, project A, is a replacement project; the second, project
B, is a project unrelated to current operations. The G. Wolfe Corporation uses the risk-adjusted
discount rate method and groups projects according to purpose, and then it uses a required rate of return
or discount rate that has been preassigned to that purpose or risk class. The expected cash flows
for these projects are given here:
PROJECT A PROJECT B
Initial investment _$250,000 _$400,000
Cash inflows:
Year 1 $30,000 $135,000
Year 2 40,000 135,000
Year 3 50,000 135,000
Year 4 90,000 135,000
Year 5 130,000 135,000
The purpose/risk classes and preassigned required rates of return are as follows:

PURPOSE REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN
Replacement decision 12%
Modification or expansion of existing product line 15
Project unrelated to current operations 18
Research and development operations 20
Determine each project’s risk-adjusted net present value.

Question 465872: I really need some help here getting started...I do not know what I am suppose to do and there are many parts to this but a,b are the key questions I need help with because the other questions work off this.

a. Suppose a market research company finds that at a price of p = $10, they would sell x = 24 tiles each month. If they lower the price to p = $5, then more people would purchase the tile, and they can expect to sell x = 44 tiles in a month’s time. Find the equation of the line for the demand equation. Write your answer in the form p = mx + b. Hint: Write an equation using two points in the form (x,p) and remember that order matters!
b. Substitute the result you found from part a. into the equation R = xp to find the revenue equation. Provide your answer in simplified form.
