BSU Inc. wants to purchase a new machine for $45,600, excluding $1,200 of installation costs. The old machine was bought five years ago and had an expected economic life of 10 years without salvage value. This old machine now has a book value of $1,900, and BSU Inc. expects to sell it for that amount. The new machine would decrease operating costs by $10,000 each year of its economic life. The straight-line depreciation method would be used for the new machine, for a six-year period with no salvage value.
a. Determine the cash payback period.
b. Determine the approximate internal rate of return.
c. Assuming the company has a required rate of return of 7%, determine whether the new machine should be purchased.
Answer:
4.49 years
IRR = 8.97% or 9% approximately
The machine should be purchased because the IRR is greater than the required return
Explanation:
Net investment cost = Cost of new machine - salvage value of old machine + tax (salvage value of old machine - book value of old machine)
cost of the new machine = cost of the machine + installation cost
$45,600 + $1,200 = $46800
Net investment cost = $46800 - $1,900 + 0 = $44,900
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
44,900 / 10,000 = 4.49 years
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -44,900
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 6 = $10,000
IRR = 8.97% or 9% approximately
The machine should be purchased because the IRR is greater than the required return
To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

Explanation:
Make Me brain list if you think it's a valued answer
The pre-approved credit that Rico after applying for a credit card is a line of credit. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
What is a line of credit?A line of credit (LOC) is a predetermined borrowing amount that may be accessed whenever necessary. Until the cap is reached, the borrower is free to withdraw money as needed. In the event of an open line of credit, money can be borrowed once more as it is repaid.
A LOC is an agreement that sets the maximum loan amount that a customer can borrow between a financial institution—typically a bank—and the consumer. The maximum amount (or credit limit) stipulated in the agreement may never be exceeded by the borrower while drawing money from the LOC.
Therefore, the name for the $20,000 that Rico got is a line of credit.

The price of gasoline is $1 per gallon and the price of a hamburger is $4. If you currently receive marginal utility of 5 from gasoline and marginal utility of 8 from a hamburger, you should buy less gasoline and more hamburgers.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
false
Explanation:
Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good
the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.
Marginal utility per good = marginal utility / price of the good
gasoline = 5 / 1 = 5
hamburger = 8/4 = 2
gasoline gives a higher utility per good. Thus, more of gasoline should be purchased

Cartel A large share of the world supply of diamonds comes from Russia and South Africa. Suppose that the marginal cost of mining diamonds is constant at $3,000 per diamond, and the demand for diamonds is described by the following schedule: Price Quantity (Dollars) (Diamonds) 8,000 3,000 7,000 4,000 6,000 5,000 5,000 6,000 4,000 7,000 3,000 8,000 2,000 9,000 1,000 10,000
1. If there were many suppliers of diamonds, the price would beper diamond and the quantity sold would bediamonds.
2. If there were only one supplier of diamonds, the price would beper diamond and the quantity sold would bediamonds. Suppose Russia and South Africa form a cartel.
3. In this case, the price would beper diamond and the total quantity sold would be ____??? diamonds. If the countries split the market evenly, South Africa would produce ____??? diamonds and earn a profit of $___???.
4. If South Africa increased its production by 1,000 diamonds while Russia stuck to the cartel agreement, South Africa's profit would DECREASE OR INCREASE to $____???.
5. Why are cartel agreements often not successful? CHOOSE ONE
One party has an incentive to cheat to make more profit.
Different firms experience different costs.
All parties would make more money if everyone increased production.
1. If there were many suppliers of diamonds, the price would be $3,000 per diamond and the quantity sold would be 8,000 diamonds.
2. If there were only one supplier of diamonds, the price would be $6,000 per diamond and the quantity sold would be 5,000 diamonds.
Suppose Russia and South Africa form a cartel.
3. In this case, the price would be $6,000 per diamond and the total quantity sold would be 5,000 diamonds. If the countries split the market evenly, South Africa would produce 2,500 (5,000/2) diamonds and earn a profit of $7,500,000 (2,500 x $3,000).
4. If South Africa increased its production by 1,000 diamonds while Russia stuck to the cartel agreement, South Africa's profit would DECREASE to $7,000,000 (3,500 * $2,000).
In this situation, South Africa will produce 3,500 and Russia 2,500 diamonds. The total quantity produced will be 6,000 and price will then reduce to $5,000 per diamond. The profit margin will reduce to $2,000 per diamond ($5,000 - $3,000) from $3,000 per diamond as in 3 above.
5. Cartel agreements are often not successful because One party has an incentive to cheat to make more profit.
Thus, the incentive is for producers to maximize profits always, where the marginal revenue (MR) is equal or greater than the marginal cost (MC).

Using Present Value Concepts for Decision Making
You have just won the state lottery and have two choices for collecting your winnings. You can collect $105,000 today or receive $20,700 at the end of each year for the next seven years. A financial analyst has told you that you can earn 9% on your investments.
Required:
1. Calculate the present value of both the options (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1).
2. Which alternative should you select?
Answer:
1. Option 1: Present value of cash winnings collected today = $105,000 * 1 = $105,000
Option 2: Present value of annual cash collections = $20,700 * 5.033 = $104,183
2. Option 1 should be selected.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash winnings collected today = $105,000
Annual cash collection = $20,700
Discount factor = 9%
Period of annual cash flows = 7 years
Present Value Annuity Factor at 9% for 7 years = 5.033
Present value of cash winnings collected today = $105,000 * 1 = $105,000
Present value of annual cash collections = $20,700 * 5.033 = $104,183
NPV = ($817)
b) Option 1 is worth more in present value terms than option 2. The present value consideration is all about taking into account the time value of money. Using a present value annuity factor of 5.033, the annual cash inflows are determined to their present value to be $104,183. This is less than the $105,000 cash collected today in bulk.

Steve and Stephanie Pratt purchased a home in Spokane, Washington, for $575,000. They moved into the home on February 1 of year 1. They lived in the home as their primary residence until June 30 of year 5, when they sold the home for $927,500. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
a. What amount of gain on the sale of the home are the Pratts required to include in taxable income?
Recognized gain
b. Assume the original facts, except that Steve and Stephanie lived in the home until January 1 of year 3 when they purchased a new home and rented out the original home. They finally sell the original home on June 30 of year 5 for $927,500. Ignoring any issues relating to depreciation taken on the home while it was being rented, what amount of realized gain on the sale of the home are the Pratts required to include in taxable income?
Recognized gain
c. Assume the same facts as in part (b), except that the Pratts lived in the home until January of year 4 when they purchased a new home and rented out the first home. What amount of realized gain on the sale of the home will the Pratts include in taxable income if they sell the first home on June 30 of year 5 for $927,500?
Recognized gain
d. Assume the original facts, except that Stephanie moved in with Steve on March 1 of year 3 and the couple was married on March 1 of year 4. Under state law, the couple jointly owned Steve’s home beginning on the date they were married. On December 1 of year 3, Stephanie sold her home that she lived in before she moved in with Steve. She excluded the entire $102,500 gain on the sale on her individual year 3 tax return. What amount of gain must the couple recognize on the sale in June of year 5?
Recognized gain
Answer:
Steve and Stephanie Pratt
a. The amount of gain on the sale of the home that the Pratts are required to include in their taxable income is:
= $352,500
b. The amount of gain on the sale of the home that the Pratts are required to include in their taxable income is:
= $352,500
c. The amount of gain on the sale of the home that the Pratts are required to include in their taxable income is:
= $352,500
d. The amount of gain on the sale of the home that the Pratts are required to include in their taxable income is:
= $352,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial purchase cost of a home in Spokane = $575,000
Selling price of the home on June 30 of Year 5 = $927,500
Recognized gains = Selling price of the home Minus Initial Purchase Cost
= $352,500 ($927,500 - $575,000)
Pina Colada Company is considering two capital investment proposals. Estimates regarding each project are provided below:
Project Soup Project Nuts
Initial investment $400000 $600000
Annual net income 38000 54000
Net annual cash inflow 114000 140000
Estimated useful life 5 years 6 years
Salvage value 0 0
The company requires a 10% rate of return on all new investments.
Present Value of an Annuity of 1
Periods 9% 10% 11% 12%
5 3.890 3.791 3.696 3.605
6 4.486 4.355 4.231 4.111
The annual rate of return for Project Soup is:__________
a. 9.5%.
b. 19.0%.
c. 57.0%.
d. 28.5%.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Annual rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
Average book value = (cost of equipment - salvage value) / 2
(400,000 - 0) / 2 = $200,000
$38,000 / $200,000 = 0.19 = 19%
Sensitivity analysis:______.
a. is used for projects that cannot be analyzed by scenario analysis because the cash flows are unconventional.
b. helps identify the variable within a project that presents the greatest forecasting risk.
c. illustrates how an increase in operating cash flow caused by changing both the revenue and the costs simultaneously will change the net present value for a project.
d. looks at the most reasonably optimistic and pessimistic results for a project.
e. is generally conducted prior to scenario analysis just to determine if the range of potential outcomes is acceptable.
Answer:
b. helps identify the variable within a project that presents the greatest forecasting risk.
Explanation:
Sensitivity analysis refer to the financial model that measures how the variable i.e. target one should be impacted and depend on the change in the other variable that we called as an input variable
In this, it would help to identify the variable that lies within the project and provide the high risk of forecasting
Therefore the option b is correct
Whole Foods Market, Inc. (now a part of Amazon.com, Inc.) is a chain of grocery stores emphasizing natural and organic products. Starting out with a single store in 1980, the company has grown to over 400 stores in North America and the United Kingdom. As a part of the corporate culture, local and regional managers had wide discretion on sourcing and operations. Such discretion can lead to increased costs in the form of administrative duplication.
Recently, Whole Foods "is whittling away at some of that autonomy in an effort to reduce costs and boost its clout with suppliers." One way the company will do this "is shifting more responsibility for buying packaged foods, detergents and other nonperishable items for the more than 430 stores to its Austin, Texas, headquarters."
At the same time, the company recognizes the benefits to decentralized authority. While taking duplication out of the system, the company wants to retain the elements that are important to the company.
"We want to evolve the structure in such a way that we take out redundancy and waste, and at the same time though, we’re not diminishing the culture, the empowerment efforts that make Whole Foods Market special," he [John Mackey, CEO] told analysts in November.
As of early 2018, the expected benefits have failed to materialize. As an example, items were sometimes out of stock after the store began using an inventory system as directed by corporate management.
This is an example of how difficult it can be to implement new policies that run counter to established corporate cultures.
Required:
What best describes the benefits Whole Foods likely hoped to receive by having local managers source food and make operational decisions?
a. Faster response
b. Better use local knowledge and Faster response
c. Wiser use of management's time and Training, evaluation, and motivation of local managers
d. Training, evaluation, and motivation of local managers
e. Wiser use of management's time
f. Better use local knowledge
Answer:
c. Wiser use of managements time and Training, evaluation, and motivation of local managers.
Explanation:
Whole Foods Inc. have decentralized system. It has run the culture of decentralization in the stores and the managers are able to make decisions themselves but it has resulted in increased cost. The CEO wants to minimize the cost but also on the other hand he does not want to demotivate its employees. For this purpose the store managers should be given authority to make necessary decisions without consent of head office but this authority should be limited as there can be chances for frauds if extra ordinary authority is given to them. The managers should report the head office about the decisions they make and they should be held accountable for their actions.
A jeweler purchases silver for use in its products. The firm uses 180 grams of silver per week and purchases silver for $2.6 per gram from a supplier. The cost to hold one gram of silver in inventory for one year is $0.52. Each time the firm orders silver from the supplier, the firm must pay a $12 order processing charge.
Required:
What is the optimal order quantity (in grams)?
Answer:
407.62 grams
Explanation:
The computation of the optimal order quantity (in grams) is shown below;
As we know that
Economic order quantity is
= (√2 × annual demand × ordering cost) ÷ (√carrying cost)
where
Annual demand = 180 × 52 = 9,360 grams
Carrying cost is = $2.6 × $0.52 = $1.352
Ordering cost = $12
Now the economic order quantity is
= (√2 × 9,360 × $12) ÷ (√1.352)
= (√224,640) ÷ (√1.352)
= 407.62 grams
The rules-based monetary policy reads: The annual growth rate in the money supply will be equal to the average annual growth rate in Real GDP minus the growth rate in velocity. If the average growth rate in Real GDP this year is 3 percent and the growth rate in velocity is 2 percent, then the money supply will increase by ______________ percent this year.
Answer:
the increase in the money supply is 1%
Explanation:
The computation of the increase in the money supply is given below;
The increase in the money supply is
= Growth rate in Real GDP - Growth rate in velocity
= 3% - 2%
= 1%
Hence, the increase in the money supply is 1%
It would be come by subtracting the two items from each other so that the accurate percentage could come
