Consider once again the project with the cash flows described below. Determine whether this is a simple or non- simple investment AND how many possible values of i* exist using the Accumulated Cash Flow Sign Test.
A0 = -$7,500, A1 = 4,200, A2 = 3,675, A3 = -2,625, A4 = 5,250, A5 = -1,050, A6 = 1,575, A7 = 675, A8 = -3,000, A9 = 750, A10 = 750
Simple investment, at most 1 i* value
Non-simple investment, at most 1 i* value
Simple investment, at most 3 i* values
Non-simple investment, at most 3 i* values
Simple investment, at most 7 i* values

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (D)

Explanation:

Using the accumulated cash flow sign test,

- This investment is a non-simple investment.

This is because the net cash flow changes sign (to positive and back to negative) more than once, during the study period.

- There are at most 3 i* values. That is values for Internal Rate of Return. This is owing to the multiple change in sign during the period.

The correct answer is option D - Non simple investment with at most 3 values for internal rate of return (i*)

Chester Company plans to introduce a new product. A market research specialist claims that 20,000 units can be sold at a $100 selling price. Assuming the company desires a profit margin of 22% of sales, what is the target cost per unit

Answers

Answer:

$78

Explanation:

Profit margin is the ratio of profit to sales while the profit is the difference between the sales and the cost.

As such, profit margin is the ratio of the difference between the sales and the cost to the sales.

Given that margin is 22%, it means that

22% =  profit/(20,000 * $100)

Profit = $440,000

Total cost = $2,000,000 - $440,000

= $1,560,000

Target cost per unit = $1,560,000/20,000

= $78

(Appendix 11.1) Depreciation for Financial Statements and Income Tax Purposes Dinkle Company purchased equipment for $50,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. Dinkle uses straight-line depreciation for its financial statements. Required: What is the difference between the company's income before taxes reported on its financial statements and the taxable income reported on its tax return in each of the first 2 years of the asset's life if the asset was purchased on January 2, 2016, and its MACRS life is 5 years?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For year 1

According to the Company's Books Depreciation

= (Orginal Cost - Salvage value) ÷ useful Life

= ($50,000 - $5,000)  ÷ 10 years

= $4,500

According to the Income Tax Depreciation

= Cost × MACRS Rate for Year 1

= $50,000  × 20%

= $10,000

So, the difference in year 1 is

= $10,000 - $4,500

= $5,500

For year 2

According to the Company's Books Depreciation

= (Orginal Cost - Salvage value) ÷ useful Life

= ($50,000 - $5,000)  ÷ 10 years

= $4,500

According to the Income Tax Depreciation

= Cost × MACRS Rate for Year 2

= $50,000  × 32%

= $16,000

So, the difference in year 1 is

= $16,000 - $4,500

= $11,500

The Casings Plant of Wyoming Machines makes plastics shells for the company’s calculators. (Each calculator requires one shell.) For each of the next two years, Wyoming expects to sell 160,000 calculators. The beginning finished goods inventory of shells at the Casings Plant is 20,000 units. However, the target ending finished goods inventory for each year is 5,000 units. Each unit (shell) requires 6 ounces of plastic. At the beginning of the year, 60,000 ounces of plastic are in inventory. Management has set a target to have plastic on hand equal to two months’ sales requirements. Sales and production take place evenly throughout the year. Required: a. Compute the total targeted production of the finished product for the coming year. b. Compute the required amount of plastic to be purchased for the coming year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the targeted production of the finished product is shown below:

= Expected sales units - beginning finished goods + ending finished goods

= 160,000 - 20,000 + 5,000

= 145,000 shells

b. The required amount of plastic purchased is

Plastic to be purchased = Consumed plastic + closing inventory - opening inventory

where,

Consumed plastic is

= 145,000 × 6 ounces

= 870,000 ounces

Opening inventory is 60,000  ounces

And, the closing inventory is

= 160,000  ÷ 12 months × 2 months × 6 ounces

= 160,000

So, the purchased plastic is

= 870,000 + 160,000 - 60000

= 970,000 ounces

The total targeted production of the finished product for the coming year is $145,000shells. The required amount of plastic to be purchased is 970,000 ounces.

What is inventory?    

All the raw materials available for production plus all the goods produced that are intended for sale are known as inventory.

A. Computing total targeted production of the finished product-

[tex]=Expected sales units - beginning finished goods + ending finished goods\\=160,000-20,000+5,000\\=145,000 shells[/tex]

B. Computing required amount of plastic to be purchased

[tex]=Consumed plastic+ closing inventory-inventory at end\\=870,000+160,000-60,000\\=970,000[/tex]

Working note-

Consumed plastic is calculated as 145,000 x 6 ounces.Closing inventory is calculated as 160,000/12 x 2 x 6.

Therefore, the required amount of plastic to be purchased is 970,000.

Answers

Answer:

All of the statements above are correct.

Explanation:

All of the following statements listed below are correct and true about business management;

1. Many large firms operate different divisions in different industries, and this makes it hard to develop a meaningful set of industry benchmarks for these types of firms.

Hence, industry average or benchmarks are more applicable to a small and medium enterprise than it's to large enterprises. The industry benchmark is a process that is focused on comparing an industry with other successful industries.

2. Financial ratios should be interpreted with caution because there exist seasonal and accounting differences that can reduce their comparability.

Hence, it is important to interpret financial ratios with care and reasonable logic as factors such as inflation and depreciation.

3. Financial ratios should be interpreted with caution because it may be difficult to say with certainty what is a "good" value is neither high nor low.

4. Ratio analysis facilitates comparisons by standardizing numbers.

Ratio analysis can be defined as the analysis and comparison  of various line items in the financial statements of a business such as the income statement or balance sheet, in order to gain insight into its operational efficiency, profitability and liquidity. Types of ratio analysis are liquidity, efficiency, solvency, market value, and profitability ratio.

Answers

Answer:

D. 76.6 %

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

First Calculate the Contribution

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

                     = (60,000 units × $ 12.40) -  ($110,000+$30,000+$34,000)

                     = $744,000 - $174,000

Assume that you are an intern with the Brayton Company, and you have collected the following data: The yield on the company's outstanding bonds is 7.75%; its tax rate is 25%; the next expected dividend is $0.65 a share; the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% a year; the price of the stock is $15.00 per share; the flotation cost for selling new shares is F= 5%; and the target capital structure is 25% debt and 75% common equity. What is the firm's WACC, assuming it must issue new stock to finance its capital budget?
a. 6.89%
b. 7.24%
c. 7.64%
d. 8.55%
e. 8.44%

Answers

Answer:

WACC is 9.37%

Explanation:

After tax cost of debt=yield to maturity*(1-t)

where t is the tax rate of 25% or 0.25

after tax cost of debt=7.75%*(1-0.25)=5.81%

Using stock price formula,the cost of equity can be determined as below:

stock price=Di/k-g

Di is the next dividend of $0.65

k is the cost of equity which is unknown

g is the constant growth rate of 6.00%

stock price=$15*(1-f)

f is the flotation cost percentage

stock price=$15*(1-5%)=$14.25

14.25=0.65/k-6%

14.25(k-6%)=0.65

k-6%=0.65/14.25

k=(0.65/14.25)+6%=10.56%

WACC=Ke*We+Kd*Wd

ke is 10.56%

We is the weight of equity which is 75%

Kd is 5.81%

We is the weight of debt which is 25%

WACC==(10.56%*75%)+(5.81%*25%)=9.37%

On November 6, 2018, Jake Lawson purchased a season pass for $450.1. What will be included in the Ski West 2018 Income statement and balance sheet related to the sale of the season pass to Jake Lawson? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. 2. When should Ski West recognize revenue from the sale of its season passes?3. Prepare the appropriate ournal enteries that Sky West would record on November 6 and December 31.

Answers

Answer:

Ski West, Inc.

1. What Ski West 2018 should include in its Income statement and balance sheet related to the sale of the season pass to Jake Lawson?

a) Income Statement:

Season Passes Revenue = $90 ($450/5).  This represents December season pass by Jake Lawson.

b) Balance Sheet:

Unearned Season Passes Revenue $360 as a current liability.

2. When Ski West should recognize revenue from the sale of its season passes:

Revenue should be recognized on December 31.

3. Journal Entries on November 6 and December 31:

November 6:

Debit Cash Account $450

Credit Unearned Season Passes Revenue $450

To record the receipt from Jake Lawson.

If this sale was on account, then the Accounts Receivable is debited instead.

December 31:

Debit Unearned Season Passes Revenue $90

Credit Season Passes Revenue $90

To record the earned revenue from Jake Lawson's.

Explanation:

Unearned revenue is not recognized in the income statement.  It is taken to the Balance Sheet as a current liability.  It is not recognized because it does not belong to the current period, as specified by the accrual concept and matching principle.

A delivery company is considering adding another vehicle to its delivery fleet; each vehicle is rented for $100 per day. Assume that the additional vehicle would be capable of delivering 1,500 packages per day and that each package that is delivered brings in ten cents in revenue. Also assume that adding the delivery vehicle would not affect any other costs.

Required:
a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to S200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC? Should the firm add a delivery vehicle under these circumstances?
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to SIOO per day but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?

marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit

MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150

marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.

b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?

MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)

MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?

MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75

MRC = $100

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

b. $1.2742
c. $1.4284
d. $1.3750
e. None of the above.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is (a) $1.5415

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Annual deposit rate for dollar =6%

Annual deposit rate for Euro = 4%

n = 5 years

The present spot rate of Euro =$1,4015

The next step is to obtain the implied rate for the Euro.

Thus

Implied rate = $1,4015[(1.06)/(1.04)]^5

= $1,4015 * 1.019230769^5

=$1,4015* 1.099923877

=$1.5415

Hence the implied rate for Euro 5 years from now is $1.5415

A firm in a purely competitive industry has a typical cost structure. The normal rate of profit in the economy is 5 percent. This firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders.
a. What is its percentage rate of return? 11 percent.
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? Yes If so, how large? 6 percent.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit? Entry
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?

Answers

Answer: The answers are given below

Explanation:

a. What is its percentage rate of return?

From the question, we are told that the firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders. The percentage of return will now be:

= $5.50/$50 × 100%

= 0.11 × 100%

= 11%

b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? If so, how large?

The economic profit will be the difference that exists between the percentage of return which is 11% and the normal rate of profit which is 5%. This will be:

= 11% - 5%

= 6%

The firm is earning economic profit of 6%.

c. Will this industry see entry or exit?

There will be entry into the industry. This is because the percentage of return which is 11% is greater than the normal rate of profit which is 5%.

d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?

The rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium will be 5% which is the normal rate of profit in the economy.

Ramsey Company produces speakers (Model A and Model B). Both products pass through two producing departments. Model A's production is much more labor-intensive than that of Model B. Model B is also the more popular of the two speakers. The following data have been gathered for the two products.


Model A Model B
Units produced per year 10,000 Units produced per year 100,000
Prime Costs $150,000 Prime Costs $1,500,000
Direct Labor Hours 140,000 Direct labor Hours 300,000
Machine Hours 20,000 Machine Hours 200,000
Production runs 40 Production runs 60
Inspection hours 800 Inspection hours 1200
Maintenance hours 10,000 Maintenance hours 90,000

Overhead costs:
Setup costs $270,000
Inspection costs $210,000
Machining $240,000
Maintenance $270,000
Total overhead costs $990,000

Required:
a. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours (Round to two decimal places).
b. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using ABC.
c. Using the activity-based product costs as the standard, comment on the ability of departmental rates to improve the accuracy of product costing. Did the department rate do better than the plant rate?

Answers

Answer:

a. $2.05 (two decimal places)

b. Model A = $312,000  Model B= $1,397,000

c. The use of departmental overheads rate is more accurate than the plant wide.

Explanation:

Plant wide overhead rate = Total Overheads / Total Activity

                                          =  $990,000 / (140,000 + 300,000)

                                          =  $990,000 / 440,000

                                          = $2.04545 OR $2.05 (two decimal places)

For ABC, first calculate Cost Driver Rate as follows :

Setup costs =  $270,000 / (40 +60)

                    =  $2,700 per production run.

Inspection costs = $210,000 / (800 +1,200)

                           = $105 per inspection hour

Machining = $240,000 / (20,000 + 200,000)

                 = $1.09 per machine hour

Maintenance = $990,000 / (10,000 + 90,000)

                      = $9.90 per maintenance hour

The next step is to Allocate the overheads  to the Products :

                                                Model A             Model B

Overhead costs:

E. Salena is responsible for deciding whether she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force.

Answers

Answer:

The employee facing ethical dilemmas is SELENA because Salena is responsible for deciding whether she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force

Explanation:

Ethical dilemma can be seen as the way in which a person or an individual is finding it hard to make a decision between two alternatives due to the difficulty in deciding on the one to accept or reject ,Which is why ETHICAL DILEMMAS may lead to arising of complexity out of the situational conflict in which choosing one alternative may result in transgressing another.

Although no matter the difficulty on deciding on which one to go for a choice has to be made between the two equally undesirable alternatives.

Therefore a person or an individual often faces ethical dilemmas on their day to day activities , because knowing how to do the right thing as well as knowing the difference between the one that is right and wrong can be difficult and often times subjective which is what Salena was facing by finding it hard to decide on the two alternatives which is either she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force.

When your father was born 46 years ago, his grandparents deposited $450 in an account for him. Today, that account is worth $25,000. What was the annual rate of return on this account

Answers

Answer:

9.1%

Explanation:

To calculate the annual rate of return on this account you can use the following formula:

r = ( FV / PV )^1/n - 1, where

r= rate of return

FV= future value= 25,000

PV= present value= 450

n= number of periods of time= 46

r=(25,000/450)^(1/46)-1

r=55.56^0.0217-1

r=1.091-1

r=0.091 → 9.1%

According to this, the annual rate of return on this account was 9.1%.

Answers

Answer:

Cost per pound of confetti= $3.44  per pound

Explanation:

The cost per pound of the Confetti = Total material cost divided by the total pound

Total material cost = (2×$4.07)  + (4× $2.71) + ( 2× $4.25)= $27.48

Net Present Value

Answers

Answer:

NPV   4,648  

Payback period   2.88  

IRR  22.69%

Simple rate of return  31.33%

Explanation:

Payback period = 2 year + (10,000 – cash in year 1 – cash in year 2)/ cash in year 3 = 2.88 years

Net Present Value = -10000 + 2400/(1+8%) + 4800/(1+8%)^2+ 3,200/(1+8%)^3 + 3,200/(1+8%)^4 + 2,800/(1+8%)^5 + 2,400/(1+8%)^6 = 4,648

 

Simple Rate of Return = average cash inflow/ investment =  ((2,400+4,800+3,200+3,200+2,800+2,400)/6)/10,000 = 31.33%

Arnell Industries has $35 million in permanent debt outstanding. The firm will pay interest only on this debt. Arnell’s marginal tax rate is expected to be 21% for the foreseeable future. a) Suppose Arnell pays interest of 7% per year on its debt. What is its annual interest tax shield? b) What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming its risk is the same as the loan?

Answers

Answer:

a) $0.5145 million

b) $7.35 million

Explanation:

Given:

Permanent debt outstanding = $35,000,000

Expected marginal tax rate = 21%

a) Suppose they pay an interest of 7% per year on debt. Find the annual interest tax shield.

To find annual interes tax shield use the formula below:

Annual interest tax​ shield =Total par value of Debt × interest rate × tax rate

= $35,000,000 × 7% × 21%

= $35,000,000 × 0.07 × 0.21

= $514,500

Annual interest tax​ shield = $0.5145 million

b) What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming its risk is the same as the loan?

Use the formula:

Present value of the interest tax​ shield = Annual interest tax​ shield /loan interest rate

= $514,500 / 7%

= $7,350,000

present value of the interest tax​ shield = $7.35 million

Your employees are skilled and experienced customer service representatives who perform non-routine tasks, such as solving unique customer problems or meeting special needs with the company's equipment. Use path-goal theory to identify and explain the most appropriate leadership style(s) you should use in this situation. b) An argument often put forward in support of teams is that they are 'synergistic' -'the whole is greater than the sum of their parts'. Explain two challenges in team dynamics which makes it difficult for you to support this view

Answers

Explanation:

The path-goal theory is based on adjusting the leadership style to the needs of employees and the work environment, in order to achieve goals.

In the scenario above, there is a work environment composed of qualified and experienced employees for the function, so the most appropriate leadership style for this scenario according to the path-goal theory would be participative and achievement-oriented leadership.

Participative leadership is a leadership style that ensures greater involvement of employees in decision-making, is effective in a work environment that has qualified and engaged employees. The achievement-oriented leadership style refers to the challenging goals proposed by the leader to employees and the confidence he has in the employees' ability to meet their expectations.

b) Two challenges in the team dynamics that make it difficult to support the view that teams are synergistic may be the lack of communication and a very centralized leadership.

The teams are composed of individuals with different personalities but who join their efforts to achieve organizational goals and objectives.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a leadership style that is geared towards the whole of the team, that seeks to engage and respect the individualities of each member of the team but that motivates them to seek common goals. It is also necessary that communication is valued, that all members feel they are a necessary part of the team, so that the information can be passed on properly and also to avoid conflicts that may occur.

Path-goal theory is vital in specifying the style and the behavior of the leader which beat fits the employee and work environment.

Based on the information given, the most appropriate leadership styles that can be used include participative leadership, supportive leadership, and directive.

The challenges in team dynamics that make it difficult to support this view will be a lack of trust and inadequate knowledge or information. It should be noted that trust and transparency are vital in teamwork and lack of these affects effective participation.

McGovern Enterprises is interested in issuing bonds with warrants attached. The bonds will have a 30-year maturity and annual interest payments. Each bond will come with 20 warrants that give the holder the right to purchase one share of stock per warrant. The investment bankers estimate that each warrant will have a value of $10.00. A similar straight-debt issue would require a 10% coupon. What coupon rate should be set on the bonds-with-warrants so that the package would sell for $1,000?

Answers

Answer:

The multiple choices are:

6.64%

7.11%

7.48%

7.88%

8.27%

coupon rate is 7.88%

Explanation:

In determining the coupon rate to set on the bond,we need to calculate the  annual coupon of the debt using the pmt formula in excel

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the coupon on similar straight debt issue

nper is number of coupons the bond would pay which is 30

pv =$1000-(value of 20 warrants)

pv=$1000-(20*$10)

pv=$800

fv id the face value of $1000

=pmt(10%,30,-800,1000)= 78.78  

coupon rate=coupon amount/face value=$78.78/$1000=7.88%
