Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $240,000 and have a useful life of five years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $69,230 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $9,000. A machine costs $170,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last nine years, and will generate an after-tax income of $38,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Investment                               Payback period(in years)

A                                               2.08

B                                               3.066

Explanation:

The payback period is the length of time in years it will take the net cash inflow of a project to recoup its initial cost

Payback period = Initial cost of investment /Annual net cash inflow

Investment A

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Number of years

                               =  (240,000 - 9,000)/5 =

Annul cash inflow = 69,230 + 46200  = 115,430

Payback period = Initial cost of investment /Annual net cash inflow

                           = 240,000/ 115,430 = 2.079

Investment B

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Number of years

                               =  (170,000 - 13,000)/9 = 17,444.444

Annul cash inflow= 38,000 + 17,444.44= 55,444.44

Payback period = 170,000 /55,444.44  =3.067

Investment                               Payback period(in years)

A                                               2.08

B                                               3.066

Answer:

Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.

Explanation:

Hidden variable: The term "hidden variable" is described as the proposition that specific "statistical models" of any physical systems, for example, Quantum mechanics are being incomplete inherently, and along with this the apparent randomness of a particular system is being dependent not on "collapsing functions" but instead it is due to any unmeasurable or unseen or hidden variables.

The Federal Reserve and the money supply
Suppose the money supply (as measured by checkable deposits) is currently $400 billion. The required reserve ratio is 20%. Banks hold $80 billion in reserves, so there are no excess reserves. The Federal Reserve ("the Fed") wants to decrease the money supply by $35 billion, to $365 billion. It could do this through open-market operations or by changing the required reserve ratio. Assume for this question that you can use the oversimplified money multiplier formula. If the Fed wants to decrease the money supply using open-market operations, it shouldsell $7 billion worth of U.S. government bonds. If the Fed wants to decrease the money supply by adjusting the required reserve ratio, it shouldincrease the required reserve ratio.

Answers

Answer:

1. Sell $7 billion worth of U.S. government bonds

2. Increase the required reserve ratio.

Explanation:

1. If the Fed wants to change the money supply in the economy, it can use the Money Multiplier to determine how much is it has to put in or take out of the economy to increase/decrease the Money supply to a certain level. The Money Multiplier is a figure that shows how much the money supply will increase/ decrease by as a result of an additional dollar put into or removed from the economy.

Formula is;

= 1/ Reserve Ratio

= 1 / 20%

= 5

Federal Reserve wants to decrease supply by $35 billion.

$35 billion = Amount of Bonds to sell * Multiplier

$35 billion = Amount of Bonds to sell * 5

Amount of Bonds to sell = 35/5

Amount of Bonds to sell = $7 billion worth of bonds

2. If the Fed wants instead to use the required reserve ratio to reduce money supply then it should increase the ratio. This way banks will have to keep more money in reserve instead of giving it out as loans. This reduced lending in the economy will lead to less money being created and hence a reduced money supply.

Answer:

Amos Company

Statement of Retained Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019:

December 31, 2018 balance             $852,000

adjustment of error:

Depreciation expense for 2017           -44,600

Adjusted Retained Earnings             $807,400

Income for the year                             219,000

less Dividends                                      -13,000

Retained Earnings, Dec. 31, 2019  $1,013,400

Explanation:

The depreciation expense of $44,600 would be recorded by deducting it from the beginning retained earnings.  This adjusts the balance to reflect the previous year's errors.  Then the year's earnings are added before the payment of dividends.  The resultant figure is the retained earnings to be carried to the next accounting period.

Retained earnings a.cannot have a debit balance b.is equal to cash on hand c.is the same as contributed capital d.changes are summarized in the retained earnings statement

Answers

Answer:

d. Changes are summarized in the retained earnings statement

Explanation:

Retained earnings also known as accumulated earnings, can be defined as the total amount of net income held by a corporation for its future use after paying out dividends to its shareholders.

The retained earnings statement refers to a financial statement that enumerate changes in retained earnings for an organization over a specific period of time. The retained earnings statement is the statement of owner's equity that outlines details of changes in the amount of retained earnings (profits) over a specified period in an organization.

Hence, retained earnings changes are summarized in the retained earnings statement.

The main purpose of preparing a retained earnings statement is to boost investor's confidence and improve market value.

Depreciation, insurance, and property tax expense represent $50,000 of the estimated monthly manufacturing costs. The annual insurance premium is paid in January, and the annual property taxes are paid in December. Of the remainder of the manufacturing costs, 80% are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred and the balance in the following month.
Current assets as of September 1 include cash of $40,000, marketable securities of $75,000, and accounts receivable of $300,000 ($60,000 from July sales and $240,000 from August sales). Sales on account for July and August were $200,000 and $240,000, respectively. Current liabilities as of September 1 include $40,000 of accounts payable incurred in August for manufacturing costs. All selling and administrative expenses are paid in cash in the period they are incurred. An estimated income tax payment of $55,000 will be made in October. Bridgeport’s regular quarterly dividend of $25,000 is expected to be declared in October and paid in November. Management desires to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50,000.

Answers

Answer:

$2,685.64

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-40,000

Cash flow each year from  year 1 to 3 = $12,000

Cash flow in year 4  = $16,000

I = 8%

NPV =  $2,685.64

To find the NPV 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.

suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.8 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 4.7 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond = €875.09

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond would  be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Annual interest payment

= 3.8% × 1,000 = 38

PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- annual yield = 4.7%

n- 23

PV of interest payment= 38 × (1-(1.047^(-23)/0.047 =  €527.37

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)

PV = 1,000  × (1.047)^(-23)  = €347.717

Step 3

Price of bond

=  527.37+  347.717 = €875.09

Price of bond = €875.09

Loredo Company's net income for 2017 is $50,000. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding were 1,000 options, each exercisable for one share at $6. None have been exercised, and 10,000 shares of common were outstanding during 2017. The average market price of Loredo's stock during 2017 was $10. The 1,000 options were issued on October 1, 2017. DEPS for 2017 is:__________.
a. $4.8
b. $4.55
c. $4.72
d. $4.95
e. $4.87

Answers

Answer:

DEPS for 2017 is: e. $4.87.

Explanation:

Diluted Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock = $50,000

Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :

Common Stocks Outstanding                                            10,000

Add Potential Common Stock ; Options (1,000 × 3/12)         250

Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding         10,250

Thus,Diluted Earnings per Share = $50,000 ÷ 10,250

                                                       = $4.87

Park co is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $26120 and provides expected cash inflows of 8600 annually for four years. Assume park co. requires a 10% return on investments.
What is the net present value of this investment? (PV Of $1. FV of $1, P A of $1, and FVA of $1. Round your present value factor to 4 declmals.)

Answers

Answer:

$1140.28

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value of this investment is shown below:-

= Annual Cash flows × Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n) - Initial Investment

as

Annual cash flows = $8600

Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n)

r = 10% and n = 4 years

So, the Present Value of Annuity Factor will be the sum of the present value of 4 years at 10%

For Year 1 = 0.9091

For Year 2 = 0.8264

For Year 3 = 0.7513

For Year 4 = 0.6830

Total = 3.1698

Therefore,

Net Present Value = (Cash inflow × Total) -

Initial Investment

= ($8600 × 3.1698) - $26,120  

= $27,260.28 - $26,120

= $1140.28

A small town is served by many competing supermarkets, which all have the same constant marginal cost. Use the black point (plus symbol) to show the competitive price and quantity in this market. Then use the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in the market for groceries, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

From the diagram in the picture (please find attached) we see that the competitive price and quantity lies at the marginal cost( which the producer cannot go below). The consumer surplus lies just below the demand curve(the downward sloping curve with) and the producer surplus is above the marginal cost. Note the producer surplus is the difference between what the supplier is willing to sell and how much he actually sells,  the marginal cost is the lowest the supplier would want to sell. This applies to the consumer surplus too

The producer surplus region was indicated with vertical strokes in the diagram attached

Answers

The question is incomplete:

Ask Socrates, Inc., employees are allowed to dress informally. This is an example of a __________ through which organizational culture is transmitted.

A) primary procedure

B) ritual

C) material symbol

D) symbolic act

E) fundamental mechanism

Answer:

C) material symbol

Explanation:

-Primary procedure  is a document that indicates employees how to perform a core activity in the business process.

-Ritual  refers to a group of acctivities that are performed in a specific way according to an established order.

-Material symbol  is a type of non-verbal communication that goes from the employer to the employees that shows the culture of the company.

-Symbolic act  is an act that represents an idea without using words.

-Fundamental mechanism refers to a key process that helps people to perform their jobs.

According to this, the answer is that this is an example of a material symbol through which organizational culture is transmitted because a material symbol is a non-verbal form of communication from the employer to the employees and in this case, the company allows employees to dress informally and the organization's culture is communicated through this.

Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to

Answers

Answer:

Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.

Explanation:

This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:

Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)

Where;

Y = Total Output = $35 billion

C = Desired consumption = $15 billion

G = Government purchases = $10 billion

I = Desired investment = $6 billion

NX = Net foreign lending = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:

$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX

$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX

NX = $4 billion

Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.

A bond has a standard deviation of 10.7 percent and an average rate of return of 6.4 percent. What is the coefficient of variation (CoV)

Answers

Answer:

CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67

Explanation:

The coefficient of variation (CoV) is a measure of volatility of an investment. It tells the volatility in comparison with the expected return from the investment. We can say that the CoV tells us the risk per unit of return as CoV is calculated by dividing standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the expected return of the investment.

CoV = SD / r

Where,

SD is the standard deviationr is the expected return

CoV = 0.107 / 0.064

CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67

If the price of the good produced is $7, what is the marginal revenue product (MRPL=11) of the 11th worker? B. Suppose the price of the good sold is $10 and the marginal factor cost of labor(MFC) is $700, how many units of labor will the firm hire?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Labor Input       Physical output  

    10                              500

     11                               600

     12                              690

     13                              760

     14                               800

marginal output of 11 th labor = 600 - 500 = 100

price of each product = 7

marginal revenue product  of 11 th labor  7 x 100 = 700

B )

price of each of  the goods sold = 10

marginal factor cost of labour = 700

minimum no of goods to be sold to cover the labour cost

= 700 / 10 = 70

no of goods added due to  addition of 11 the labour = 100

no of goods added due to  addition of 12 the labour = 90

no of goods added due to  addition of 13 the labour = 70

so no of units of labor upto which  the firm will continue to hire

= 13 .  

King enterprises has an Total Asset Turnover ratio of 5.0, Profit margin of 3%, and a ROE equals to 18%. What is the firm's equity mulitplier (Total Asset/Equity)? Use DuPont Analysis.

Answers

Answer: 1.2

Explanation:

The DuPont Analysis is a method of calculating the Return on Equity by using various other ratios. It shows the relatiosnhips between variables in a firm and can help the firm know which areas to target to improve ROE.

Using the DuPont Analysis, the Return on Equity is;

ROE = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier

18% = 3% * 5 * Equity Multiplier

18% = 0.15 * Equity Multiplier

Equity Multiplier = 18%/0.15

Equity Multiplier = 1.2

The company is considering the purchase of machinery and equipment to set up a line to produce a combination washer-dryer. They have given you the following information to analyze the project on a 5-year timeline:
Initial cash outlay is $150,000, no residual value.
Sales price is expected to be $2,250 per unit, with $595 per unit in labor expense and $795 per unit in materials.
Direct fixed costs are estimated to run $20,750 per month.
Cost of capital is 8%, and the required rate of return is 10%.
They will incur all operational costs in Year 1, though sales are expected to be 55% of break-even.
Break-even (considering only direct fixed costs) is expected to occur in Year 2.
Variable costs will increase 2% each year, starting in Year 3.
Sales are estimated to grow by 10%, 15%, and 20% for years 3 - 5.
Then to calculate:
The product’s contribution margin
Break-even quantity
NPV
IRR
Finally:
Explain how the project analyses do or do not support this decision.
In either case, what are the factors that should have been considered in management’s decision?

Answers

Answer:

Break-even quantity = 290 units

NPV = -$150,038.78  

IRR = -12.07%

This project should be rejected because it has a negative NPV and IRR. You would not be able to even recover your own investment, the sales output is too small.

Explanation:

initial outlay -$150,000

selling price per unit $2,250

production costs:

labor $595materials $795

total fixed costs $20,750

contribution margin per unit = $2,250 - ($595 + $795) = $860

contribution margin year 3 = $2,250 - $1,417.80 = $832.20

contribution margin year 4 = $2,250 - $1,446.16 = $803.84

contribution margin year 4 = $2,250 - $1,475.08 = $774.92

in order to calculate the break even point in units we must determine the total fixed costs per year = $20,750 x 12 = $249,000

break even point in units = $249,000 / $860 = 289.5 ≈ 290 units

sales during first year = 290 x 55% = 159.5 ≈ 160 units

sales during second year = 290 units

sales during third year = 290 x 1.1 = 319 units

sales during fourth year = 319 x 1.15 = 366.85 ≈ 367 units

sales during fifth year = 367 x 1.2 = 440.4 ≈ 440 units

net cash flow year 1 = $137,600 - $249,000 = -$111,400

net cash flow year 2 = $249,400 - $249,000 = $400

net cash flow year 3 = $265,471.80 - $249,000 = $16,471.80

net cash flow year 4 = $295,009.28 - $249,000 = $46,009.28

net cash flow year 5 = $340,964.80 - $249,000 = $91,964.80

using a financial calculator and a 10% discount rate, NPV = -$150,038.78  and IRR = -12.07%

In this exercise we have to use finance knowledge to calculate the quantity and taxes calculated on the product, so we have to:

1)  [tex]Break-even \ quantity = 290 units\\NPV = -$150,038.78 \\IRR = -12.07%[/tex]

2) This project should be rejected because it has a negative NPV and IRR. You would not be able to even recover your own investment, the sales output is too small.

Given the values ​​in the text of:

Initial outlay [tex]\$150,000[/tex] Selling price per unit [tex]\$2,250[/tex] Labor [tex]\$595[/tex] Materials [tex]\$795[/tex] Total fixed costs [tex]\$20,750[/tex]

Now calculating the margin for each unit we find that:

Contribution margin per unit: [tex]\$2,250 - (\$595 + \$795) = \$860[/tex] Contribution margin year 3: [tex]\$2,250 - \$1,417.80 = \$832.20[/tex] Contribution margin year 4: [tex]\$2,250 - \$1,446.16 = \$803.84[/tex] Contribution margin year 5: [tex]\$2,250 - \$1,475.08 = \$774.92[/tex]

Knowing that break even point in units it is worth it 290, we have to:  

Sales during year 1:  [tex]290 * 55\% = 159.5 = 160 \ units[/tex] Sales during year 2: [tex]290 \ units[/tex]Sales during year 3: [tex]290 * 1.1 = 319 \ units[/tex] Sales during year 4: [tex]319 * 1.15 = 366.85 = 367 \ units[/tex] Sales during year 5: [tex]367* 1.2 = 440.4= 440\ units[/tex]

So to calculate the net cash we found that:

Net cash flow year 1: [tex]\$137,600 - \$249,000 = -\$111,400[/tex] Net cash flow year 2:  [tex]\$249,400 - \$249,000 = \$400[/tex] Net cash flow year 3: [tex]\$265,471.80 - \$249,000 = \$16,471.80[/tex] Net cash flow year 4:  [tex]\$295,009.28 - \$249,000 = \$46,009.28[/tex] Net cash flow year 5:  [tex]\$340,964.80 - \$249,000 = \$91,964.80[/tex]
