Answer:
0.71
Explanation:
The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost
Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs
if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable
If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Present value of the benefits
Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $18,000 + 3500 = $21500
Cash flow in year 3 = $18,000 + (3500 x 2) = $25,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $18,000 + (3500 x 3) = $28500
Cash flow in year 5 = $18,000 + (3500 x 4) = $32,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $18,000 + (3500 x 5) = $35,500
Cash flow in year 7 = $18,000 + (3500 x 6) = $39,000
Cash flow in year 8 = $18,000 + (3500 x 7) = $42,500
Cash flow in year 9 = $18,000 + (3500 x 8) = $46,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $18,000 + (3500 x 9) = $49500
Cash flow in year 11 = $18,000 + (3500 x 10) = $53,000
Cash flow in year 12 = $18,000 + (3500 x 11) = $56,500
I = 12 %
PV = $202,331.70
Present value of the cost
Cash flow in year 0 = $25,000 + $150,000 = $175,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 12 = $17,500.
I = 12 %
PV = $283,401.55
B/C ratio = $202,331.70 / $283,401.55 = 0.71
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.
Solution :
Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :
-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.
-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.
-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.

Required:
Assuming no change in actuarial assumptions and estimates, determine the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31.
Service cost million
Answer:
$151 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31.
Projected benefit obligation, December 31 $485 million
Add Benefit payments to retirees, December 31 $58 million
Less Interest cost ($42 million)
(350*12%)
Less Projected benefit obligation, January 1 ($350 million)
Service cost $151 million
Therefore the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31 will be $151 million
Company A and Company B are a duopoly, an oligopoly of only two firms. Neither company advertises its product and both firms earn $10 million in profits. Company A is considering increases to its advertising budget which would raise its profits to $12 million. Below is the payoff matrix for both companies and their decision as to whether to advertise or not.
Company A' Profits
Don't Adevertise Advertise
Don't Advertise A: $10 million A: $12 million
B: $10 million B: $6 million
Company B's Profits A: $6 million A: $8 million
B: $12 million B: $8 million
If Company A increases its advertising budget, Company B should:____.
A. Shut down.
B. Continue to not advertise.
C. Increase its advertising budget.
D. Increase the price it charges to increase profits.
Answer: C. Increase its advertising budget.
Explanation:
If Company A advertises and Company B does not, Company B profits are $6 million compared to $12 million for Company A. If both company advertise, they both have a profit of $8 million.
It is therefore important that when A advertises, B should advertise as well. This is why B should increase its advertising budget when A does because it will lead to them having a better income than they would should A advertise more.
Paul Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On September 30, 2021, Paul sold 40,000 shares of common stock for cash. Paul also had 6,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding throughout 2021. The preferred stock is $100 par, 6%, and is convertible into 3 shares of common for each share of preferred. Paul also had 420, 8%, convertible bonds outstanding throughout 2021. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. The bonds sold originally at face value. Reported net income for 2021 was $270,000 with a 40% tax rate. Common shareholders received $1.20 per share dividends after preferred dividends were paid in 2021.
Required: Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for 2021. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Basic EPS = [$270,000 - (6% * $100 * 6,000)] / [100,000 + 40,000 * 3/12]
Basic EPS = [$270,000 - $36,000] / 35,000
Basic EPS = $234,000 / 35,000
Basic EPS = 6.685714285714286
Basic EPS = 6.69
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + ($420,00*8%*60%)] / [100000 + 40,000 * 3/12 + (420*30) + (6,000*3)]
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + $2,016] / [35,000 + 12600 + 18,000]
Diluted EPS = $272,016 / 65,600
Diluted EPS = 4.146585365853659
Diluted EPS = $4.15
Hughes Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent and the company just paid a $2.35 dividend, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer: $53.94
Explanation:
Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.
Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)
= $64
D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867
D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $3.49774
D₃ = 3.49774 * 1.22 = $4.2672428
Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (3.49774 / 1.12²) + (4.2672428 / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)
= $53.94

Less: Corrected Cost of goods sold:($313,500)
(280,500 + $33,000)
Gross Profit $109,500
Therefore the correct gross profit would be:$109,500

On September 12, Vander Company sold merchandise in the amount of $3,950 to Jepson Company, with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. The cost of the items sold is $2,725. Vander uses the periodic inventory system and the gross method of accounting for sales. On September 14, Jepson returns some of the merchandise. The selling price of the merchandise is $340 and the cost of the merchandise returned is $240. Jepson pays the invoice on September 18, and takes the appropriate discount. The journal entry that Vander makes on September 18 is:
Answer:
Date Account Debit Credit
September 18 Cash $3,537.80
Sales discount $ 72.20
Accounts Receivable $3,610
Explanation:
Net merchandise sold = 3,950 - 340
= $3,610
Sales discount is 2% if paid in 10 days which Jepson did.
= 2% * 3,610
= $72.20
Cash = Net sales - discount
= 3,610 - 72.20
= $3,537.80
